Best hidden treasure in Waco, TX. Imagine a scrapbooking store on steroids! This place carries…read moreexclusive and unique scrapbooking paper, crafts, tools, stationary, and endless variety of ribbon, etc. You feel overwhelmed at first because there's just so much stuff to look at, but after awhile you start to see all the stickers, washi tape, stationary, papers, and delicate ribbon all around the store. As if the paper and stationary wasn't enough, they share a space with a local jewelry shop and a coffee shop! Your one stop shop for pretty finds in Waco! I purchased some textured stock paper to use for Valentines, and some candles for my sisters birthday we just celebrated. If you're ever in the area or driving through, I highly recommend stopping in! You feel like a kid again and the whole experience just gives you good vibes and motivation to get into scrapbooking!!

Boutique stationary and craft store that you can mindlessly peruse and then find you buy things you…read morehad no idea you wanted. They have interesting classes you can take, too. I try to support small businesses when I can so I try to avoid looking at the price on Amazon, but i did in this instance and it was 30% more inexpensive in store for this particular item. Spending local and with small businesses is a conscious decision, so when you can don't be so price motivated only and think of what keeps a local economy thriving.

Gary's a master at transferring your favorite photo files to ceramic tiles, mugs, and coasters…read more He's also quite talented at making fine writing pens. His shop is also filled with various other unique knick-knacks. I sent him an email with two of my favorite sports team logos, and he transferred them to 6x6 inch ceramic tiles within a day. I don't know how he does it, but he's really good at it. The best thing about transferring your photos to ceramic tiles is that they will literally last forever (unless you break the tile). So if you've got some favorite photos laying around - perhaps a wedding photo or pictures of your baby, children, or pets - email 'em to Gary and he'll have them transferred to tile lickety-split for next-to-nothing. He'll even have them delivered to your door!

Lark & Owl is a gem. This independant bookstore in GTX is a breath of fresh air. The book sections…read moreare small, but mighty. They highlight many diverse topics and have a nice local authors section. If they don't have the book you're lookng for, they can order for you. There are also locally sourced gifts and decor available. They have a kids corner, with an area for coloring and reading. I've seen a cartoon artist teaching a group how to draw. In addition to books/etc., there is a nice coffee shop with GF and vegan treats and small menu of lite bites. They alo have a huge loose tea selection. Lark and Owl has regular community engagements with local guest authors and speakers too. This is more than just a store. It's a community hub.

Our sorority was celebrating a sorority sister book launch this weekend at the Park & Owl…read moreBooksellers. This is the first time I've been to this bookstore. It's small, intimate and cozy. The owner conveyed this a woman owned and woman led bookstore. She also said some of their key bookstore tenets was inclusion, intersectionality, and authenticity. A total of 5 authors shared their thoughts on becoming authors, challenges and opportunities. The authors discussed different genres of books - children books, sci-fi, romance, poems and biographies. One author shared some thought-provoking messages: "You don't what you think until you see what you say. Words were currency and powerful." She also said her mother never asked her how her day was but instead what questions did you ask in class. She indicated these questions provoked deeper conversations. This was a great event...

Visited Stamp Salado from Georgetown, TX-there are no locally owned stamping stores in our area so…read morewe took a little trip to Salado. We could go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby for stamping gear but we love to visit the small shops & we are thrilled we visited Stamp Salado. The store is located right on Main Street in a very cute red cottage. The owner is such a pleasant lady, the store offers classes in store & plenty of stamping gear to buy, it does also have card stock & papers to pick from. They have sample cards all over the store to give you great inspiration. We will be back very soon.

I should have checked Yelp before ordering wedding invitations online from this company. The…read moreselection on the website is very good and my Fiance found a design that was in keeping with our informal mountain BBQ theme. That's about all I can say that's positive about my experience with this company. I placed the order and paid IN ADVANCE for the invitations. The site has a kludgy contact/order form that isn't even linked to PayPal so all I could do was enter our contact info and text we wanted on the invitations on a separate form. I received no confirmation email other than the payment being taken. This should have been my first red flag. Two weeks later I still had heard nothing and contacted the seller through information I found in the Paypal record. It was only then I received contact from the seller. I explained that due to our wedding date and not having heard from them in two weeks I had proceeded in another direction and wanted a refund since they had done nothing other than take my money. I got a call and text from the owner and she only cared about proving she had emailed me out of her system. She never once apologized or asked about the wedding or any glimmer of customer service. I was promised a refund in March and didn't get it. I was then promised a refund in April. She then texted to tell me she couldn't process the refund until May 1. And still nothing..... i'd give 0 stars if I could. Worst customer service ever.

