Unique stuff, that you aren't going to find at other stores (musical instruments - we had never seen before, nick knacks for decorating for a large variety of interest types), just all in all some really cool stuff. Tons of wax melts and candles if you are into those types of things. Wax melts had a bunch of scents I had never seen anywhere else before. Prices throughout the store seemed to be fair and the staff were all really friendly and helpful. We actually ended up getting a bunch of Christmas presents, so thanks Bleu River for that. If you're in the area, this place would be worth taking a few minutes to check out.

Having rented a nearby cabin we drove past this a few times and didn't realize it was a store of…read moremetal art pieces. Honestly if I hadn't googled it I thought it was just someone displaying their art. So after googling, we decided to make a stop and boy was it fun to walk around the property! It is much bigger then what you see driving by. My grandkids would have enjoyed all of the metal art pieces and I had a blast walking around and even found a treasure to take home. I wish I could have taken that Cedar Lion but it doesn't fit in the jeep. Only reason I didn't give it a five was I felt they should have shipping options ready, more small options, and a place to sit and maybe have a snack, simple meal and coffee or drinks. Prices on some items seemed too high, most fairly priced. Again for tourists getting items home that are large is an issue and I'd recommend the owners looking into options for their customers instead of customers needing to find a way.

That being said- there wasn't any pottery design or item in the shop that I hadn't seen some version in other shops. I love pottery, I miss throwing my own pottery- so until I have my own wheel and kiln, I buy from other artists. I picked up a lovely bowl today and will have to take a picture of the bowl to share. I did circle the room 3x before I finally spotted my purchase. I found gorgeous plates I loved, platters, mugs... you name it. But nothing had really struck me until I found the bowl with a gorgeous spiral inside. This is art- and priced as such. People underestimate how much time, labor and love going into handmade pottery. Not to mention pieces that break, flop on the wheel and random mess ups with glaze. Appreciate the artistry.

From the very beginning, Jaclyn was quick to respond to my messages and emails about party information and details. She made sure all the party guests were registered and had selected their own projects. I was very impressed with her communication skills and willingness to help! After we arrived, the staff at AR quickly went to work, helping me get our balloons, cake and snacks set up! The project supplies were already organized and set up. I was quickly able to relax, walk around and snap pictures of the party! I've never had so much freedom to enjoy myself at one of our parties! The Staff took care of absolutely EVERYTHING! AR workshop's staff of Avery, Pam, and Annika were very attentive and helpful to every participant! Even the owner, LuAnn, was hands-on, making sure everything went smoothly! I cannot say enough to convey how open, friendly, and helpful these ladies were! All of the individual projects turned out perfectly and every girl took home a beautiful project, lasting memories, and a huge smile on her face! We couldn't have asked for anything more!

Subsequently, they fly off the shelves ... but don't worry she gets several trucks a week, at least this time of year. I was lucky to be there when the truck arrived. Not only did I have first pick, there was definitely plenty of everything! I wanted one or two of each! Inside, I always have to get a couple of the scented wax (like scentsy) because they smell amazing! They are good quality and last as long as the scentsy brand ones. There are so many options! I usually get several $1 samples because I can cut them into 4 pieces (or more for the wall plug warmers) and can choose more scents at once! Favorite is Muscadine Vinyard, and Bora Bora was my second favorite. She also has scent warmers $10 small wall socket type and $20 large size. I noted she does embroidery and vinyl, she had some cute yeti-style tumblers and lots of shirts, etc in stock. She also does silk flower arrangement. Oh! And she has some jewelry and it is all super cute, good prices too. Add Pam's Crafts on Facebook to keep up with all the flower shipments - and you can call ahead to see what she has in stock or when the next truck is coming to be sure you don't leave empty handed! I included some Facebook post screen shots for reference.
