You go to some stores for merchandise and others for the Proprietor but at this wonderful store in…read morethe center of Roslindale Square - you get the very best of both. This store is just a wonderful experience. A rare thing in today's commodity marketing. Every item is personally curated by Joanne from eclectic books, her handmade slippers, delicious gourmet food items, jewelry to larger one-of-a-kind pieces from her travels. And everything comes with a story of depth and delight. And who does not love a great storyteller. Come to this store for its fabulous collection of gifts and for a fun chat with Joanne where you know you will leave with both a great find and a story.

Love to wear glass? When you need to step out of the ordinary into the extraordinary and can…read moreactually AFFORD to wear art, this is the place to be. REAL ART with a pedigree tale of your newly found treasure. Liliana G is a renown artist that lives adventures by controlling fire and telling a story. Each piece is her playfulness in molten sand and colors. Her crafts have been featured in many journals and she has created pieces for the MOFA. Hard to believe that this little gem (all puns intended), pulses in a quiet shop only broken through by her hearty and happy laugh, off the street in Natick! You'd think you would find this type of shop in Alexandria Old Town (without the Torpedo Factory sticker price!) Her shop is off the rarely pedestrian path (and there SHOULD be more foot traffic in downtown Natick!), upstairs in an inconspicuous staircase to the left of Comellas. Up the stairs, take a right and you will see a small office area PACKED with colorful, glistening glass baubbles. I am particularly smitten with her "berry" pieces and these little "urns" you can put essential oils in and keep close to your chest for an "anxiety relief" fix OR just to entice conversation. Mix, match, play, feel (under her help and guidance), there are pieces for all tastes and all budgets. Her glass beads work with Pandora or other "like" products. Exquisite work and a bubbly, effervescent personality that is infectious and charming, both the owner and this is a girly dream of a shop will capture your imagination and your heart. Liliana Glass Beads & Jewelry will be closed through Spring and part of Summer Check in often, and visit in the late Summer/Early Spring, when her mail orders will also revamp.

I made this bowl for my wife for Mother's Day & filled it with home-baked scones. The personal lesson was great and it was given lots of opportunity to try new things and develop a technique. A great thing to do in Waban - especially wedged between some Stone L'Oven pizza or for parents looking to be busy while their kids are in the Karate studio next door. I'll definitely be back. Top notch experience!

I took my first-ever pottery wheel lesson at Thrown Ceramics and had the BEST time! Diana was an…read moreincredible instructor - patient, encouraging, relaxed, and great at breaking down the steps so even a total beginner like me could actually make something on the wheel. She explained the process and steps so well (and without anything feeling overwhelming) that I instantly knew I'd found my newest hobby! Thanks to Diana's lesson I was able to make a mug and I'm so proud that I made anything at all, let alone a mug (which I've used everyday now)! The studio is absolutely gorgeous so charming - it has such a calm, welcoming vibe. Mike and Diana are so welcoming and approachable, and have clearly created a space that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in and it feels like the kind of place where you immediately want to stay and keep creating. They also have an incredible selection of glazes, tools, and beautiful handmade pieces and gifts in the shop. Mike and Diana were so kind and knowledgeable as I asked millions of questions on what the different tools were used for, it's really cool that they have such a variety. AND they're right across from the Waban T stop which I love. I walked in excited to just try out something new but left completely hooked on ceramics. I can't wait to go back for more lessons!
