I visited this art center for the first time today. It was clean, it was designed well, and it was…read moreinteresting. They had many pieces of interesting paintings that were quite pricey. Additionally, they had things made of wood such as turned bowls and clever utensils. They had some beautiful ornaments, made out of ceramic, I bought one of those. It was $50. They had plates and platters and more things than I can name here. They even had jewelry. It's all handmade and beautiful. I look forward to coming back and buying some Christmas gifts. In addition to the art portion of the business, there is a workshop section where people can go to classes and learn ceramics or painting and other things. The woman who was working was very helpful and kind. I look forward to frequency this gallery regularly.

Quite a fun large crafts fair put on every year by Hillcrest Baptist Church on the last weekend of…read moreOctober. It's free and it's one of the earliest arts & crafts shows in the area, so you can get a jump on your holiday shopping. Walking in any of the entrances, you will be greeted by a friendly older lady sitting at an information desk who will be happy to answer any questions and hand you a colorful booklet with maps, listing and locations of vendors, and the church's ministries information. Over 80 vendors' booths fill the large and small rooms of this spacious church. Visitors are guided from one room to the next, along a well defined path. All kinds of vendors fill the rooms; unique jewelry makers, handsewn dresses, aprons, kitchen towels, home decor knick-knacks, canned jellies and pickles, and Austin-original items like birdfeeders made from colorful dishes. Some of the items' styling is up-to-date; others are very traditional. Not everything is handmade, and there are a few resellers such as Tupperware, cosmetics, or The Pampered Chef, but they don't overwhelm the feeling of the fair. This year I found cute travel pillowcases and wooden wall art. There's likely something for everyone on your list here. Prices range from reasonable to a downright bargain. In the center of the church is the gym which has several aisles of vendors as well as food for sale. Hillcrest has a large kitchen in the gym which is run by adults but cashiered by the youth group. "Margaret's Chocolate Cake" here is LEGENDARY (with or without nuts). It's a must have; the cake is moist, delicious and flavorful and it rivals any restaurant. You can pre-order a whole cake on their restaurant. They also offer enchilada dinners (not so great), chicken croissant sandwiches and other foods. There's a dining room set up around the corner. It's a fun, family atmosphere. The youth group also helps the vendors set up and tear down their booths. Well done, Hillcrest! They HAVE been operating for 24 years so they know how to do it.

While planning a bridal tea for a dear friend and quickly discovered the options for affordable…read morevenues is very limited. After a lot of searching, I found The Kitchen House. I live in Cedar Park so it was close to my house. There is the perfect amount of space and the space was ideal for setting up the food and having places for everyone to talk and eat. I hired a catering company to provide the tea service; they provided almost everything needed for an amazing tea but we were able to use some of the Kitchen House's dishes and supplies to fill in the few items we needed. The space was generous in size; parking was free and there was plenty of parking. The space is light and airy; the bathroom is spotlessly clean. My guests and the catering staff were raving about how great the venue was. The rental process was very easy and the rates very reasonable. I would be very happy to rent this space in the future for other events.

My son had wanted to take a cooking class for years, but moving/covid/life issues stopped us from…read morefinding one. This year I made it happen and tried Kitchen House for both my kids. They really enjoyed it, came home each day with big smiles and a lot of enthusiasm. My daughter saved the food she prepared to bring me a little light lunch (which was actually quite delicious) and my son devoured all of his. The main advantage of the class vs. training them myself is that KH is a dedicated teaching kitchen. They are equipped and staffed to show kids how to prepare many dishes over the course of a week, whereas I have the time, energy and ingredients to maybe teach them one thing. I'm glad we signed up for this and will be back next Summer for another class or two.

I have been in multiple times to have pieces framed or reframed that range from inexpensive local…read morepieces to notable masterworks and they never fail to disappoint! I happened on this place originally by happenstance and had a great conversation with the owner. She made me feel at ease bringing in a couple paintings to have framed that I had been putting off to avoid putting them in the hands of amateurs. Each piece is meticulously stored until ready to work with it and looks immaculate upon pick up. The entire staff are great and patient and the prices fair, particularly for the caliber of work they do. I can't recommend this place to enough people. Oh, and they have a really interesting and eclectic offering of local pieces for sale to. This place is always worth stopping by.

I came here late Sunday afternoon for a tarot and vision board event. The event lasted two hours…read moreand was a lot of fun. They offer various events throughout the month, including soap making! This is a cool shop with many crafting supplies, including stamps, magazines, hot glue, etc. I am not a super crafty person, but it did not matter. One can easily create a vision board. Plenty of parking is available and near a few places to grab a bite to eat or do additional shopping.

I took the Intro to Blockprinting class this past weekend and overall, it was fun. I have been…read morelooking into picking up a new hobby or get into more craftin' to get in touch with my creative side. The class was $42 from 10:30a to noon. It is an open space with all sorts of art supplies, tools, and just about anything your imagination can muster up. Lots of inspiration. I was hoping to make more than just one small block and have different supplies like fabric for printing. It was very therapeutic to carve my small block. The class felt a little scattered - but it was a very easy going environment, super relaxed. Our instructor was friendly and encouraged us to tap into originality without overthinking it instead of looking up patterns or inspo on our phone. I really liked that. And she offered us all coffee, freshly made. You can basically come in to do all the arts and craft your heart desires, on a donation basis. Affordable and unique way to release your artistic side without investing too much in all the supplies and then an abandoning a hobby. I'd come back with a friend and check out a different class.

I went to the store for the first time today. It's a retro toy store on 8th Street in the Square…read more Upon entering the store I was so wonderfully amazed. I was not expecting this store to be so awesome. They have things from 60s 70s 80s 90s etc. They had Rockem-Sockem Robots! They had care bears, they had Dr. Seuss books, they had OG trolls (I got three of these!). They had pinball machines. They had slinky. They had the magic eight ball. They just had too many things for me to mention, and all of them were amazing! I wish I had known about this store last Christmas-- Good thing there's next Christmas :) Their prices are quite affordable. The little trolls were a 1.50. The Dr. Seuss book was $9.99. The care Bear was $13. They have so many wonderful product products and they are displayed beautifully. It's a fun place just to walk around and look! I highly recommend you visit. The service was really good by the way. The sales clerk allowed us to walk-through and didn't pester us. However, when I asked her about things, she was very enthusiastic and she knew about the products. I appreciated that. I highly recommend you visit!
