I've been seriously crafting for over 20 years, and thrift/bargain hunting for longer. What happens…read morewhen I get to experience both at the same time?! It was great!
I only heard of Cats Eye within the last two or three days. I thought my friends were hiding this gem from me. Nope. The brick & mortar store is THAT new! (I won't hide this gem from them.)
I saw so many crafty goodies: ink pads, rubber stamps, markers, pencils, paints, brushes, yarn, hooks, patterns, raw wool, stickers, cardstock, storage, beads, wire, buttons, jewelry findings, and even office supplies. I arrived after 5pm, and I asked Shay to please kick me out at when she closes 6pm, so I don't keep her here that late. (I think I was a little late anyway.) I'll have to go back ASAP to finish up my 1st round of shopping.
The other thing I noticed was that there's a classroom at the back of the space. I bet there will be some really fun opportunities to learn techniques and new crafts.
There is a cool scheduling tool on their website for when you want to donate some of your unused artistic or crafty supplies.
Items inside are inexpensive and in great condition. I'm excited to play with my new goodies tomorrow and share this review with my friends.
