i've been here twice and honestly will probably never be back. the first time was very neutral, the…read morewomen working were kinda just like oh a person and left me alone. no problem with that, id rather people be neutral than anything. the selection is kinda ? large but not super diverse if that makes sense, at least for yarn. also a bit old, but i don't mind. found some nice discontinued yarn cheaper than it costs currently! the reason i probably will not be back is the last time, when i walked in whoever was at the register just gave me a look like i ruined her entire day because i exist. it just kinda put me on edge and started making the store feel cramped and like i really just needed to leave, grabbed some needles and a crochet hook i needed and when i went to pay the woman at the register just. had such an evil look on her face any time she looked at me. when i paid she made sure to hand my change back by sitting it on the counter over to the side and did the same with my items despite me reaching for them? the only thing i said to her was hi how are you when i entered. i just found that odd, any time i've done things like that as a cashier was with an unruly customer as my way of being petty. when i use these needles i just think of how i felt so uncomfortable i was literally shaking. there's literally no reason for that, it's a craft store. i get that's a common theme in craft stores but jesus christ, this is why i unfortunately purchase online mostly rather than supporting my local stores.

One of my all time favorite places to hangout or to have a date night! When I first heard about…read morethis place from my friend, I was a bit worried because... well let's just say I don't exactly have the best green thumb. But each terrarium comes with a handy care guide and if it's your first time or if you have questions the owner walks you through the different plants and whether an open or closed container may be best for you! 6 months later after my first visit and my plants are still going strong. Additionally, this place also has a very calming presence and me and my friends were able to get a small coffee to drink whilst making our terrariums. There is a wide selection of different and miscellaneous items you can choose to include outside of plants. My favorite were the rocks and crystals obviously. Who doesn't love a lil sparkle? Each time I've went it's typically about an hour to an hour and a half experience totaling around 45 dollars. But that depends on what extra items you get. Overall, this is one of my favorite places to visit and the number one hangout spot I suggest to people when they come to Dayton.

What a way to spend a cloudy day in early March downtown Dayton, OH! My wife and I stopped by Now &…read moreZen to kick off the upcoming spring season on a random Saturday afternoon. Nothing is more soothing than the creative process of building tranquility with a plentiful selection of air plants, succulents, and various accent pieces Parking was a little tight given it's on a main avenue located in the city, however, if you go on the weekend parking is at least free. The beautiful storefront was easily accessible from 3rd street and the initial environment was warm and welcoming. Hats off to Paula and Aaliyah for honoring our appointment time and quickly getting us seated with a thorough overview of what we were about to embark on After we were presented with the instructions, the journey began by going through all the various plants, accent pieces, and substrates to build our masterpiece. Overall, I highly recommend to anyone who wants a getaway from the stresses of society to stop in and build their own Zen garden. You can purchase pre-made arrangements or you can dibble and dabble to build your own. I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to support local!
