It has many facets and components but the gist is that its a center for goods to be donated, re-used, up-cycled and turned into art or whatever else you want it to be. If you are a teacher looking for supplies for ur students she's got EVERYTHING (not an exaggeration). I believe teachers get discounts but I'm not entirely sure and even if they don't everything is super cheap. If you are a person who likes to be inspired, check out the space she's got EVERYTHING, books, art supplies, jewelry, jewelry making supplies, stamps, paper, yarn, gadgets and gizmo's aplenty. I have not an artistic fiber in my being but just hanging out there makes me feel like I'm an artist. There are also classes and events, like fill a bag day (for $5 or $6), wine and art classes in the evening on Wednesdays and the one I frequent is the toddler art class on Tuesday (10:00 am-11:30 am). Carly reads a story to the kids- who ADORE her and she them- and then creates a super toddler friendly art project around that story. An example is the time she read an Eric Carlyle book and then led an art project using tissue paper. She gives each child so much loving individual attention and is so easy going. My daughter loves her and loves going to the sharing tree. She does an incredible job of fostering a strong sense of creative, conscious, community in Ole T-Town.

When in Tally look for My Favorite Things…read more It is fun to explore different towns when visiting family and we stumbled upon this interesting gift & wedding registry store . From nice China and place settings to monogrammed towels they have a little bit of everything . They even had a small section dedicated specifically to the favorite man in your life . The service could not be any better as we had at least 3 people come to ask if we could be helped. At the front of the store they even sold Hollyballs which I had recently seen on " Shark Tank".( my fave show). Prices were a little high but they had a large section of beautiful clearance items for those that might want to find some things a little more reasonably priced . This is a nice place for a registery though and if I was local I might consider.

We were immediately greeted when entered store and had the pleasure of meeting Chris who walked us through their huge assortment of specialty infused basalmics and olive oils .We loved the stories about how they allow for tastings and Chris even let me take a few samples home since I didn't want to try the open samples .Chris explained some pairings and they have recipe cards to give you some extra ideas on meals. I love to pick up bread from restaurants we frequent and these make great oils for dipping.We went with a fig basalmic and a store fave.the peach basalmic.Chris used a heat gun to seal our bottles and wrapped our bottles so they would have a safe transport since we were traveling 700 + miles home .I really appreciate the extra details . We walked around and found several other cool things that needed for the home including silicon bowl toppers and steel measuring cups for my mom. She wanted some and was happy to find them there. Highly recommend this store if go to Tallahassee. They have been around since 1999 .They have high quality items and amazing customer service.

The chef was from Albany and her "expertise" focused on creating/cooking delicious gluten free dishes. On the menu was cinnamon and spice chicken wings (sounds strange, but it works!), quinoa and sweet potato salad (my favorite), and a pumpkin spice streusel cake for dessert. Everyone enjoyed the food! The chef was very engaging and answered all questions asked. She offered various forms of substitutions for the items. There was even someone in our party who was dairy free and the chef was sure to cater to her by not adding feta cheese to her specific plate (we all had a sample of everything that was prepared). Though there was a bit of a hiccup at first in that the stove didn't seem to want to come on, a staff member in the store was able to remedy the situation and get the "touch" stove working properly. After the session, we went shopping in the store and went home with some good finds. I really love the on-the-spot, custom made vinegar/oil bottles. The entire staff was just friendly/pleasant and overall, very attentive. Notably, there is a calendar of various events as cooking sessions (demonstration or hands on), wine tasting, etc. Will plan to return.

Then we moved to Tallahassee and never thought we would find Mia something as special. But then my wife met Mrs. Martha and Mrs. Madonna from SewNoles and thought that they would be a good fit. This place is so special that even my wife is taking classes. The ladies are spectacular and have truly rounded Mia up to the next level of passion for the art. As parents that want the best for our children we found it here. Also a great shout out to Mr Jimmy that has served our Country Honorably. He also does a great job keeping the operation running smoothly. They also have a large variety of fabrics in stock. This place is a gem! We HIGHLY recommend SewNoles!!!!! Five Stars! Thank you to the team at SEWNOLES
