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.

I have some beads my kids gave me 30 years ago, and periodically they need re-stringing. This means…read moreI have had them restrung all over America. 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.

If you sew, you know, a fabric store should be frequented and cherished! This little store has…read moreGutermann thread, Needles and a small but nice selection of fabrics. There was some beautiful Japanese cotton, lovely linens, very nice flannel- beautiful rayon, light denim. As I said, not a lot but I found two beautiful fabrics that I am excited to make some summer tops with. Get in there and help this small business stay open.

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.

The first and last time I was in Mindy's shop was just before Covid. It was awesome and as a…read moreneedlecraft person who also sews, it is sheer heaven. My youngest daughter lives in the area and I AM coming to visit her. But before I do I will be making a beeline to the shop to get my fix of everything I use and love.

Having heard so much about the evils of this place (I'm from Eugene, home to every Bored White…read moreSavior of Everything), I thought I'd see it for myself. I liked it. It struck me as "TJ Maxx meets fabrics & crafts", though with a notable overabundance of plastic flowers. Not sure what the deal was with that, but you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a faux carnation. Lots & lots of fairly interesting trinkets, including huge name-in-lights alphabet letters, decorative mangoes & cheese - now *that's* white - and my personal favorite: the shiny pillows. YOU MUST FONDLE THE SHINY PILLOWS. As for the apparent Christian nature of the chain, it didn't jump out at me in terms of merchandise apart from a selection of surprisingly beautiful crosses (relax, I'm a confirmed agnostic, and I'm not going to shit on someone's parade just to look "cool" for grouches). So why the less-than-perfect rating? Because the people there appear to be assholes. I expect little in the way of humanity from the ill-paid among us, but my one interaction was with an older woman who was openly glaring at me for asking a question... in precisely the same "get thee behind me" manner I received almost everywhere during my travels in Red States. (In case you missed the hint/reference, I'm saying that she was a bitch masquerading as an acolyte of Jesus) But apart from this stupidly contrary-to-Christianity-AND-capitalism attitude, it was a fine experience there. In fact, you'd probably have a hard time getting *any* of the employees to even acknowledge you at all, so no need to worry about forcible conversions or anything... ;)

I've been in this store, but went today and it's Sunday and come to find out they were closed. The…read moretime we did go in the service was great. Greeted us right at the door and asked us if they could help us finding anything. We were looking for wreaths and they pointed us in the right. They had a great selection of wreaths as that's what we were looking for. All of them were beautiful, but overpriced, even on sale. I decided on getting one that was 1/2 off of $80. So I spent $40. Still a little overpriced. But the wreath is beautiful. Beautiful store and very easy to find stuff. Just remember they're closed on Sundays.

I went in search of them, wondering what the distress could be, and found five medium-sized tropical birds in a cage much too small to accommodate them within any comfort. I was really upset and left the store. I don't know that much about birds and I don't know the story of the birds in Farmfancy. Maybe she lets them out at some point when she doesn't have customers. I have never kept them myself and the two people I know who have birds do not cage them. I still feel sick by what I saw.

There is always someone available to help if needed, and good prices too! Also love their garden selection!!

All the chutes and various chambers are very intriguing, then you get into the wares the store offers. Very much in sync with the atmosphere of the building. It would seem that whatever hobby or craft you are into, they have some of what you need. They definitely have plants, containers and such covered. Next is the cookware, then canning supplies, storage containers, macrame, animal supplies, personal care... the list goes on. The neat part of it all is that it all feels so vintage yet new. A very holistic shopping experience.
