I've come here for children's art supplies, gifts, and paintbrushes. Their paintbrush selection is fantastic--I've used some for painting and even repurposed others for makeup, and they've all worked great. They carry everything you could possibly need: brushes, paint, canvases, drawing supplies like pencils, pens, chalk, and charcoal, and a huge variety of crafting materials. You'll find jewelry-making supplies, sand art, glitter, stencils, scrapbooking items, face paint, gold leaf, and even supplies for sculpture. The store is well-organized, and the staff is always helpful if you need to find something or have questions. It's a place where you can find inspiration for any creative project. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in Montrose!

Best way to describe this place is a thrift store for crafting. Discovered this place while looking…read morefor somewhere to buy yarn near downtown, and we were surprised by the variety of items on sale and the pricing. You can find almost anything in here: yarn, fabric, kids books, cookbooks, misc cards, seashells, school supplies, cds, stickers, ink pads, and a lot more. It's organized in sections but it's a lot to take in. Most things were sold by weight or number of items which was very affordable. Most expensive thing was the yarn which was $12/pound, but everything else we bought was less than $2 each. If you took the time, you could find some steals. I got a brand new jacket for my dog for $1. I'll definitely be coming back here.

There's a variety of art mediums and options for any kind of craft or project you have in mind.

The owner is very friendly and is so helpful in helping you choose the right art supplies. She'll even help you save money on products you don't really need. Definitely recommend a visit here.

I was in the area for my birthday and she gave us suggestions on what else we could get into while we were there. They also had shoes, hello kitty and larger bears to paint. The process is very personal so that took some getting used to but I found that to be the most enjoyable about it. You get one hour to decorate your bear and if you're local you have a few days to pick it up once it dries. Our bears were $85 and shipping was $15. The delivery was smooth and my baby made it to me without any issues. I named her Fern :-). I'd definitely recommend this as a fun activity that's not liquor or food focused.

It's a year round event and it shifts from morning time in the winter months and to the evening in the summer months. Most of the businesses along 19th street open up late and it's a big festival of sorts. There are artists from physical art to musical art performing. Lots of little booths and tables to display their craft. Overall, it brings this whole area to life and is worth visiting at least once. Gives you something different to do on a date.

I've seen those expensive art ones locked up, but not several of the cheaper brands. They had a lot of cute hobby equipment, but the prices were outrageously high. They didn't have much in the way of journaling and planners, which sucked, because their sticker collection was okay. Their Christmas decorations were very nice, and they were bringing out some of the Valentine's stuff already. I feel like you could get a good deal with their seasonal items, but like your everyday hobby, like coloring, painting, etc., you get robbed by them. Go to them for the cute seasonal stuff, not for the hobby stuff.
