Easy communication scheduling our event and Our facilitators were engaging and fun and had a tough job trying to keep us in line. We brought our own drinks and some took advantage of the suits to rent to protect their clothes. The actual mixing of paint and splattering was entertaining as we had the music going and drinks flowing too. The splatter team took photos and videos for us of the whole event, but did use one of our phones so make sure you have a charged battery! Our canvas was delivered a week later and looks great!

The store is clean and organized in a way that is easy to navigate. All beads were clearly labeled with price. They had almost any color, or material you would want in beads. They also had sections of charms and pendants. You could really make anything- necklaces, earrings, bracelets, even keychains! There is a lot to choose from, I was a little overwhelmed at first but the staff is AMAZING. They were very well staffed and were very willing to help. There were already made pieces around the store, or they were able to look at inspo pictures and find beads/pieces that matched. Once you pick out your pieces, they give you a board to lay it out, and string to bead it on, then they take care of putting the clasp on and finishing it. They have tall tables to work at so you can stand while you work, or sit in a stool. You can drop in anytime they are open, but they are only open until 4:00 during the week. We scheduled a private party which they do after hours, is $20 a person not including jewelry, and you need a minimum of 8 people. We also brought our own drinks and snacks. As far as pricing, everything is very clearly labeled, then it was an addition $5 to put the chain and clasp on. My necklace was $40 total and most pieces made by our group ranged from $30-$60 for the most part. I will definitely be back!!

I like coming here when I have an idea of what I'm needing or wanting otherwise you could easily spend the whole day here. Prices are also very reasonable!

Charlotte yarn was a great stop with a great variety of yarns to choose from including local spun and dyed yarns (one of which my mother in law bought for me as part of my Christmas gift!). The service was friendly and I love that they offer knitting classes and do knitting circles! The yarn values range from single digits (like the 100% cotton skeins I purchased) to low 30s (like the skein my mother in law bought me) - I'd say it's a typical range for a yarn store! Overall a great spot!

It is located near the ice cream stand and not far from the Indian cuisine. Parking options include the spaces against the Optimist Hall building or the lots located within walking distance. I recommend going during a non-peak time (Ex. Lunch, weekend during a meal time, etc.) to find a spot. The shop offers stationery goods, some unique papers, and a few children's items. This is a great place to shop for your friends and family if they love stationery. The space is very well laid out and offers a relaxed shopping experience. Staff are nice and they offer to help if you need it. Most of the time when I went, I browsed without assistance. Prices are a little higher here than other box-retail stores. It is a small business and they're a bit more artisanal than a regular store that has a small dedicated stationery area.
