First off, as a guy who appreciates art, antiquities, music, cultures, I was blown away with all the beauty in the store. I spoke with the owner on what I was looking for, she had many earrings, bracelets, necklaces, loose beads, it was kind of difficult what to pick because everything was so beautiful. The little dog greeter was great too, so sorry I forgot your names. I think this is a very special, almost sacred shop.

It pains me to write this review of what used to be one of my favorite stores. And I was a sad as…read moreanyone when I saw they had to close over a year ago due to a fire. And just as happy when they announced they'd found a new space and were planning to reopen. I have to say, having visited there a few times now, I'm pretty disappointed. The new space is still downtown, but a few blocks west of their previous location. Where parking was free at that spot, it's metered at this one. When I think of all the vacant retail spaces in town, many with parking lots or at least free street parking, it leaves me perplexed. And the new space itself is so incredibly small and disjointed. It's separated into multiple, small rooms. Their inventory is but a shadow of its former self. And the prices have gone up. Wayyyy up. Perhaps most perplexing is the complete lack of classroom space, which they'd gone to so much trouble to add in their own space. Combined all of this with semi-surly, N95'd employees and well... to put it simply...I don't see the appeal in returning here anytime soon. For now, I miss the old Ragfinery and hope they turn things around.

It was very fun to paint and all the tools are labels and easy to read. BUT the one thing they didn't have was pencils. Thats easy to get over though with how much fun it is to paint pottery!

Will definitely be back to paint more pottery

While they have a little of everything, this is not an exhaustive art supply store, nor does it pretend to be.

I love this store and visit it almost weekly. it's my feel good place to visit…read more The atmosphere is wonderful BUT I have one problem and that's the management. When you are a manager you should know when your busy times are and you should staff accordingly so that your checkout lines move quickly and smoothly. You should have at least 2 managers or shift leaders up front to help with any issues at the registers when you have at least 6 open. You also need to have enough cashiers to move the lines along. when you have only 2 registers open and you have 3-4 people in each line you need to call for another cashier. Your cashiers should be polite and say hello or how's your day going but they should not start an actual conversation that slows down the lines. I have seen many frustrated customers waiting in long lines, I am not the only one. It is important to keep those lines moving quickly so you keep your customers happy. I understand that without scan bars on the products that it is not as quick as a store with them but I believe that the cashiers should be taught to input a bit faster and cutting the conversations down while doing this would help so they can concentrate on the items being imputed. They can be polite (which they all are) but if they would just cut those conversations down it would really help. So to sum it all up I believe either the manager needs retraining or he/she needs to have regular meetings to instruct the cashiers how to help the lines move faster. Staffing during busy times is also very essential, enough at the registers and enough on the floor.

You can find decor for your home, walls, kitchen, or self here. They feature many different types of artists and cater to many different personal aesthetics. They also have classes where you can create some of your own art!

Look no further than Cresswell Boggs, which is practically across the street from Mallard Ice Cream, so after you are done dropping your hard earned cash at the ice cream store, take a walk over here! The stuff in the store has a lot of my favorite items by Fred, Lip Shit, Accoutrements, Douglas toys and other gag items. They've managed to assemble all the gag gifts (and some really nice ones too) under one roof. Be prepared to spend a lot of money here. The inflatable cat unicorn horn was $9.99 here and $6.99 at Archie McPhee in Seattle. But still, take into consideration that you are in a historical town and you don't have to look further than a few steps for everything zany (and not so zany). Parking is on the street and metered parking is free on weekends and holidays. I didn't know this and fed the parking meter money on a Saturday (3/25/17) until I saw the sticker on the meter. Doh! (if you see duplicate photos, pls ignore. It appears Yelp has stopped linking my previously updated photos to my new reviews)

If you have time to wander, this is a fantastic place for Getting ideas for so many organization/decorating/house projects! The staff was friendly and helpful. I should also mention, they do offer custom mats here but for this project, it was not worth the money (these are tiny photos and we will probably re frame new ones next year). They also can custom frame and mat your photos/artwork of Any size!

With that said for whatever reason I have had my due date set as the 13th and just found out that it's actually the 11th . Not sure if that's on me or that it was what it said on my first bill . Either way I talked to 4 people going up the ladder and not one of them was willing to even reverse 2 late fees out of 12 plus months . I will never shop with this company again or any company that isn't willing to try and help to keep a customer . They give 2 shits and their customer service is horrible . Being in the customer service industry for about 40 years I have never encountered a business like this. Also no where does it say that Michael's AKA Comenity Bank that their app is called Bread Financial which in itself is stupid . I have always called or gone onto Comenity.com to make payments yet never knowing this whole time that my actual due date was 2 days earlier asking that anyone who does not shop there or has similar problems please share this .
