The ladies of PPP are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! It's so fun to be able to get creative and make your own candle. These candles burn way better than some of the ones at big box stores. After the class I took some time to shop the store. The cheapest candle is $7 and I think the most expensive one (outside of ordering a custom one) is about $40. I picked up a couple of great gift items for friends and family. They have cards, clothes, games, some food based items and just about everything in between. There is parking right outside the store; which makes stopping in to grab some goodies even easier.

I have purchased pieces from Jeff for many years. He exhibits at many of the fairs and venues I…read moreattend throughout the year all over the Twin Cities, but I also see him at his store in Calhoun Square. His work is whimsical, unique, nostalgic and easily recognizable. I can usually find something to get my Disney or Star Wars fix, or I can ask Jeff and he'll go looking around until he finds something for me. However, I've also purchased other fun treasures like the Banana Splits to Dairy Queen and Calhoun Square. That's the reason I have so many for my own, but have also given them as gifts. Each little piece of art is made with love. On the back of each magnet is the name, Jeff's signature and the number of the magnet made. Yes, he keeps track of all his work! On the front of each magnet since the tragedy of 9/11, Jeff has included a small symbol of a dove. It's such a nice and special touch to his work. And speaking of work, visit him in his store in Calhoun Square. You'll see some other works of his and his friends that is just amazing. To top it all off, Jeff's customer service is top-notch. He consistently provides great service to me, but I see he provides it to anyone visiting his booth or store.

Ok. A friend of a friend had a opening night photo exhibit here so I made this page, made a Yelp…read moreevent, all in the hopes of getting people to the show because the photos were that cool. And now a review of the space, because like the photos, this place is that cool and now, I have a better understanding of what it's all about, sort of. So the place has been open for about 5.5 months. A warm inviting storefront with the inside filled with local artist inspirations. Prices range from the Wow! That will look kick ass in my place (for the most frugal shopper) to Wow! That will look kick ass in my place! (for the person with some deep, pockets). Everything that's sold are one-of-a-kind pieces and are quite amazing. From paper mache' sculptures (definitely worth checking out) , New Zealand reclaimed wood tables, low temp fired ceramics, paintings with prices all over the spectrum and of course, photography and more. The cool thing though is that with the gallery owner, Nance, has space in the back which could be used for other events besides showings. Not big events, but smaller ones and obviously you would need to talk to her about what your trying to do but she came off as pretty cool and open to ideas. Nance has history of doing things in the city around the arts scene and if you've been to Macy's for their holiday display, you've seen her work. This part of West 7th (3-4 block area?) is really starting to pop and one could park in the middle and walk around, eat, drink, and shop their way to the different businesses and this place, is definitely worth a stop.

Taylor was our instructor, she's very patient and kind on repeating herself many times for us until we fully understand the process. They even helped me print out my own design. Oh they also offers yummy drinks. It was a very nice experience for us to be there, we enjoyed a nice 2-2.5 hours girls time together, chatting while working in our project. Highly recommended.

Enter Simply Creative : a beautiful, artistic space designed to release your imagination and inner creativity. We chose the holiday candle + bracelet making class and it was a huge hit! There were so many choices of beads to choose from for the bracelets, and it was so fun smelling all the aromatic scents for the candles and sharing our favorite scents with friends before deciding on a candle. I absolutely loved it ! The best part was that it wasn't too loud and it was easy to carry on a conversation. Everyone in the group was friendly and supportive of each other's bead and candle artwork. I just loved the environment and space. It was expensive - around $70 with tax - but it was totally worth it for the experience. And like I said, the selection of beads and aromatics were so unique, it was worth the cost for that experience alone! Besides classes, the place also sells art and creative pieces like jewelry and other trinkets. Thank you for making my birthday memorable! I will definitely be back again some day to try the other classes.

I still found lots of great ideas! I even bought an old pill bottle and have a list of a few other items I will go back to get, budget willing.
