While taking a stroll through Old Town, we stumbled upon Toby's Candle shop. They have 4 different…read morehands-on activities to choose from for kids, and my son wanted to dip his own candle and choose his own colors. There were a variety of candle shapes to choose from at different price points. He opted for the boat, which was about $8. You first pay for your candle, then an employee attaches a string and hook so you can start dipping. There were several colors to choose from. After selecting his colors, my son was patient between each dip as you have to wait 15 seconds to dry. You do have to be careful not to drop your candle into the colored wax because otherwise you're done for and candle is gone. He had a great experience and really enjoyed seeing his candle come together after each dip. The shop itself is pretty small so it can feel crowded very quickly, but the candle dipping experience was fun.

I had been looking high and low for beautiful invitation suites, but nothing compared to the exquisiteness that is Posh Paperie. I have never seen so much beautiful paper in my life! They can literally create and design anything you desire, and it's always above and beyond what you had imagined!

For my bridal shower, they did the invites, menu, thank you cards, and gift tags- So lovely! They designed AMAZING baby shower invites and thank you's for a shower I threw for a girlfriend. Most recently, they designed birth announcements and thank you's for my son. Words cannot describe how perfectly they turned out!

It's always a pleasure working with them, and I can't wait to do it again! Thank you ladies!!!

I have used them to create beautiful custom made invitations for parties, Christmas cards, and stationery for both my husband's business and our family.

They got so many compliments on the cards, and we gladly referred them to our creative geniuses. Elizabeth and Karrie are consummate professionals; always on time, on budget, and cutting edge. If you want your cards and stationery to stand out as something special, Posh Paperie should definitely be your first choice!

I have never sold there though I would like to look into it and I have talked to people about it and understand it is reasonable. Usually the sales are held at the La Mesa Community Center so that is the address I have listed, but occasionally they are held short distance away, down the hill at the Nan Couts cottage. Both venues are small and cozy and the sales are fun and don't require a huge amount of walking. There are always plenty of handmade items to choose from and often craft supplies as well. The ladies who work it are very nice. Bathrooms are available and occasionally light refreshments. Naturally the sales that are close to Christmas have more Christmas decoration type merchandise where whereas the ones held in the spring and summer have more summer related items though you might find all of the above year round. There are a few edibles along with the gift items and useful items. You can find dish towels, key chains, dog biscuits, aprons, tea cozies, planters, jellies, hand painted wine glasses, homemade cookies, dip mixes, pet related items, American Girl doll clothes, Christmas tree ornaments, hand sewn and hand knitted items, jewelry and beaded items, beautiful scarves, and even a few items of furniture and wall hangings. Not every item is available at every fair but every fair has an interesting assortment well worth checking out. There is plenty of parking as well.

There is an ABM Parking lot right across the street from the East Curb line, $10 for 12hrs of parking, on a Saturday Night that is great for downtown. The staff here was Wyathe and Shelby. They were very good with teaching our group the ways to produce beautiful pottery. The class is $90/person and that includes the instructional 45mins class plus 1 pottery item. If you want to add more items, it's $10/additional item. With the time I had left I opted to do 1 additional item. This allowed me to form and create another small bowl to complete a set of 2. I plan to use them for individual rice and meat dishes at work lunch. Wonderful party, we were allowed to bring light Hor d'oevres and juices and water for the group. Nice time and I highly recommend.

There were a few other couples in our session, but it still felt intimate and personal. For $150, we were able to make three creations of anything we wanted during the 1 hour and 30 minute class.

Pinch is such a perfect way to introduce yourself, your partner, or your friends to pottery. If you're new, they teach you the basics and guide you through everything if you need help. They also have a ton of different glaze colors to choose from, which I loved. Definitely will be coming back again!