From previous review I left earlier today Only posting on…read morehere because I am able to post the texts she had the nerve to text my fiancé : First I will start by saying she does nice work very nice. What I am rating is the experience. Our wedding date is this year so we need our invitations. She is pregnant so she informed us that she would need to do everything before hand. No problem. The problem was her professionalism. If she told my fiancé she would meet him at 4-ish PM, to drop off samples, she wouldn't inform him that she moved it to 6:30PM until he asked if 4 was still okay. That was the first strike, but we didn't think anything of it. But it kept happening. When he would set up a time to get the final sample (the one we would've ordered), but have to cancel her response was "thats ok, I'm at the lake anyway". Are you kidding me? Strike two. The last strike was when he scheduled with her to just pick up the sample one morning. When he texted her to check to see if the morning worked, she did not respond until later that day. We understand life happens, but with a time crunch we decided not to go with her because it was too iffy from the start. Now the next part is our fault. My fiancé forgot to tell her we do not need her services any longer. So after trying to get in contact with him since yesterday (I think?) she texted him how we were rude and yadda yadda. I'll leave the text my fiancé gave me. We understand life happens, but being professional is a standard that should be upheld. Or at least try. UPDATE: Not soon after I left this review she did not hesitate to contact my fiancé and leave a couple of nasty messages. Degrading me.. if I could upload the messages she is sending I would. I did not degrade you in any way ma'am. We were soon to be customer that changed due to the experience we unfortunately had. And the way you are speaking to my FIANCÉ, and about me speaks levels on your said maturity. Grown woman you say? Nice.

This is my FAVORITE stationary store in Austin. I happened to wander in after a central market…read moretrip. I am in love with the journal selection. I bought a Bruno Visconti journal and fell in love, came back and bought some more. Returned and they were sold out, the employee was so helpful and let me know I could put in a request for their buyer to order more. She filled out a request sheet and took my information so that they can call me when it comes in. But this is so much more than a place to buy journals. They have a huge pen selection, including some fancy ones. Their seasonal/holiday decor is always so unique and fun. They have a huge kids section and I will be popping in whenever I need a gift. AND stickers. They have a wall of a ton of stickers! They have a party section, greeting cards, gifts for adults and children, and they also make custom paper products like invitations + more. The selection is great, the prices are affordable and nothing feels overpriced, but what really sticks out here is the great staff. (I believe this is a locally owned- women owned business! More of this please!)

"This is a hug that looks a lot like a card."…read more Great cards like this are few and far between, but I find such treasures at the Paper Place more often than not. Reliably. I also find gorgeous paper goods for table settings made by Hester & Cook, journals by Leuchtturm that invite me to realize "writing by hand is thinking on paper." It is a joy to look at their gift wrapping paper, but this I eschew in favor of vintage silk and polyester scarves that I buy in lots online. This is a solid source of terrific picture frames, seasonal decorations, and amusements for kids, such as stickers and paper dolls. I don't believe I have ever walked out of the store empty-handed. Parking can be a bit of a challenge given the store proximity to Central Market.

If you need a break from the digital world you can browse around Kinokuniya and pick up a hobby…read more They have unique stationery, books, music, and toys you wouldn't find at Michaels, Target, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart. Originally we were just going visit just 99 Ranch. We didn't know they had a Kinokuniya in Austin so we checked it out. It's located in a strip mall with a bunch of other Asian businesses. I like Austin's layout better than their Portland, Oregon location. The Austin store is less chaotic than the Seattle location. That's partly because the Seattle Kinokuniya is near a public transit hub.

Kinokuniya Books is one of the coolest bookstores I have ever visited in Austin. Calling it a…read morebookstore is almost a misnomer...it is so much more. In addition to an incredible selection of Japanese and English-language books, the store is filled with stationery, art supplies, anime merchandise, pens, unique gifts, charms, and all kinds of fun gadgets. Wow, wow, wow! I was completely overwhelmed...in the best possible way. There was so much to see that I had to take three deep breaths, slow down, and explore one aisle at a time. Everywhere I turned, I discovered something new and interesting. I found myself just as captivated by the beautifully displayed merchandise as I was by the books. As soon as I walked in, a friendly staff member greeted me and asked if I was looking for anything in particular. When I replied, "No, I'm just browsing," she smiled and pointed out the store's main sections, making it easy to begin my adventure. Everything I looked at was reasonably priced. Fun, eclectic, non-standard bookstore...
