I had a great experience here after almost being warded off by bad reviews. The staff was actually…read morevery friendly and struck up some conversation with me. The seed bead selection is amazing and they had so many different sales. The sales rotate weekly. Today I got a few 100g bag of seed beads for $2.99. That was exactly what I was looking for. Their selection is bigger than Beadhive just not quite as "aesthetically pleasing" with the layout and sale signs. I didn't care, the prices were perfect for me. For $50 I walked out with a 10 pound bag. I know that because I weighed it out of curiosity.

I stumbled across this store on yelp and saw the raving 5 star reviews. I decided to give it a try. Upon entering, the store seemed small. I noticed the local handmade items and got really excited. The prices were great and I wanted to take half of everything home. As I swing over to the right, I notice the store gets bigger. Then I see yarn.. fabric. lace.. greatness! I was so excited. I almost wanted to throw my hands in the air and run around. I was touching everything and holding/looking at anything I could. This store is awesome! The fabric selection is not like your Joannes, this is quality, unique stuff. The yarn, although not a huge selection, they had everything I needed. Fun colors, good quality. I even bought this, DIY fox pillow kit. Ahh! I love it. I asked the woman at the front counter if she was the owner and she said she was. I told her how excited I was to have found the store. She was a sweetheart. Anyways - as you can tell by this review, this store is worth checking out. You won't be disappointed.

The prices are really good especially with the 1 week turnaround for a hem. I went to get my bridesmaid dress trimmed and hemmed and was calling around other tailors to have it done before I had to fly out. This place was the quickest to have it done and for a fair price! The owner was also very nice to me and explain a lot of the process as she was taking measurements and made sure it was to the length I wanted even with heels on. I would definitely come back here for my future tailor and hem needs!
