I went to United Arts And Education because since Slime is a trend I needed some glue! And some paint to color it. So I went there with my mom found the section and boy was there tons of glue!

I am not a teacher, but my wife is, and this is her 'go-to' store for teacher supplies…read more She sent me here last weekend to get a few things laminated, and the people working the front are were so very nice. I had to remove several staples out of some things before running them through the machine and they couldn't find a staple remover, so the manager left and magically reappeared with one that we could use! Lots of different things in here also...all nicely arranged in 'teacher' categories. I also asked someone else where I could find stopwatches, not really thinking that they would have them, but she politely guided me to the spot where they were. Great store...thanks for the years of service to Ft. Wayne!

UPDATE - They were back to a full-service bead shop as of November 2014. Really glad I hit the…read more"Going out of business - Not really" sale. Upgraded the prices to Moderate. ---- I come up here regularly to visit in-laws. I really wish I'd known this place was a bead shop. I only ever looked at the name and based on that, thought it was an art gallery. At any rate, it is at the time of this writing, in the throes of a retirement sale and there are all sorts of beads and beading supplies and jewellery going at ridiculous prices. And - mirabile dictu - the owner is selling off much of her fabric stock at prices that actually made me feel a little weak at the knees. Get over there while it is still there and be glad I decided to be fiscally prudent while I was in there.

Stoner's Funstore: No, it's not a dispensary. Let's just get that out of the way at the jump. In…read morecase you forgot: You're in Indiana, baby! Stoner's Funstore is a costume and gag gift shop. Apparently, this is THE place to rent and buy costumes in Fort Wayne. They've been operating in the city since 1949! It's also the place to buy fake poop, fake barf, fake teeth, fake mustaches, fake hair and fake Spam. (The fake Spam is actually a decoy secret safe.) They also sell lots of silly gifts, corny mugs, cringey t-shirts, ironic greeting cards, and a lot of Marvel things, for some reason. Stoner's has three rooms of "things that you didn't know you needed but can't live without," according to the delightful woman who works here. She literally said that while standing behind the counter, and I immediately and covertly wrote it down in the notes section of my phone because it was so great. This same woman convinced me to try on a dress from the costume section that looked like it had the Eye of Sauron on it and was $3, because she said, "You're so small, you could fit into this costume and wear it for real." I mean, if an older woman who works in a costume shop called Stoner's Funstore says that you're small and would look good in an Eye of Sauron dress that used to be a costume, you try on the dress. Unfortunately, the proportions were all wrong, so I had to put the dress back on the rack. The vibe at Stoner's is cool and laid back, the people who work here are friendly and helpful, and the store is centrally located in downtown Fort Wayne, with lots of parking, which is a rarity for downtown Fort Wayne. This is a good place to visit if you're looking for a silly gift or costume for Halloween, or any time, really.

The staff member I encountered was both gracious and courteous. They carry a wide range of merchandise with no particular rhyme or reason, but it all flows, seamlessly. I loved the energy and vibe of the store. There is street parking on either side of the street. I purchased a tshirt on this visit and declared I'd be back to look around and shop again. Perhaps the most notable thing about the boutique store, there is a food pantry donation center located just outside the front entrance. Stop in, if you can, and bring a canned good or 2 if you can spare it.

For those with little kids, this shop also has a fun section of kids toys and clothes. It's also perfect for those looking for a gift for a little one. I picked up some stickers for my niece during my visit. It's obvious the owner of this shop has taken great care to curate fun pieces for her clientele.

After speaking to the sales lady about her and me wanting to add to the box, she walked throughout the store with me and helped me pick out the perfect things to add to make it perfect.

It was such a positive experience that I know other stores would not have provided us and the box came out better than we could have even imagined. Thank you!

Through the years she has painted me many things and I love seeing how her skills have gotten so good and her creativity has bloomed. Parking lot is shaheed with other business' and can fill up quickly. If you want to paint on a weekend call early and make your reservations. If not there don't be spots ope day off you want to paint. From there you'll arrive to find the friendliest most helpful staff around. You'll also see how organized the business is ran, how clean it is inside and how they go out of their way to make the time you're there special. They go over everything you need to know if you're a first timer and if you're a frequent flier they let you go wild with your ideas. The price of the piece you choose includes everything. But so be careful pretty soon you've spent $100!! It's well worth it. You walk away with a piece that you'll have forever. I strongly recommend you go to the female locally owned business. Great for parties, date nights alone time and to take your kiddos. Dads even go too! Let your creativity run free in this establishment. You'll love it.
