    Support brick and mortar art stores!! As an online sloth queen, deciding to wear pants and walk into Blick just made my whole weekend special. Everyone there is super helpful and probably an artist, I'm thinkin'. I walked in for Blackwing pencils and left with like 6lbs of stuff (we go by the pound right?) Gorgeous Stabilo pastel pencils, Arches watercolor paper, tiny canvases for mini paintings, the list goes on and on. Notable surprise was how many gifts there were, like the front of a book shoppe. So many beautiful papers from Italy and France. Endless good times. Keep them alive!!!

    1/7/23 it's not here either

    1/7/23 Was in the area & hubby was on the hunt for his Iron Gall ink. We were directed by staff at Vroman to check this place out for the ink. Why didn't we just call ahead instead walking over a good 15 minutes? Not sure. Long story short, we were here about 3 minutes, hubby asks if they carry the said ink, "No?" Okay we're outta here. I barely had enough time to browse or take photos of the cool things they had. We walked out & I walked into I Like Pie next door--what a nice find! One of my bookmarked places! Love it! Maybe we'll explore this place another time! Great customer service though!

    Alright, the fact that the store's website is dickblick.com kinda made me do a 180. Thought it was a bait link leading me somewhere sus, it's not though lol! I'm not an art person by any means, so we mostly went to this shop for someone who is an artist within our friend group. Aisles are denoted by signs at the top for what supplies they have and each sign is artwork done by staff I'm sure with the medium for that aisle, which I think is pretty neat! Along the walls are also pieces of art to look at and an upstairs as well. They have their own line of art supplies along with some well-known, well-loved brands. The store mainly focuses on art supplies for 2D styles, but there is an aisle for sculpture making. There's something for every level artist here from children to hobbyists to people who want something therapeutic to do and to the true professionals. There's also a clearance section at the side of the shop and some art themed and random neat, humorous knick knacks in front. Staff is pretty helpful too. If you're an artist, it's worth taking a look at. I believe they have a newsletter/membership too.

I was looking for clear contact paper for some books and, while the store wasn't too busy, there certainly was a bit of activity. I had the chance to speak with a couple of employees, approaching them in the friendliest way, just to ask where I could find the clear contact paper and both had an attitude from the get-go. I wasn't gonna let that ruin my day, so I thanked them both (first one had an attitude and wasn't helpful, second one had an attitude, but at least pointed me in the right direction, lol). Once I finally landed in the clear contact paper section, the price just left me wishing for either better customer service or an alternative solution. Given that I wasn't getting the first thing, I went seeking for the second one at Target. Won't be back, lol.

    Our team had the pleasure of working with Love on Paper for the production of our "Springtime…read moreElegance" stylized shoot. We collaborated on the design of an invitation suite and were absolutely amazed at the reveal. Although our team had a distinct vision, we were confident in relinquishing full creative control to Love on Paper. Not only was Love on Paper able to create an invitation suite which directly reflected our vision, but it also represented their style and pristine attention to detail. Our team has admired the works of Love on Paper for quite some time and were beyond elated when they agreed to be a creative partner. Our excitement was a direct result of knowing their team would contribute exceptional service and a timeless custom creation. All of which we wanted for this particular shoot. While collaborating with Andaleeb and the Love on Paper team, we were able to get a true feel for their creative genius and sense of commitment to our vision. We were constantly met with a friendly and personable level of service which speaks volumes to the attention and quality of service their clientele surely receives. Andaleeb and the Love on Paper team were extremely professional and communicated all thoughts and ideas throughly and in a timely manner. Our team was never left with an impression of uncertainty and were genuinely excited about the direction of the design. We highly recommend Andaleeb and the Love on Paper team for your stationery needs!

I know what you are thinking, "That's a lot in one card." We looked at companies in India and local to Southern California. We knew what we wanted but felt it shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Then we found Love On Paper. A brilliant company with a simple, but excellent model: Gorgeous, upscale cards that are templates enabling you to customize color and packaging while keeping the price low and turnaround time fast. We worked with Bippan who was earnest, very responsive and an amazing designer. She walked us through all the styles and helped us with our color choices. We did most of designing over Christmas and New Years holiday week and she always responded in timely manner. Our cards delivered on time, roughly 4 weeks after our design was finalized. The cards were high-end, beautiful shine on the paper, and exactly what we envisioned. They were so good that my parents wanted extra to share with other people. Bippan provided fast turnaround on extra cards without hesitation. Please check their website and please contact Bippan. You will not regret it!

    Such a cute spot!…read more We went in on a Monday evening as a walk in. They took us immediately and explained the rules for creating your own phone case and jewelry case. There's a huge selection of unlimited charms and icing colors to choose from. But warning!! Don't grab too many charms because whatever you don't use, you have to put it back. The table stations have all the tools you need to decorate your items from tweezers, glue, scissors, etc. The employees are super sweet. They showed us a demo and assisted us in putting our charms back. The parking was easy and cheap. There's a del mar parking lot right around the corner across the street from the gas station. We'll definitely come back to make our own plushies next time.

I made reservations online after seeing it on Instagram and thought it would be fun to take my daughter because this is totally up her alley. We went on a Saturday evening and spent 2 hours here. The crafts she did was a hair claw, ipad/phone holder, cake looking note pad, and I did hair clips. I love how organized everything is and how detailed the staff is in answering all of the questions we had. However, I do have to say that everything adds up quickly. It is pricey so this cannot be an activity we can do often. Definitely a once in awhile type of thing. My daughter was such a happy camper and cannot wait to return. They email you instructions on where to park as parking is about a block away. But it was super easy to follow and understand. I would definitely recommend this spot and could see myself coming back with my daughter again. 2 thumbs up from us! Tips: *Reserve online *Takes credit card *They have a rewards program, make sure to join. *Staff spoke English/Chinese *Restroom is available *Parking offsite *They have more than one location. *You can host parties here.

We each found images of what we wanted to create online and were able to trace it onto the canvas. Since it was our first time, we all opted for the small canvas but in retrospect, maybe the medium size would've been easier as the tufting gun is harder to maneuver in smaller sections. The staff was very helpful in providing instructions and staying close by as we worked on our projects. Once we were done, we left our mini rugs to be picked up another day since the staff would put the backing on for us and clean up any loose ends and such.

Initial Impression: I have heard of Lumee before due to its previous locations, but I never had the chance to visit. I just so happened to have extra time in Pasadena so couldn't resist stopping in. This shop in Arcade Lane opened recently and it is situated in a cozy area near Urth Cafe. It is bright, colorful, and hard to miss. The perfect place to draw in lovers of all things Kawaii. Service: the shops man is the absolute sweetest and not only took time to explain the concept of the shop, but he also showed all the artwork and some of his own work! The Mahjong bag is so impressive! Lumee offers tufting for carpets and supplies the tools. They also offer decoden cases, trinkets, hair clips, bags, and more! Locations have a variety of different experiences so check ahead! Overall: I was able to make a trinket for around $8! It can also be upgraded to a magnet and you can walk-in if you want to! They offer group experiences as well, and I think it would be cute for a date too. I really can't want to go again!
