If you love art and have a passion for decorating, this is your one-stop shop for transforming your home into a personal space that truly brings you joy. I trust them completely--and so can you. I'm new to Austin. And there are some really sentimental shops to give business to around here. I feel a little guilty supporting this because it's a small community, and lots of these professionals crossed trained and learned their craft under local tutelage. But Art Direct is one stop. And Brent is as personal as service gets. Whatever your needs are, they will be serviced here.

Supplies are geared towards hobbyists with basic beads, yarns, frames, etc, and lots of craft kits for kids. You've got random holiday decor as well and a few fabric notions, but not enough really start making your own clothing from scratch. What makes it so special is first of all, the endless coupons and deals, so you'll never pay full price if come prepared. Secondly, your mileage may vary, but the employees that helped me were remarkably kind! I was prepared to entirely abandon my purchase because of the price, but they hunted down a lower cost option for me. Above and beyond!

Two stars because they do not accept tap to pay, or Apple Pay. The aisles are wide, although many of the shelves have little product on it.

I have to say this store has been a lifesaver for the last year. I decided to teach second grade…read moreafter being away for so long, and I needed a store like this so much. I found everything I needed and wanted, from lesson plans to games, all at a reasonable price. I must add that the staff was very instrumental in what I needed more than I did. They also suggested I get a discount card, but no need for that because teaching for me was only for one year! So I like to give them a big thank-you from all the teachers who show up, lost, after not teaching for a while!

They even have a great variety of paints, posters, games, and books too. I visited during the winter holiday and the staff was super helpful and friendly as I made my way around the store. I was offered assistance in finding the specific grade level flashcards and resources I was looking for. There is such a great diverse offerings of methods, themes, and strategies on all the things needed to help support any learner. I loved looking at every single thing in this store as I shopped. There was also great pricing and a large clearance area too worth your time to check out. I highly recommend signing up for the members free/texting offers. They always have great deals and offers. They offer discounts and freebies all the time.

Quite a fun large crafts fair put on every year by Hillcrest Baptist Church on the last weekend of…read moreOctober. It's free and it's one of the earliest arts & crafts shows in the area, so you can get a jump on your holiday shopping. Walking in any of the entrances, you will be greeted by a friendly older lady sitting at an information desk who will be happy to answer any questions and hand you a colorful booklet with maps, listing and locations of vendors, and the church's ministries information. Over 80 vendors' booths fill the large and small rooms of this spacious church. Visitors are guided from one room to the next, along a well defined path. All kinds of vendors fill the rooms; unique jewelry makers, handsewn dresses, aprons, kitchen towels, home decor knick-knacks, canned jellies and pickles, and Austin-original items like birdfeeders made from colorful dishes. Some of the items' styling is up-to-date; others are very traditional. Not everything is handmade, and there are a few resellers such as Tupperware, cosmetics, or The Pampered Chef, but they don't overwhelm the feeling of the fair. This year I found cute travel pillowcases and wooden wall art. There's likely something for everyone on your list here. Prices range from reasonable to a downright bargain. In the center of the church is the gym which has several aisles of vendors as well as food for sale. Hillcrest has a large kitchen in the gym which is run by adults but cashiered by the youth group. "Margaret's Chocolate Cake" here is LEGENDARY (with or without nuts). It's a must have; the cake is moist, delicious and flavorful and it rivals any restaurant. You can pre-order a whole cake on their restaurant. They also offer enchilada dinners (not so great), chicken croissant sandwiches and other foods. There's a dining room set up around the corner. It's a fun, family atmosphere. The youth group also helps the vendors set up and tear down their booths. Well done, Hillcrest! They HAVE been operating for 24 years so they know how to do it.

No where in their store, receipt, online or during my purchase was I told that the items were final sale. But the employees were crazy rude about me trying to return it. One of the ladies pulled a sign out from a drawer that stated Needohs were final sale.... I didn't buy Needohs. None the less the refused to refund items they sold. 100% would never recommend anyone shopping here due to their shady tactics and poor customer service. Funny to add their motto on their bag is to be kind and they were anything but kind.

I l love the Castelbel brand soaps, and I was able to get all of my favorite scents. Plus, the popular clothing, purse, and shoe brands were here too. I was also searching for some furniture pieces, and I have my eye on three different sets. Now I have to decide which one. That's a nice problem to have. Also, the wide range of colorful pots and pans caught my attention, too. I moved over to the comforter and sheets; they were very pretty. I like the prices on the sheets; given the high thread count and the fact that they were sateen, the prices were pretty reasonable. I even saw some candy I really like. But most of all, I found my soap. I even convinced the cashier to try it. Yes, this will be my go-to Marshalls!

Even though there were a lot of customers in line, it did move rather fast. My cashier was nice and helpful. She offered me a credit card and told me how much I could save on this purchase. But I declined the credit card. I my total for 3 blouses was $50.00 which I think was a good deal. They are very nice tops, if I do say so myself.
