I'm sharing this experience so other artists--especially those new to selling their work in…read moreshops--know what to expect. I had left several original art pieces with Sunshine & Sweet Pea for consignment. Over the year they had my work, communication was very minimal, which I assumed was normal since it was my first time placing art in a shop. The only method they ever used to communicate with me was Instagram DM, even though I provided full contact information when dropping off my pieces. Recently, I reached out through the same DM channel they've always used to arrange pickup of my art for another show. My messages were read but ignored multiple times over the course of a week. It wasn't until I messaged saying I would be coming by that day that they finally responded--only to tell me they had "disposed of" my artwork. When I called, the manager immediately took a defensive tone and claimed they had "contacted me multiple times by phone earlier in the year," despite admitting they no longer had my contact information and despite the fact that they had never once used phone or email with me in the past. When I asked why they didn't simply message me on Instagram--the only method they'd ever used--there wasn't a clear answer. To make things more confusing, I later saw that they had tagged me in a post featuring one of my pieces after the date they claimed the artwork was thrown away. Any time I asked for clarification, I was told "that was the old manager," which made the whole situation feel disorganized and inconsistent. As an artist, the idea that a shop would throw away someone's original work without clear, verified communication is extremely unsettling. At minimum, a DM--especially since that was their established method--should have been sent before disposing of anything. I'm not writing this out of anger, but out of genuine concern for other creators. If you're considering placing your art with this shop, please be aware of how their communication system works and make sure you check in regularly. Their process seems unorganized, and artists may need to take the lead to ensure their pieces are safe. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I will not be working with or shopping at this store again.

I love AR Workshop - it's such a fun way to spend an evening making a personalized craft and…read morecatching up with friends. This was my second time making a project and this time I chose a less intricate and word-y design because those take forever to prep and paint and remove the stencil detail. I made a large, framed wood sign and did ombre paint which turned out beautiful! My friend and I were the only gals on Thursday night so we had a lot of help and guidance from the gal inside who was so awesome and friendly. We made small-talk with her, caught up with each other, and enjoyed picking our colors and options. It takes the entire time no matter how fast or easy you think your design is, so plan for 3 hours minimum, but it flies by while you work on your project. They have all sorts of wood crafts you can choose, trays (small or large), signs of all shapes and sizes, dog bed frames, blankets, ladder shelves, etc. etc. Summer camps for kids are also starting so check it out! Located central to the oceanfront, close to the interstate, and has private parking in the back in the lot behind the store!

I decided to swing by and take a look at their tape section because it was only 7 minutes away.

This store has a lot of great products and it's really well organized. I look forward to returning again.

Located in…read moreHilltop, this location offers plenty of private lot parking and is close to many restaurants if you want to make a full morning/evening with friends or family. The front of the store is primarily retail - lots of cool gift ideas, planters, seeds and, of course, established plants. The back is where the fun happens - several tables set up with everything you need to design your own terrariums. Before selecting our vessels and plants, we were given brief instructions. You don't have to worry about remembering everything because you will be able to access all of the instructions online to reference at a later date. Depending on your selection - succulents or air plants - your care instructions will vary. We were allowed to choose three air plants or two succulents to craft our terrariums. On each table were items to decorate. Pricing will depend on the vase or vessel you choose. I've done this one time previously and I thought the prices were pretty comparable and not overly expensive. I ended up selecting air plants and also took home a discounted potted plant and planter. This is such a beautiful store to browse in, even if you don't want to craft a plant-masterpiece. The staff was very helpful - even assisting with packaging our plants baby so they could travel home safely. I loved this experience and plan to return soon!
