MY NEW FAVORITE PLANT NURSRY!!!!!…read more I used to go to those commercialized stores to buy small indoor plants, but I have noticed those stores don't carry a lot of different varieties and tend to limit their supply only for some of the popular ones we usually see in the neighbor's front yard. However, since becoming a plant person in 2020, I decided to turn my little office space into a garden and better feng shui as well. So I was SURPRISED to find this hidden gem in Claremont on our lazy Saturday afternoon stroll in the neighborhood. Once I stepped inside of the nursery, I was so excited that I explored every single corner of the nursery to make sure I did not miss anything they have to offer!!! I showed the owner a plant I have been searching everywhere for and she was like, oh yeah, its right here! this little one. I was then mesmerized... or tunnel visioned ... narrowed in on the plant itself. It was truly a happy moment for me. I can't wait to bring her home and be her best plant parent!

We scrambled for a last-minute change of plans, and it turned out to be absolutely perfect. They were incredibly accommodating: we hosted the birthday party right in the studio, decorated the space, brought our own food and non-alcoholic drinks, and set up a special designated area for the birthday girl and her friends. Laura and Bob were beyond patient and so helpful with the kids, guiding them every step of the way to make sure everything came out just right. The selection of pottery pieces is huge (overwhelming in the best way) and they even surprised us with a complimentary plate featuring all her friends' little fingerprints. What a thoughtful touch! It was such a fun, creative day, and everyone stayed nice and dry. Highly recommend for families, especially when plans go sideways.

Today I was so happy with the customer service that I gave them a 5/5…read more I arrived in the parking lot 20 min early because I was on my way home from another errand. I walked up to the front door 3 min early to wait. They let me in a minute early unexpectedly, which was kind. My mission? To order balloons for a friend's husband's 60th birthday which is happening at another friend's house tomorrow. Rebecca helped me at the front, explaining how I choose balloons, pay for them, and then she would fill out an order form for my exact request. Latex balloons are 12 for $12. I decided I wanted the mylar ones because my friend wanted gold and silver balloons and they were shinier. I chose 1 round black one with 60 on it and silver and gold confetti design, then two gold and three silver balloons of different shapes. I'll post pictures of them when I pick them up tomorrow. I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. Rebecca was kind, patient, and helpful. I also purchased the weights to hold the balloon arrangements since the party would be outside. You can choose what color ribbon so I chose matching as opposed to white. I'm thrilled Michael's has balloons now! It's super convenient. You order ahead of time in person or online (not on the phone). Additional notes on pickup day: the balloons were ready for 1p.m. pickup as requested. Very pleased with the result. Glad I bought the weights because it ended up being breezy today so they came in handy. Thank you, Michaels! It was a welcome addition to my friend's 60th birthday party (60 guests!)

I started the trip badly. Amanda working on the floor walked passed and I asked " Excuse me are…read morethere public restrooms here?" To which she replied in a rather rude tone " Of course there are in the back of the stire." My first thought was left middle or right? By then she was long gone! I worked my way to the back of the store and found employees only area, then the time clock location, finally I found the glorious sign for the restrooms! Wait it gets better! There is a code lock on the door! Thanks a bunch Amanda! Thank heavens a sweet worker came by and I asked for the code and she politely gave it to me. Thank you Monica! Just in the nick of time! A very friendly cashier Frida checked me out and was very kind. Even when I had that one last dreaded item with no price. She got the manager and I left happy and lighter in my pocketbook. My initial reaction to the first employee was to just leave. I am glad I held my ground and bladder to complete my trip. Shame on you Amanda! to Monica and Frida!

I live by LAX and the ceramic studio that I belong to doesn't do Raku firings. HOWEVER, last year…read moreand this year we were able to come here to experience the art of Raku. It was like an educational hands on field trip for us. Also a fun way to be more creative and collaborative with another ceramic studio. I had a fantastic experience last year and when I found out that we were going to be able to return this year, I jumped on the opportunity! They provide the glazes, the brushes and their expertise. There were several people helping us during this event. Every single staff member was an expert in Raku. They knew so much about their glazes and combinations, the entire firing operation, reduction and post firing procedures. There's a lot of down time while waiting for the kiln to reach its optimum temperature. We got to ask the staff all kinds of questions. They were eager to interact with us: warm and inviting, full of great advice and really knowledgeable ceramicists. Such great team work!They don't talk down to anyone, even praised some of our potter's art work. I loved hearing people share how they made their pieces, and I was proud to share my own story about the construction of my "bird bath" - as one of my fellow ceramicist called it. The participation between the two studios was phenomenal! Thank you Dave, Erik, Oscar, Mary, Darrell and Elise. Sorry that Scott wasn't with us today. You guys are fantastic!!! By the way, thanks to you, Dave and Erik, I absolutely love the way my pieces came out! Your patience and advice made my day. For those of you nay sayers, I've been doing ceramics since 1972, so I kind of think I know something about clay. Bravo! If I live long enough, I'll be back! A million stars for the Clay Yard!

It appears bigger and seems to have more variety of things than my local Michael's. Like another Yelper mentioned, they have a balloon service and yesterday they had at least 5 balloon bouquets ready to be picked up! I wish I had taken a picture. It is a bit of a maze but since I was talking to my daughter on the phone anyway, I walked every aisle and appreciated all the variety of items available, from figurines for DIY dollhouses or dioramas, to fabrics, to dozens of types of yarn, to silk flowers, to frames, to paper products such as the black poster board I needed. Two staff up front helping people, even though you basically use a touchscreen--one was guiding an older customer how to navigate the touchscreen, and the other was helping a young person use her gift card. Michael's is just a place that makes me happy to walk into because it's bright, inviting, and allows people to explore or dive deeper into their creative side.

A Beautiful, Well-Stocked Studio Perfect for Crops and Creative Retreats…read more I attended a 3-day crop here for $79, and it was absolutely worth it. Just keep in mind -- it's a no-frills experience, which means you're paying for the convenience of a very clean, well-organized studio where you can craft comfortably with friends. The space is stocked with every tool, supply, and embellishment you could possibly need for scrapbooking, card making, journaling, or any kind of paper crafting. They even run a tab for you during your crop, which is so convenient when you find last-minute items you want to buy. Location & Space The studio is located in a business park, so it's easy to miss from the street. It's upstairs, but once you walk in, it's spotless and beautifully decorated -- vintage, feminine, and upscale in style. The layout and organization make it easy to find exactly what you need without digging through clutter. Experience & Staff Frank was there during my crop, and he's genuinely kind and helpful. People come in and out regularly, and it's clear the shop carries unique and hard-to-find products that keep customers coming back. I'm also part of the Journal Club and Card Making Club, and both are very reasonably priced. Whether you're crafting solo or with friends, this place is a gem. Highly recommend attending one of their crops or just stopping by to browse -- it's an inspiring space for any paper crafter.
