I was also shocked at the variety of products that they had there. I feel like it awakened the creative part of me that I have been suppressing for way too long. Awesome vibes all because of Karlita and Erin can't wait to come back and see them again !!!!

Graphaids is a little slice of art supply heaven tucked away with parking! Every person working there is so knowledgable. You can tell they care and actually do art themselves.

My kids also love going and exploring and can stay there for as long as their mama wants :) They will also special order things if you request it. I would so much rather support them than any online retailer any day. They also care about their community and hold great little events. Truly a special place.

Lakeshore is geared towards teachers, however it's open to the public, so anyone can visit. (Also anyone can join their club which gives rewards and a free tote on your first visit!) They have tons of fun stuff for various grades (Pre-K to elementary age), tons of art supplies (paint, glittery stuff, poster board, etc), tons of school supplies (birthday certificates, wall certificates, etc), and books and toys galore! Some of the stuff can be $$$ (for example a book that was $17 here was $7 on Amazon) but other stuff is much more reasonably priced. We got some school work books for $3.50 each! Service was extra friendly, they have Covid protocols in place (masks required, sanitizer available), and the store was extra bright and clean. I can't wait to go back

Before the year comes to an end, I felt I had to write this review…read more Since moving to the United States, I had struggled to find a pen shop that truly felt right. Then, a few years ago, I discovered Flax Pen to Paper, and over several visits, I purchased fountain pens, notebooks, and inks from them. Every time I visited, I could genuinely feel how much they care about pens and paper. Their professionalism always made shopping there a pleasure. The staff are consistently kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful, creating an environment where customers can take their time and truly enjoy pens and stationery. Thanks to them, I've had many genuinely happy experiences. One of the fountain pens I purchased, however, developed an issue with the nib. Because I live quite far away, I wasn't able to return right away. After quite some time had passed, I decided to visit again--honestly, with very modest expectations. That day, I was helped by the staff and Jeremy. Even though a significant amount of time had passed since my purchase, they warmly and generously offered an excellent solution. The experience was incredibly kind and heartfelt--completely different from anything I've encountered at other pen shops in the U.S. I felt both grateful and a little sorry for their generosity, and I couldn't bring myself to leave without purchasing a few notebooks and inks. So I bought some notebooks and inks. It was a very warm-hearted experience. Flax Pen to Paper is truly a wonderful place. I sincerely appreciate that they exist and continue to run this business with such care and integrity. The forecast says it's going to rain tomorrow, but I'll still be stopping by to buy my planner for next year--and I know I'll be coming back again and again. Flax Pen to Paper-- thank you so much for being here. I truly mean it. If you're looking for notebooks, pens, or stationery, look no further. This is the place you should go. Based on my years of experience, I can't recommend them highly enough. I truly love Flax Pen to Paper.

Whether it's stationary or pens and everything related to it, you can pretty much find it here. The staff is also really polite.

I would say that pricing is fair and I would recommend to anyone searching for a good stationary option.

I love that they have early hours even on weekends for those of us still up at 7am no matter what.

They have tables and one BIG table for those enjoying café purchases and for those needing back support *cough cough* me. Village Well is just such a nice place to hangout in if you love books and/or need a place to work instead of home so you don't fall asleep. Anywhere that puts passion into books...is my favorite place.

As a local author, I want to share my experience with Village Well's consignment program so others…read morecan make informed decisions. I placed copies of my books there, including a recent title that had been in the store for less than six months. When I followed up, I was told there had been no recorded sales and that books are subject to removal after a period of time without activity. When I returned to the store, I noticed that much of the "local author" section appeared sparsely stocked, which raised concerns for me about how long books are kept on display and how actively they are supported. To be fair, the store did communicate that: Authors are responsible for following up on sales Shelf space is limited Books may be removed after a certain period However, I think it's important for other local authors to understand that: Placement does not guarantee visibility or promotion You may need to actively check in and market your book yourself Unsold books may be pulled without much notice If you're considering consignment, I recommend having a clear plan to promote your work and staying in regular contact with the store. Just sharing my experience so others go in with clear expectations.
