Disappointing Service - I searched for years for two prints to match a third I acquired 20 years…read moreago in Europe. I finally tracked down the other two, via a museum in Austria. I had them sent to me, and took them to be framed by Artists Edge Poulsbo. The charge was almost $600 for two rather small items, but I paid it anxious to see my 3-print set reunited. I was told they would be ready in two weeks. On the day they were supposed to be done, I got a voice mail message saying the machine they used to cut the matting "ate" the mat, and they would have to reorder it, delaying finish by another week. The next week I called to confirm delivery on the day promised (Thursday) and this was confirmed. I didn't get there til Friday (I drove specially from Bainbridge Island to pick them up). The framing wasn't done. Then when I got home, I found another voice mail message saying that they had damaged one of the prints, and would try to find a replacement. The other print would not be ready until the following day. Despite ruining this rare print, and missing delivery deadlines multiple times, I never got any apology or other expression of regret on their part. They seemed to regard it all as no big deal (maybe missed deadlines and ruined prints are a common thing at their business). I demanded a refund, which they gave me. I will now try to find another print, and start the process all over again. I will certainly never do business with Artists Edge again.

Be sure to stop here on your Poulsbo trip.

I happened to be having a lunch at the Mexican restaurant next door and chose to walk into this business after I finished my lunch just because they were there. I've eaten at the restaurant next door many times and I've never thought about going into this toy store in the past. They have a lot of fun things in the store. Probably something for everyone in basic kinds of games. I settled on a puzzles as well as a Trivia game. They had a really good special going on where you could buy a puzzle and get 1 for 50% off. However, I didn't take advantage of that because I just wanted the one puzzle. The store had quite a few shoppers in, and was a bit congested. Good for the business, and expected this time of year. But, I actually was in-and-out of the store so fast that I did not spend enough time to assess all of their offerings in order to have made a really good judgment. I'm very happy they were there to support my last minute Christmas game shopping need for my family and friends.

When my 3 year old and I entered the store, we were asked what we were looking for. I said we were…read moreChristmas shopping. There was a small table with a stool next to a tower of cars. My son immediately was drawn to the cars and put a few on the table to look at them. I was looking around the store at things I could buy my son and also for anything that might delight my husband. The woman working, went over and started snatching the cars from the table my child was at. He had placed six cars on the table top. I came back over and told my son to help put the cars back and that he could only look at one at a time. I sat in the adult chair at the table and asked him which car he liked the best. (I was going to buy him one along with a Playmobil Pirates set.) The woman came back and asked if we were ready to leave. She had a horrible attitude and said that children are not welcome AT ALL TOY STORE. I cannot imagine a worse attitude for retail, let alone being a toy store so unwelcoming and rude to children. We left immediately without purchasing what we had planned to buy and as I was buckling my son into his car seat, the woman (she was older with a bad blonde dye job) had the audacity to stand at the door of the shop scowling. Never again.

The selection of pottery to paint was extensive and ranged from small ornaments to large vases and more. I am not a painter, but the staff explained what techniques to use to produce the desired result. They were very friendly and eager to help. There was a birthday party when I went, so it got a little noisy in there. It was a little pricey but there is a variety of prices to choose from and the base painting price has no time limit, so you can really take your time painting. You are told a day to come back to pick up your pottery, but I wish they called/texted when it was ready so I knew for sure. Overall, this is a great date idea, friend hangout spot, or a solo calming experience!

Handmade with Love is a combination gift shop and also an arts-and-crafts class facility. They offer all sorts of classes for reasonable prices to make fun things! Last month my wife took the crochet class with her sister to learn some basics of crotchet. But while there, she saw the "Make a glass and bead windchime" class so signed us both up. Today was the class - and I have to say it was a lot of fun! They provide all the "parts and pieces and tools to do the job" and seemed really well prepared for us. We each made our own windchime ($35 or so each - very reasonable). The instructions were simple to follow, with lots of assistance on anything that wasn't clear. I was the only guy in the room, but it was a lot of fun - I helped some of the ladies use the crimp tools to crimp the nylon line used in the windchime's construction. Loved the results - it was a fun time spent - really nice folks. Anne ended up buying another kit to take home. If you like doing crafting things, just stop in and see what's on the schedule for upcoming events - and of course they also have "pre-made" items for sale as well for home or gifts. It was a fun hour spent there today!!
