They also have classes in arts and crafts and the occasional community get together. I have donated arts and craft materials, toys, games, puzzles and other miscellany. We recently took a pickup load to the new location but have not seen the inside of the new place yet. We were told it's much larger and still in need of donations. Go to their web site and set up a time to take some items they could use. You will not be disappointed. They are doing great things and have a great group of volunteers.

They have a small but mighty variety of items, including home decor, purses, jewelry, cards and much more. You can tell everything in the store is uniquely curated. I found some brands I really love that I hadn't seen in a few years. Last but not least, the employee working at the store was kind and walked us through some of the items they carry. Overall, a really beautiful shopping experience.

The atmosphere is relaxed with upbeat music playing in the background. Esther mentioned upcoming workshops that will take place next door.

You will be cooking as a community, so you won't directly get to make every dish but you'll certainly be able to participate and engage.

I went alone but it'd make a great date night or friend date. You can be as involved in the cooking as you want to be or you can kick back and relax, have some wine and watch others take control. Leave your readers at home since everything is prepped and measured! Met so many nice people (there were 11 of us). Plenty of room. They validate parking inside! Easy to find. Lots of other fun stuff going on in that part of town. I wish I would have brought a Tupperware though because I couldn't finish it all! Can't wait to try out my new recipes at home.

I have made my husband and son beautiful tigers eye and onyx bracelets that were less than $20-labor and supplies included. Today I drove from Rockwall for some clasps and rings for some of my silver pieces that needed repair. I got lucky and was able to have the repairs done on the spot, as there were no customers in the store. I love this place and will continue to come here when I want to make bracelets for gifts.

I chatted w a nice lady in line, she said, they no longer have 20% off coupons. She said, it's been like that since COVID? Who knew. Also, they have Restrooms in the corner of the store.
