For such a cute, cozy space, it is full of adorable, covetable treasures. From macramé plant hangers, to incense, essential oils, pet toys, leashes and accessories, stickers for every interest, beautiful one-of-a-kind jewelry, and home decor, walking into this shop made me feel like a kid in a candy store. The collection of retro and new items is curated so that you'll love discovering new treasures every time you visit. How refreshing that downtown Lodi has such a unique new business in its wake! I will definitely be back - to find just the right gifts for loved ones, AND to pick up some goodies for myself ;)

This is a great store to come to as you're sure to find something very nice that isn't from a big box store and unique.

This place looks very tiny from the outside, but actually has a lot of stock. Don't be surprised if…read moreit always looks like a dud of a store judging by the cars in the parking lot; the "store hours" are pretty lame, even by Stockton standards. According to the Events Calendar, the store is CLOSED every weekday, except Friday, when it's open Noon-6pm. Oh, but not on Sept. 26, when it's CLOSED. Open Sat/Sun from 10:30am-5:00, but not on Sept 27-28, when it's CLOSED. Five classes are offered during this month, all of them on days the store is closed. So how is it that they're celebrating its 4-year anniversary? How much business is this store pulling in? By the way, did I mention they don't charge sales tax here? But to make up for it, the prices seem a little steep, even by scrapbooking standards. If you're looking for stickers, this place has lots of 'em. If you're looking for anything wedding-related, this place does not have 'em. At all. 12x12 paper is plentiful here, but a pain to look through, because they're displayed several layers deep per paper tray. Katie's provided tabs to separate the different patterns, and also has them separated by category (sports, beach, etc), but it's still very time consuming to look at all of it, especially if you're like me and don't go in with anything particular in mind. This is a great place for Disney stuff; LOTS of character stuff I hadn't seen before, and even Hannah Montana-type stuff. And don't forget to check out the side room for sale/clearance items. Overall, I'll definitely come here again, when I have more time and when the store is open. When those two criteria shall meet, who knows....

I really take exception to the review written by Patty W. !…read more I think she happened on the store, made her judgements by exterior appearances (which really aren't bad but aren't "BAY AREA"), and never talked to Katie once she entered the store. Had Patty done that and asked questions, she may have learned why the hours are set as they are (this is the owner's avocation not her vocation) , why classes are scheduled when the store is closed (most of her customers cannot do day classes...evenings are good for them). As to Patty's comments about pricing...I am astounded! I find the prices better, in most cases, than even the "big box" stores like Joann's or Michaels. And certainly better than any of the other "local" (Elk Grove/Sacramento) stores. Not sure where Patty shops for her supplies-only on sale at Joann's with their limited supply? Moving on to paper...Katie's World's selection and variety is beyond amazing! But the space IS finite and so the paper has to be stacked with tabs by category or the store would have to be HUGE! I have sent people there looking for scrap booking paper for skydiving that they couldn't find anyplace else. Katie's has a phenomenal selection of state/country paper and I have referred folk there just for that for their post-vacation scrapbooks . And wedding paper and embellishments? Well, once again, Patty didn't take the time to ask where or if. I travel a lot and have been to scrapbook stores from California to Massachusetts and in between. I have yet to be in a store that has the overall selection of paper, embellishments and tools that Katie's World has. I may have been in stores that seem a bit better organized until I start looking around and realize that I've somehow gone from pets to baby and tools and back and cannot find what I saw during my first pass through. And then I try to find someone to ask. Therein lies the key to visiting a new store...Ask! If you are a scrapbooker or a paper-holic like me and are in the area, I would recommend stopping. The hours may be a bit problematic but you can always call. Katie's World is a great store and well worth visiting!!

You can tell they are passionate about what they are doing! I had a few questions about some of their pieces and they really took the time to answer them. Their displays are really nice and it gives me ideas of how to decorate my own home. They have a great selection of vintage and antique pieces that are perfect for the rustic country look that I want. Another perk about this store is it is located in Lodi where there are two other similar shops on the same block, and a consignment store around another. You can make a whole day of shopping with this store and the others or just have a quick stop at this one. This store is my favorite out of them all but I have picked up some great pieces in the others as well!

If you're looking for a special gift or just want to treat yourself, French At Heart is a must-visit in downtown Lodi.

There's also incense, candles, and lots of really fun jewelry. The zodiac jars were a cute touch (of course this Pisces had to get one), and they also have these "to-go" surprise boxes that are such a fun idea. Overall, such a cute little shop with kind, helpful people and a really nice vibe.
