Find a cozy chair to read your way from afternoon to evening. There's a $10 book table for those that aren't addicted to a Kindle. Ha! As for me I love a good page turner novel fact or fiction. Most times I reach for a mystery or thriller. As of late, a cookbook with decadent desserts are interesting reads. B&N is favorite place to shop for birthday cards. Let's be honest, Here and Target! Graphique de France greeting cards are sold here at B&N and online. Graphiique are manufactured and designed with a care for the environment! This matters to me. Customer service friendly and most attentive!

I have felt so warm and welcomed at every visit, and I have explored so many new art mediums and ideas because of Jerry's and the kind, patient staff who keep the place running. I feel so lucky to have a store like this that makes stocking up on supplies or testing something different such a seamless and enjoyable endeavor. I have the most wonderful collection of Artfinity and Posca markers from here. The oil brushes are to die for. Prices are very competitive and there are constantly various promotions, discounts and even clearance items available at times. The Mother's Day special was phenomenal this year. I look forward to supporting Jerry's for years to come and encourage you to do the same if you're lucky enough to swing by the area!

In what I consider a very interesting addition, Paper Leaves also carries a variety of plants. Waxahachie is already well known for its over 200 historic structures in five historic districts. Paper Leaves lies on Water Street to the north of West End Historic District, the largest district with homes built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I love that Paper Leaves is SO Waxahachie in that respect! You step back in time here in high ceilinged book filled rooms with comfy, vintage and antique furniture, and just make yourself at home in such a special place. We entered from the back. The driveway and backyard look newly renovated and there are several parking spaces. The handicapped access to the business is in the rear and is smooth with a concrete ramp. The recent rain and wind has buffeted their lovely backyard, but there are two big areas for outdoor reading. They are shady with lots of chairs and look big enough for book clubs to meet. At the back, there is a small sunroom with lovely stained glass and three high tables and chairs set up for conversation or reading. The windows are enormous in this home with sun streaming in on velvet and brocade and velveteen sofas and chairs. Every room is a treat. A short stack of $1 Books and a (previous) dining room of used books were followed by what had been a parlor with a lovely fireplace and even more books. The foyer has the register and a very vertical staircase. The remaining downstairs room is an inspired Kids Books section with mysterious footprints on the floor and a bathroom! Paper Leaves has been altered to accommodate at least two (that I saw) spacious modern bathrooms with baby changing areas. The terrific front porch, the kind you always wanted, has a big ole swing and seating. There's used books and small exotic plants for sale out front. I saw a used copy of The Goldfinch for $7. The stairs are not steep. I mean, I'm 71 and had a hip replacement not all that long ago and I could make it up and down. Upstairs there's a very sunny reading room and all kinds of interesting paraphernalia on the floor and the walls of the landing. Then there's this astonishing windowed in sunroom. It's a lovely room with plants that have prices but no names. Just "Foliage." Yes, they can look them up. But, I knew a number of them anyway. Bonsai, many cacti and succulents, philodendron. Just gorgeous. All sizes. Hanging Baskets. Climbers. Teeny tiny little bitty plants in pots. Wonderful. I loved Paper Leaves. A very soothing, calming, good vibes place. But books and plants are my jam, so ... I can hardly wait to come back.

I took it to Visual Expressions and they were up to the challenge of finding a way to frame the puck. We have become frequent customers of Visual Expressions over the last few years and bring everything to them. They do quality work in a reasonable amount of time. Just today I dropped off my wedding day memorabilia to be put in a frame. They worked with me on the layout and selecting the matte and frame. I trust their work and opinions in the layout (I do not have an artistic eye like they do). I am very excited to see the final product when its ready!

It was easy to select the classes and the schedule was easy to work with. The instructor helped guide my kiddo with her projects. They helped unlock my daughter's hidden talent. She was so focused on digital art that I thought it would be too challenging to work with paints, chalk etc. I believe they helped develop a budding artist. They were a starting point for her interest in art. She is currently enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin in college level art building on her experience. I recommend for anyone who wants to explore their inner artist or develop their existing talent.

Giving us the time we needed. We had narrowed down our choices, so Rosy started the background check process while we decided. By the time my granddaughter had decided everything was ready for her to purchase the gun. She sealed the deal by giving her a better deal. I have been looking for a certain shotgun magazine for awhile, but refused to pay the high price of retail stores. She just happened to have it with a stack of magazines in a show case. $15 for a $65 mag. Even grandpa found something for himself. If all transactions go this smoothly here then save your money by shopping here instead of the high price gun stores. Just make sure you do your research before you buy.
