I was pleasantly surprised by the huge selection of moleskine journals and Crane greeting cards! I overheard a customer ask off they sold stamps, which they do if you need to send something right away! I literally saw everything from pens, washi tape, fun witty printed socks, lip balm?! It's a quaint neighborhood shop that I hope stays in business in this age of Amazon. Prices are moderate but fair for the better brands they carry!

I had an extremely uncomfortable experience at Cheap Pete's and feel compelled to share it. From…read morethe moment I walked in, I was treated differently in a way that felt dismissive and unwelcoming. The owner's tone, body language, and lack of basic courtesy made it very clear that I was not wanted as a customer. As a person of color, this experience felt racially charged. I have never felt so uncomfortable in a framing shop--or any shop, for that matter. I left without getting help and will not be returning. I hope the owner reflects on how they treat customers and understands how damaging experiences like this can be.

Came here to get a poster printed. They have a great selection of frames to choose from and…read moredifferent finishes for your printed product. The only issue that occurred was that there was a kink when they wrapped my finished product. So when it was unraveled you could see the error and creases. They were kind enough to reprint it free of charge, but then the associate tapped the poster to cardboard directly on the front side of the new freshly printed ink. I didn't want to deal with it anymore so I left and took my time unpeeling the adhesive so it wouldn't tear my poster.. Overall, this place is great if you need something printed and at a decent price. Just know there is a wait time and check your product before you leave!

I've been to the Shattuck Ave Pegasus a few times, but there was something about this location that…read moreI loved. I walked out with only one book, but it could have been a dozen. Maybe they get a better selection of used books from the neighborhood? Or perhaps I prefer density in my bookstores. Whatever the reason, I left there without having looked at half the store, because that would have been another half hour at least. In summary, great selections, a layout ideal for bookworms, and a friendly neighborhood vibe.

So I signed up for a class which was only $35 even though I didn't really know what to expect. There were three other ladies in the class with me. I got there early to get the materials that I needed and added a cute sticker with it. There was a 10% discount on my purchase for taking the class. The class helped me understand how to crochet so much better than any YouTube video could do! I will likely be back for the B class.
