Shout out to Kayla, our painting associate this morning, for guiding us through this new artistic endeavor.

I felt compelled to leave a review after my visit to the store today and was surprised at the shops…read morerating. I've visited many times and always find it welcoming with a unique and carefully selected assortment of gifting ideas. They sell beautiful cards hand made by the merchants mother which is usually what I stop in for. I'd like to comment on some of the reviews regarding prices. While you maybe can save a little by ordering and purchasing some of these products online, the prices certainly are not outrageous. I, for one, appreciate having a store to shop in. There is no substitute for being able to see and touch items. A storefront comes with cost. I'm willing to pay a little extra for the shopping experience. I've also seen them sampling products quite often as well which is always great. Keep up the good work!

The kids are going to love it! We had my daughter's 8th birthday party here recently and all the kids had so much fun! Gretchen, the owner & host, has a cozy studio and checks all the boxes for a party: she has decorations, provides coloring sheets, and has the perfect balance of fun, understanding, and authority that keeps the kids on task and having fun. While booking the party you get to pick the project (from a few choices). Day of she walks/teaches the kids through every step of the creation. After, she fires the clay and you pick it up! It was such a delightful experience having a birthday party here that I will be recommending it to others as much as I can. Thank you for the great time, Gretchen!

Although I didn't find what I was looking for, I found many reasons to return. Considering it's a bunch of different vendors you really never know what you'll find. Each section is curated different and the prices range depending on the vendor. I took one star off because no staff acknowledged me on my visit even though multiple workers walked by me.

Some of the items were a bit overpriced from the booth but a lot of them are having January sales. A good majority of the booths were a bit vacant too and even a whole aisle was gone too.

Definitely a place worth checking out But overall I wasn't too impressed either.

This place looks adorable and I loved the look of the event room. Unfortunately, the person behind…read morethe desk ruined the experience. She was rude, argumentative, and seems to get off by trying to prove a point. I was excited to bring my out-of-town parents here to look for a few specific items. When we got here we parked in the back and walked up to the entrance. The double doors would not open and seemed locked. We saw the sign that said to use the other door, so we tried pulling the other door and it wouldn't open. Another sign claimed the wind makes the door hard to open...but there wasn't a breeze to be felt. After verifying we were there on the right day and the store was in fact to be open, we walked all around the outside looking for the "other door". We found another door towards the front and walked in...only to be told by the woman that we came in the wrong door. We said the main door was locked and she was adamant it wasn't and asked to show me how it wasn't locked. I followed her to the front door and she told me to push. I did and it didn't open. She said no you have to push harder. I did and the heavy door finally opened a smidge. Apparently you're supposed to be as rough with the doors as she is with customers. After I went out to wait for my parents in the car, she then tried to show my mom that the door wasn't locked. FINE! We get it! Your heavy doors are hard for customers to open. I won't be back.

I visited Inluro for a girls' night and overall had a really nice experience. When I first walked…read morein, the place smelled amazing. The space is open, cozy, and beautifully set up with candles, scents, and other products along one wall, plus a large bar area where all the candle-making happens. Once I found my friends, we were greeted right away and started our session. We began by choosing our scents. My friend asked a few questions about scent profiles & while the staff member helping us was friendly, the guidance was a little limited. She mostly encouraged us to "explore and figure out what you like first," which was totally fine, but I think my friend was looking for a bit more direction. There are tons of scents to choose from, though I did notice a few had a slightly chemical note under the main fragrance. I ended up choosing vanilla bean, cinnamon and vanilla, and snickerdoodle, and the mix turned out perfect. After picking our scents, we chose our candle holders. They had a good variety, but the cuter ones all had the store logo printed on them, which I personally found a little tacky, so I went with one without the branding. At the bar, our instructor walked us through the process of slowly mixing our scents and smelling as we went. Following her advice really helped because my candle turned out beautifully and exactly how I imagined. After pouring the oils and stirring for a few minutes, we were done. Compared to another candle-making class I've taken, this experience was much quicker and less detailed, so if you're looking for something deeply involved, this might feel pretty simple. But if you want a cute, quick activity and a nice candle to take home, it's perfect.

I like how they have it set up that you can smell the oils together that you want to mix. Great idea! Other place I had been to you had to smell the candle but couldn't smell it together so hard to see what would mix well. Fun place to just do with one friend or a bunch of friends!
