Our fabrics vary from industrial outdoor to beautiful silk. We specialize in Vintage or Reproduction Fabrics, patterns, linens & a huge quantity of how to books.

We may be tiny but we will surprise you with the variety, quantity, quality and values you can find in our little store. Just a note: Please forgive me if I am not always there.

I needed some stuff in a pinch and came across Urge Palette. There are few other places to compare in the area, and their online photos made the place look resourceful. Took a small drive over and I'm glad I did. Elijah was manning the fort that day. He was not only a pleasant dude, but he obviously has experience with various media, and was helping me sort out a project I'm experimenting with. Not just knowledgeable though; he was very clear with his suggestions. With price gouging being a thing nowadays, I was actually surprised I walked out of there with some high quality art paper and some chemicals for just $20. And I saw they had some nice notebooks priced really well. I'll be prioritizing this place for similar purchases while I continue to attend CSUSB.

My friend has a cabin in Big Bear so when we went up last month, we found this gem of a place while…read morewalking around! It's a small store with an area for custom candle making where the owner, Chrystel, will walk you through the process of selecting scents and colors for your candle. Us girls were completely drawn to the premade soaps which resemble slices of colorful bread. They smelled HEAVENLY and there were a few diff scents on the shelves. Soaps were $5 each and at first I was a bit hesitant, but Chrystel told us that everything is hand-made with natural & extremely hydrating ingredients (ex. shea butter, etc... *I can't remember all the ones she listed as its been so long so I'll have to give an update next time*)!! Honestly, the soaps smell so nice that I ended up rationing my treasured soap slice. Luckily, my friend went up last week and picked me up another one!! From what my friend told me, the owner is super flexible and if we call in before we head up, she'll custom make lotions and things for you! Would make for cute customizable gifts as well!

I would like to try a class or two in the future! For the store itself: I was greeted right away and the sales associate (forgive me, I do not remember her name at the moment) made herself available for questions. Think of this store like a mini-locally-owned Hobby Lobby or Michael's (knick-knacks, seasonal decor, decor accents for the kitchen, living room, den, yard, etc.). Everything was organized, displays were easy to maneuver around (explored this store while wearing my napping 10-month old so ease of being able to move in a store while babywearing is a priority!) So yes I am impressed and will return again. If you need a gift or a craft I would recommend this place, especially if the larger craft stores are intimidating, your first time in a craft store and don't want to be overwhelmed, or are just curious--like I was). Looking forward to getting to know this store and tapping into some kreativity soon!
