I'm an old fart but still a kid at heart. I like this store. There's so many goofy little toys…read moreand amusements. Plenty of board games, crafty projects, interesting kits of all types. If my wife wasn't with me I would have bought at least a half dozen goofy inexpensive toys and novelties. I agree with the review from Nancy V. She says that the place is a "blast from the past". Yep!

My daughter, Ella, who is seven years old, used her hard-earned money to purchase two dumplings…read morefrom this store. Upon opening them, she discovered that they had been taped and were not properly packaged. Furthermore, the items she received did not match what was advertised on the packaging, and the colors were significantly different from those depicted. Based on what I observed, including seeing authentic dumplings behind the counter, I believe this was a deliberate act of misrepresentation. This experience was extremely disappointing, particularly because it involved a young child spending her own money. I cannot recommend this store and will not be returning. Taking advantage of children in this manner is unacceptable. if I could write the store zero stars, I would.

ive always been meaning to come back here after my first trip to squaw where i only had 1/2 an hour…read morebefore the place closed! this time was a success! the make you get a clipboard, and fill out your name, with the shape of candle and the scent, and any add on already made shapes (price accordingly) if you pay $1/candle you can get it rushed into 1.5 hrs instead of the 3... definitely worth it! there are tons of scents you can choose from, me and bf chose orange(hexagon) and pomegranate(daisy shape) we were allowed to each have a spatula that would split the wax chunks into the desired shape we wanted (no smaller than a gummy bear!). there were a spectrum of colored waxes to choose from. note: when you are making your candle, it is actually upside down! so plan accordingly! when we were down, the mixed in the white wax/filler + scent .. and cooled down. and finally into the awesome fountain waterbath! when we came to pick it up, the lady was already ironing it out to make it smooth and even, and then wrapped in tissue paper and we were on our merry little way back to the bay area :]

Ever wanted to make your own candle? This place is quick,…read moreeasy and you get beautiful results! There are a variety of candle shapes to choose from and you also get to choose your own scent. After a short lesson, you get to work putting together cold pieces of wax in a mold to make your candle. There are also lots of "speciality shapes" to choose from (they cost a bit extra), if you want to do a theme. I love to make the breadpan 3 wick because I get lots of space to add big blocks of color. The pyrimid is a fun shape and burns forever! After you're finished, it takes 3 hours for the candle to cool down and be finished. This is a great project for kids (under 7 will need adult help) or for a first date. Waxen Moon also sells a lot of pre-made candles, candle holders and other accessories so you can shop as well. They have some big, beautiful candles!! And they make Serenity Bowls, which are so cool. I have 4 of them, plus I have bought them for friends and family and they are always a hit! The Waxen Moon staff is really friendly, helpful and accomidating. I love this place and always hit it up when I am in Tahoe!

This is always the first stop for me when visiting Truckee! It's two stores in one! A home goods,…read morebooks, jewelry, gift store in the front... And an awesome arts and crafts store in the back! It's on the main street in downtown Truckee and it's awesome. They have GORGEOUS hand dyed yarns and tons of crafting books. Some of the other art supplies: embroidery supplies, watercolors, calligraphy, wool felting, crochet, drawing.....and on and on. Really unique finds here. They have the Colorio separate pans and palettes so you can create your own collection. I really love the yarn area.... If you're a crafty person you need to stop in!

Everyone was so sweet and helpful, and the overall vibe was fun & laid back. I recommend both their art supplies for your own projects, and also the workshops they do with what they sell. I love that I can just buy a chunky knit blanket, but I can also learn & make my own!

JoAnne's Stained Glass ' Gallery is located in historic downtown Truckee, California and has been…read morein business since 1979. The store is filled with beautiful stained glass stars, snowflakes and crystals. JoAnne's specializes in stained glass, leaded and beveled glass, sandblasted etched glass and fused art glass. Most of the stained glass and etched pieces are designed by JoAnne and fabricated in JoAnne's Truckee studio. I also enjoyed the walking through their historical "shut gun" building and almost bought a sweet little glass "kiss" for my honey. I'm sure I'll be back the next time that I'm around these parts.

Even the owners sometimes! NOT HERE! We were greeted as soon as we came in (even though both assc. were w/customers.) When I reached the back of the store one of them was finished with her customer and made her way to the back and offered me assistance! Our purchases were nicely packed for a 3 hour drive!! The check out was smooth and we were heart fully thanked!! Any small business could take lesson from these two on how to run your business!! It's all about CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

I would've sent better quality images if I knew they would turn out so blurry, or not have ordered them at all. The company seems professional, but it would have been nice to have been contacted about the issue. I won't be using the products I ordered due to the photo quality.
