I'll still be shopping there because FOH people have always been so kind and amazing, but idk about donating because I really don't want to experience that again. Didn't get her name, but whoever was doing the donations in the back at 1pm today needed a break or something. She rolled her eyes, only spoke like two words to me and my partner, threw the bags down aggressively, and her overall attitude was not pleasant to encounter.

I moved to Eugene and was thinking wouldn't it be great if Eugene had such a place, and lo and behold, MECCA! It's like Seattle ReCreative but 10+ times larger! Paint, canvas, paper, folios, yarn, fabric remnants, yogurt tubs, wine bottles, plant pots, scrapbook papers, so much fun stuff to get you thinking creativity on a budget. My only suggestion is they might find a way to fill in the huge puddle right in front of their door, and that they somehow get more parking spaces!

When we walked in we were greeted by Dana who was absolutely amazing at explaining the process to us. There was a ton of different items to choose from to start painting and lots of colors to choose. We had such a fun time together as a family and we cannot wait to come back again! Dana who was working was super nice, extremely kind, and patient with our young son! He made the experience that much better. I recommend 100% for a fun family time, date night, or even just alone time therapy painting.

More than slightly irritating was a situation that potters quarter could have at least contained the overly loud adults. We had a nice chill and creative time planned with the grandkids. It when we arrived it was chaos. There was a young elementary girls party going on that had food, drinks and many screaming girls. When something was funny the parents were loudest! It's like the rented the whole place for themselves to be as wild as they wanted with no courtesy for others - except for the fact that they didn't. I'm not a party pooper. I'm not a buzz kill. I'm totally glad we get back to real life and some def fun- for everyone! So let's still be polite. Let's still be aware of our surroundings. Let's respect the others in the room ! What about indoor voices ? What about "read the room"? Oh no , you couldn't do that because you were all acting like you were at a park ! When I say screams and outlandish laughs it was over the top ! Never mind I had someone with me that's slightly on the spectrum. So we are clearly more than just irritating everyone. It's completely besides that because this wasn't even just a normal delightful squeals that is usually just enough to make you smile if you delight in several children in a good mood! Yeah I said I wasn't a cranky old woman! But really ???? One, next time rent out the whole place. Two, if you can't then know that others are also trying to have fun too. Three, why would you purposely be that Karen? And Karen's kids that will turn into the Karen because Karen don't k ow any better to do better. Sad.

I just moved to Eugene and wouldn't you know, the string broke again, so I checked Yelp and found Harlequin. What a nice store and what friendly service. The job was done within a couple of days (I think I got lucky) and the price was fair. When I returned to pick them up, I bought a necklace for my daughter and some supplies so my granddaughter could make a bracelet. Great experience all around.

So when I found out they could help me with jewelry repair I was very excited!! I had been looking forever for help. Staff are ALWAYS very Nice! They are always accommodating and they do beautiful work. In the past I had been turned down from Jewelers because while my metal is not 100% gold. I do have genuine gemstones and a lot of silver. That is why I'm so excited I found Harlequin. They are more than happy to help out, give suggestions and their turnaround time is exceptional. I would highly recommend Harlequin as a place for beads, classes and repairs.

We have been calling the store for a week to set up a private class for glass fusing. We know we…read moreneed to speak to Patricia for this and have left MULTIPLE messages for her to call us back. This was for a special birthday and it's all we wanted to do. Needless to say, we never got a call back, so we were not able to fulfill the birthday wish. The birthday girl and I am severely disappointed, sad and now angry. This is not the experience we wanted or expected. We were in the store six months ago and everyone was falling all over themselves to set up a private class. This isn't how you run a business, it's not how you treat customers, and it's certainly not how you stay in business. The business owner, Cindy, saw my review and said they do not have the staff to offer private classes. Then continued to say to check the website for a form that has info on private events. So which is it? Either you do or you don't. It doesn't matter because they've lost our business and we are now spreading the word to avoid this place because the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. We did get two call backs by the way, one guy told us we needed to talk to Priscilla (who never called us back or would come to the phone) and the other said she taught those classes but wouldn't be available the day we wanted.

It was a Saturday night, so I expected the studio to be a bit chaotic, but there is plenty of room! There were about 16 of us, and still room for other customers and families to come and go without anyone feeling as if they were in the way, or insufficient supplies. Made By You staff is super accommodating. Our group got to listen to our own playlist over the speaker system, bring our own snacks and wine, and spread out comfortably. There were plenty of supplies, and staff was very hospitable. I would recommend Made By You to anyone looking for a fun group activity. The only note I would caution for those interested, is be prepared for higher prices. There is a range of options and budget friendly pieces to paint, but larger, more practical items are a bit higher in price. Not a big deal to me considering the studio is clean, well maintained, and high quality materials. Thank you Made By You for a great night, I will be returning!

I am easily distracted by bright and shiny things, so naturally this place caught my attention and…read moreI stopped in with my husband. We were greeted by another customer originally. I found this odd, given she was just sort of standing there with a bag and her purse, yet asking if we were looking for anything specific. Sooner or later a real employee came in. I'm presuming she stepped out to use the little girl's room or something. This store is packed full, and I mean full of stuff. There's some clothing, scarves, and leggings. There's every possible button you could ever want in your lifetime in here. Same goes with thread and ribbon. If you can't find what you're looking for in here, I highly doubt it exists. The store is easily filled with just 5 or 6 people because there is so much product crammed in here. The funny thing is even with so much product in such a tiny space, it is incredibly well organized. This is one of those places where if you're carrying a decent sized purse, turn around too fast, or are just a bit clumsy, it's pretty much guaranteed that you're going to crash into something. I found a hilarious pair of socks in here for my father in-law yesterday and went to buy them. As we're chatting with the employee, I grab ahold of my husband because he's about to run into a shelf. I can just see things spilling everywhere in my head and the mess he's going to create. As I'm trying to prevent what I think is less than a second away from becoming utter chaos, the employee reassured us that even working in the store and knowing where everything is, she still bumps shelves or runs into things almost daily. This simple warm reassurance relaxed me because I was nervous about being in such a small place and accidentally creating a huge mess for someone else to clean up. It's like going to someone's house and you're afraid to sit on any of the furniture kind of feeling. Not here. It's the relaxed, it happens kind of approach. Which is really what made it memorable to me. I heard another customer ask for a specific employee who had just left shortly before that. The customer wanted this employee because she could always find the customer the perfect buttons. If you ever find someone who has a knack for finding you exactly what you want when you're not even sure what that is, stalk them! Lol. That is a whole other level of customer service. But that also told me what kind of store this is, and that attention to details is a big deal to them. Would I return? Absolutely. It's a great store with a ton of products and incredible selection. The customer service is wonderful, warm, and welcoming. I certainly don't look like the kind of person who has crafting hobbies, and I only bought socks during my initial visit. Yet I was treated like I'd been in a thousand times and they knew me. I like that, and it is exactly why I will return when it's time to start a new craft project.
