It's great to have a store like this in the neighborhood. The folks there are always welcoming and helpful. The interior does look a little dark from the outside, so it may not be clear whether they're open or not, so they have a big sign in front when they are.

It's been a long time since I've been to Andersonville Galleria. It's a great concept, having…read morespaces for lots of different artists, stores, creators, and so on to sell there wares here on Clark Street. You'll find all kinds of stuff here: clothing, jewelry, artwork, food, and so on. There are two floors, a mezzanine level between the first and second floor, and then a little "loft" area above the second floor. One thing I really like about AG is that you aren't making individual purchases with each merchant; there's a single checkout at the very front of the store and then they sort it all out on the back end. The merchant stalls don't usually have the creator there unless they're restocking or maybe they're doing some sort of special event. There's a small changing room since there are several booths that have clothing. It can be a little cramped in here, so I'm not sure how easily someone with mobility issues/wheelchair users might be able to navigate it, but there is a lift (though I think it requires help from the staff to use). There's no parking dedicated to this business, so it's all street parking or you can use the bus, of course. And it's Andersonville, so parking goes really quickly unless you are here in the morning.

Daughter had recently discovered Hazel in Ravenswood and has been eager to introduce this lovely…read moregift store to me.  As the gift card that she purchased for Father's Day was super cute and unique, I was very interested to visit as well. One evening when we were given an estimated wait time of 30 minutes by Spacca Napoli for a patio table, we found that an excellent chance to visit Hazel, a mere 5-minute walk from the pizzeria. As soon as we walked inside Hazel, a friendly man behind the counter promptly greeted us.  I was impressed by the huge and well-curated collection of goods for all ages and styles.  Daughter was so excited to show me around as if it's her own store, lol.  On one wall was a huge display of greeting cards.  There were also jewelry, accessories, baby gifts, housewares, and gifts for men.  Prices were quite reasonable.  If you need a gift, there's really no excuse of not finding one to buy. We were there for 10 minutes having a great time browsing around, then my phone rang and I was told that our table was ready, so we hurried out without buying anything.  The friendly man behind the counter still politely said "thank you" to us! As now I read that they close at 7:00 pm during weekdays, I am even more impressed, because we actually stepped in the store 10 minutes before they closed, and they still welcomed us!  We will definitely be back!

There were a few things I considered purchasing, but decided against it after seeing the prices. I left empty handed because of this, but it was still fun sewing everything. I would visit again if I'm in the area. The only down sides were that the staff could be friendlier and I did have a moment of feeling watched and followed. They also allow pets, which I know is pretty typical in this area, but I'm not a fan of.

This is their second store, the first having been too small so they moved everything to this new storefront ... and it immediately became too small. There seems to always be a line outside ... especially on weekends ... but they have staff controlling entry to keep it from getting crazy-crowded inside. Interest in stationary/paper/notebooks seem to have had a resurgence lately ... and Paper and Pencil leads the way. If you are journaling ... you'll find just about everything you need in this one store. Pens, paper (and yes, pencils), note cards, stickers, journals, washi tape, folders, and on and on. Staff were routinely friendly and helpful. Now while it is a bit expensive in here for some items, you just can't replicate the pleasure of see/feel/touch, rather than ordering over Amazon. There is a crowd here for a reason ... do make your way here when in Andersonville. You'll be glad you did.
