The interior of the studio is very cute though, they have 20 wheels so it can be a great place to invite friends. It was so much fun learning how to use the wheels and have the instructor show from start to finish how to throw, work and spin the clay. I will say it was very difficult to spot at first. They don't have a sign and they only have a painted logo on the glass. It's a tiny place, so you can easily miss it.

They don't just have ribbon--they have a ribbon room. They don't just have ornaments--they have an ornament room. Same for wreathes/garland as well as picks/sprays/branches. They have large items too, such as sleighs, artificial trees, and shopping mall quality vibrant statues/characters/displays. Most things are well-priced, however the large unique items will cost you much more than most of us will want to pay. Would I compare this place to the decorators warehouse up in Arlington/DFW?--absolutely. Both are awesome for Christmas decor.

Craftex - The Coolest Store in Houston Tucked onto a side…read morestreet in Bellaire, just off of Bellaire Boulevard near Hillcroft, is the amazing Craftex. I discovered the place through my friend, Greg Buchold. I had been admiring a Mardi Gras mask and wreath that he had put on his door and he told me about the place. I went looking for Mardi Gras stuff but was blown away by the extensive collection of cookbooks and design books that they sell, all discounted from retail list prices. But there was much much more. Just when I think I've seen everything there is to see in Houston, something new pops up on my radar. Check out the photos.

I was in the area for my birthday and she gave us suggestions on what else we could get into while we were there. They also had shoes, hello kitty and larger bears to paint. The process is very personal so that took some getting used to but I found that to be the most enjoyable about it. You get one hour to decorate your bear and if you're local you have a few days to pick it up once it dries. Our bears were $85 and shipping was $15. The delivery was smooth and my baby made it to me without any issues. I named her Fern :-). I'd definitely recommend this as a fun activity that's not liquor or food focused. Parking was a bit hectic but we were able to find something right outside. The area itself is walkable with lots of shops and places to eat surrounding it also.

It was hard for a group of Type A's to pour paint everywhere and make a mess, to get to your final piece, but we pushed through (lol) and loved our creations. And the staff was amazing.

This Michael's is close to home and is so clean and well organized. Not gonna lie, I forget about…read moreMichael's in general, but I'm always so happy to browse the aisles when I remember their existence. Check sales ads for coupons or download the Shopular app. Michael's typically has a 40% off and occasionally 50% off coupon (one-day only) in every ad. It can be used on regular priced items and expires about a week out. This trip I scored a really cool science experiment kit to package as a birthday gift for my Godson turning 8. This location will be my go-to...as long as I have a coupon . There's something for everyone here and crafts make me happy.

Worse mistake Michael's did was let them walk out. They always went out of their way to help me find what I was looking for or give suggestions if the item was not available. very friendly and welcoming me when I entered the store. The new store manager Tommy does NOT know what he is doing , much less manage a store, he's rude and condescending, hardly there. Always gone by 3pm. He is never available when needed.Michaels if you want to keep this location up and running you need to get rid of him. when your assistant manager leaves abruptly after being there for over 5 years, that says a lot about your store manager! I'm taking my business elsewhere.

The classes are really small so you do get a great experience and learn how to do it well. You create the plate and paint it in the same night, so when you pick it up, it's all ready to go in about two weeks. It's so fun to try out a pottery wheel, and they help out to ensure everyone can do it! They also offer premade pottery pieces where you can paint yourself and fire for you. I'll probably be back to do this sometime!
