We like to avoid tablets and screens, so we are always on the lookout for interactive toys. They have a lot of tools for both math and reading as well as support for learning other languages. The staff here is really nice, too. The person working at the time was also a school teacher and had lots of her own ideas and suggestions, which we really liked.

That being said, I also expect to receive great customer service and a great product. After purchasing several items I realized I was overcharged, by $20, for a game. After speaking with a manager to correct the charge I was told that the game was just mislabeled and I was charged correctly. Somehow that was my fault and she took it a step further to blame "someone" for removing the real tag that was to cover up the $20 tag. That did not feel good. Small interactions like this destroy reputations and further patronage. Ownership of the mislabeled product would have had me coming back here for years to come and $,$$$ more to spend. Unfortunately, I can find ALL of these toys online where the price is properly labeled and I will not be accused of price changes.

Our beautiful artwork just needed a beautiful frame! I searched online and read reviews for local frame shops. Your Art's Desire caught my attention right away. First because of all of the positive reviews I read. Second was the name! It's creative, unique and I loved it. I sent an email to enquire if an appointment was needed for a consultation and they responded immediately. We set up an appointment and they sounded genuinely excited to help us out with our framing project. This was our first professional framing experience. Thankfully, from the very beginning of our consultation we both felt comfortable with Ken and Melissa. They were friendly, and knowledgable without being intimidating. They listened to our vision and offered great suggestions without being "pushy". Melissa was helpful and patient as she showed us a wide variety of frame/mat options. Ken explained his process and helped to find products that were not only to our liking and in our price range, but also called to verify they were in-stock so we didn't have any unexpected delays. Together we came up with a solid plan. After sharing some great conversation we left and couldnt wait to see the finished product. Two weeks later we picked up our framed picture and absolutely LOVE it. It's big, it's beautiful, and we could not be happier with how it turned out. A huge thank you to Ken & Melissa for everything. If you are looking for a quality, trustworthy framing company we would highly recommend the talented Ken and Melissa at Your Art's Desire!

In the back, there's a clearance warehouse that houses a lot of "off-season" items that are between 20-50% off! Don't forget to check this out for some steals. I like that the main layout is organized by "theme" since it makes looking for specific items easier. Staff is really nice and I found more than what I was looking for! It's not inexpensive, but it's certainly not more expensive than local craft spots - definitely worth a look if you're a crafter!

I went, using a Groupon, during the 3rd week of February. The pros- very cute store, tons of things to paint, we had a lot of fun painting our items. The cons- unprofessional staff ran by high schoolers. When my friend and I arrived two hours before the shop closed, we were told we should come back another day because we wouldn't have time to paint. ?? We're in our early 30s....we were making coffee mugs....this seemed really weird. The another woman came in 45 minutes before closing time with two kids. Another high school employee said she needed to leave and come back another day. The woman was upset, her kids were upset. They even promised to be out by 8pm if that was necessary, the employee said that didn't matter....they couldn't paint at all. Most confusing was that a 3rd employee appeared to be there doing her homework at a different table. This could have just been a friend, but it didn't help with the image that 3 people were there working at the shop and asking everyone to leave. It seemed the staff wanted to turn everyone away. There was a group of Girl Scouts there that night as well, but they seemed completely unable to handle more than 10 people in the shop. Now, on the website the store says it's open till 8. I would assume that means you can come in before 8 and paint until 8:30 or so (like a restaurant if you're wanting food....if it's open till 10 you can come in at 9:30 and eat until 11:00). But they wanted everyone out of the shop at 7:45....I was told this directly by a high school helper. So that made the experience a little blah. But what makes it worse is that it's now almost a month later and I haven't received a call that my item is ready. I called several days ago asking if it's ready (I'm assuming it is, since they said it would take 5-7 days) and haven't received a response to my call. And I paid around $50 plus my $20 Groupon.....not how I'd run the business if it were mine.
