There was an event going on - food when I walked in was a dead giveaway. The store itself isn't very big but there were about 10 people looking at fountain pens. I couldn't even look since people were at the counter. For me, customer service is everything and no one working acknowledged me, not even to say hi. I know you may be busy but if you have a customer that just walked in, say hi. I looked around and found they had field notes so I looked at those for a bit and then my eyes wandered over to the hobinichis. I have never seen a hobinichi in person before so it was nice to get a sense of the size. I looked around at the pelikans and other fountain pens but there were alot of people so I left. I may be back when there isn't an event.

I called the shop earlier in the day and spoke to Phil, he gave me a great initial impression, very friendly and told me they're on the 2nd floor of the quadrant and can be a bit difficult to find. He also advised a flood had occurred, they're still open and operational, but if the hallways look weird, don't be alarmed. Lol I highly recommend doing a quick Google search on the map to see the general idea of where to go. Once parked at the double tree, simply walk to the left of the building, you'll see a sign for events meeting place and a sign for a radio station, go past the station for the 2nd door and you'll find a set of stairs. Once you go up the stairs, walk down the hall and it should be the first door on the right. Suite #215 The reason for my visit was to get a second opinion on my uncle's stamps. I received them about 20 years ago and they'd been sitting in bags in storage ever since. Trying to navigate eBay with coins or stamps is a whole nother ballpark and figured I should go to the best! As expected, the collection isn't really worth more than $25 for about the 2700 ish cancelled stamps. But it was nice to have Phil recognize that I was the one that called, treat the album well, and give me an honest answer. While I was at the shop, I believe his son, Victor walked in and apologized in regards to the album being of low value. We also had a great conversation on other collectibles, such as Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, Sports cards, video games and the like. I've been searching for ages for a shop or at least someone willing to allow me to bring in the 3-4 monster boxes of sports cards I have. I got a firm "bring them in, we'll take a look". Today's venture wasn't just about getting an appraisal for my stamps, it was more about, where can I go for future guidance with collectibles. Compared to my recent visit with Maryland Stamps and Coins (Bethesda), Geezer's Tweezers is absolutely what I was looking for. I 1000% recommend this business and will be looking forward to my next visit! Thank you so much Phil and Victor for the pleasant experience!

I signed up for a two hour private in-person spinning lesson to learn how to use my wheel. On the website it explicitly says "Topics with spindles OR spinning wheels can be tackled in private lessons. Beginning spinning lessons on a spindle OR wheel should be booked for a 2 hour duration" They don't allow you to leave a comment on the website (you "buy" the lessons as if they were an object) and each person teaches multiple things. I booked two hours and thought they would follow up to see what I was hoping to learn. They did not so a few days later I called to tell them my goal for the two hours - a beginner lesson for spinning on my new wheel. They seem surprised I had even blocked the times which was a little red flag I wish I hadn't ignored. I was asked if I had a drop spindle. I said I did but I wasn't interested in using it. I was told that I have to learn the drop spindle first and they would have one for me to use if they didn't like mine and to bring my wheel. We spent the whole time on the drop spindle which I had no interest in and didn't find it very enjoyable. The staff member said I seemed "tired" and was "making mistakes" and cut the lesson short. They refunded me the money for the time (about 40 minutes) we didn't use which basically covered the cost of the drop spindle they had me buy. I thought we'd use the spindle to get some visuals and then move on but we did not. Why couldn't we have spent the last 40 minutes on my wheel? It was clear she wanted me to leave when she decided we were done with the drop spindle. I asked about paying for more time another day and getting on the wheel I was told "you could always do that if you want" but it didn't seem like that would be welcome. She tightened up something on my wheel and briefly spun on my wheel herself for about a minute without instruction and then I left. I got a few good tips (one was where to get a sandwich-Caffe Di Roma--which really was good), they sold me some better fiber to spin than what I already had but I still don't know how to drop spindle well or use my wheel at all. I wouldn't say they were rude exactly but they weren't very friendly and I felt like I was being condescended to a lot during the lesson. I tried to be cheerful and pleasant but the overall vibe was dismissive and again, I never got to do what I actually signed up to do. The whole vibe was weird. The instructor and another woman (the owner? manager?) talked over me and around me quite a bit about my wheel and other things rather than actually asking me a question or listening. There was some lint on my wheel and they really fixated on it, thinking it was bugs(?) instead of listening to me when I said it was from a cloth I was sent to use when I assembled and finished it myself. Then they were argumentative and said the spinning wheel's brand's wax didn't come with a cloth. Okay, maybe it doesn't but I didn't buy the brand's overpriced wax and never said I did. It felt like they were trying for a "gotcha" moment like middle school girls do. I know what I used! They just didn't pay much attention to anything I said. I felt like I was an unwanted guest at someone's house, not someone paying for a lesson at a store. That said, there are few options even remotely locally so I took a chance. I regret it. You don't have to learn the drop spindle before learning on the wheel--it is very odd Cloverhill was so insistent I needed to when their own website says this isn't the case. Other places do not operate this way. I wish I had saved the money and took a real spinning wheel class anywhere else even if it meant driving 90 minutes to Philadelphia or Red Stone Glen. Just a FYI to save yourself some other disappointment, I see this store on "Black woman owned" yarn store lists occasionally and maybe it was at some point and their choice of logo on their house brand yarn (Tempting Ewe) might give that impression but that does not seem to be accurate or even reflective of any diversity of the staff. If you are in bind and near Catonsville for some reason, the store does have a lot of yarn and fiber as well as other fiber arts equipment that is difficult to find in person in the Baltimore metro. I would think that would be the main draw of this shop.
