With a studio space right on Fulton, it can be easy to miss when walking by. However, once inside, it's a very roomy space! The decor is super cute, there's tons of plants, and the artwork for sale is all handmade (I didn't get pictures of all of it). I even got a sticker for stopping by. Christine also has yoga classes on certain days with payment options that best suit your budget (and I think there's a monthly option as well). There are a few chairs and a couch for lounging, and the staff member that I talked to was super sweet! Definitely a great hangout area or even just for a quick stop by to check everything out!

I will definitely be taking another class again!

I came here with the kids to explore some unique beads and perhaps make a necklace. The owner, Stephanie, was so cordial, patient, and hands-on as she guided us through making one-of-a kind creations. She helped them with the proper tools, findings, and assisted in adding in the clasps. This place is for sure worth visiting, either to create something of your own, or purchase a creation made already. Just a lovely business, and a calming atmosphere. I really was very grateful to Stephanie, she takes customer service and friendliness to a whole new level! Well done!

The gift included a dessert of choice from the B&N cafe and the another was a free kids craft from Paper Source. I was at B&N and asked the lady at the register where I can find this place and how I can get her gift. She said it was at located at Fig Garden Village. Later, I took a trip with my daughter to this place. Saw so many beautiful wrappings, stationary items and countless cards. I browsed around the store and also found some really nice gift-able items. I ended up buying a hermonica for my daughter and had mentioned the free gift during check out. The lady who helped was kind and put together the crafts it was basically sheets of paper that can be colored. There was a variety and said that they had crayons if we wanted to stay and color it. Just decided to take it homes and she added a few stickers for her and my daughter loves stickers so she was excited. Most of the items here are priced high but It's nice to know that as a B&N premium member you get 10% off almost everything in Paper Source stores.

Fabric area employee and customer were talking about how they think other areas in town and the…read morepeople in those areas are g*etto and poor and full of non English speaking people. This conversation topic was extremely discourteous from both these people however very unprofessional from the employee. After about 10-15 min in line, I expressed concerns to the employee about about long wait time ( I made no comments about their inappropriate conversation). The customer decided to insert herself into the conversation. She said " this is why I don't like you people" ( I am Asian). Though I was at the store at opening at 9 am, this customer decided to try and give me the profound advice of getting to the store earlier. She stated "You should have come shopping earlier to avoid lines instead of being a B word." I don't expect a minimum wage employee to be inclined to deal with this but she could have called a manager or just offered to call for assistance. I did not feel comfortable being harassed by a repulsive, angry woman so I left. Fabric cutters were Terri Linn and Andr-a per Hobby Lobby manager. Customer service supervisor believes Terri Linn is the employee I had the most interaction with. Manager Linda states she can speak with employee but do nothing about the customer. I understand a manager only can say so much but to do NOTHING is ridiculous. If I went into Target and started harassing other customers and stating racist comments on top of calling other customers the B word, I am pretty sure someone would speak to me about it or tell me to leave if I do not calm down. Per Hobby Lobby website: "Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles. Serving our employees and their families by establishing a work environment and company policies that build character, strengthen individuals, and nurture families." Hobby Lobby on Blackstone certainly does not adhere to these values. Some of the employees really need more education on basic culture studies. It's not hard, do your job, be professional and for the customer, mind your own business. She seemed to have a lot of struggles physically and mentally so pick a struggle and work on it.

I even enjoy the baking aisle because I do get in my baking moods! I'll buy pretty sprinkles and cupcake liners and cake accessories here. Even though this place gets super busy, I always find a parking spot quickly and it's very easy to navigate the aisles, it does not feel claustrophobic or too narrow. Lots of floor staff so if any questions arise, you're taken care of. They have amazing sales as well especially in between transitioning seasons. It's a very relaxing environment with soft music playing. They have a fabric area which is pretty vast and they have a lot of items here your crafts and project needs. It's always a treat to come here. But beware, you might fill up your cart with things that you don't necessarily need so, yes will power is of the essence here!
