If it weren't for Facebook and their events I wouldn't have ever discovered this crafting studio on…read moremy own. Gotta love the power of Facebook! Since I "liked" their page I've been meaning to check them out. It took me awhile but finally got there last Friday night for a book reading/crafting event for kids for $5 I knew a little about the business and what they offered from Facebook but didn't really understand the concept till I was there. You can craft here a number of ways. On their walls they have tons of completed projects that can be customized just for you. Mainly the trendy graphic signs and such. For a fee they provide all the supplies, crafting space, and additional materials (glues, etc) as well as instruction. For graphic signs you pick from their enormous supply of specialty papers and they'll cut out the design on their circuit machine, provide instruction than you complete the project. You can customize the print, size, font, papers, and the backboard. You *may* even be able to bring your own design to them to see if it's something they can do. The crafting space is spacious and cozy - the perfect space to connect with friends and socialize while you craft. An added bonus is they do the clean up! While the projects on display are not for sale they are priced so you know how much it will cost to make. While I did feel the prices were the same or higher than buying the project premade from Etsy (for example) the experience and girls night out would make up for it. In addition to crafting on your own they offer workshops for specific projects ranging from graphic signs to string art - both for adults and children. The event we attended was a few days before Christmas. The children were encouraged to come in their jammies to hear a Christmas story, drink hot cocoa, than craft a wooden ornament. All for only $5! Our girls loved the experience and as grandparents we enjoyed that the painting, glue, and mess wasn't in our house! We'll definitely be back to craft some more.

Didn't really have any intention on purchasing anything, was simply browsing. But then I saw three or four items I wanted so I had to leave with something - a metal 'flying' owl. I apparently needed one of these in my life. The best part of the whole experience was the owner. Upon entering her store I had no knowledge of the history of Lititz, much less the building in which her shop is located. Now I know a little bit about both! If you're looking for decently priced pieces, a warm atmosphere, and a friendly face when so many people seem the opposite these days, go to Zum Anker. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!!!

What initially seems like a warehouse, turns out to be many different collections of individual sellers and their wares, homemade items such as soap and wreaths, handbags and decorations. But these items aren't your mass marketed multi level business type sellers, these are made by hand with creativity and imagination. This was a great place to get a bunch of Christmas shopping done at one stop. The building has upbeat music playing and it is clean and well organised...and deceptively large, with new collections from different vendors at every turn. It appears that the vendors update their displays seasonally, so I suspect depending on what time of year I visit I will find new items each time. I will definitely be back!

My family and I stumbled across this gift shop in search of local items that are uniquely from Hershey, Pennsylvania. There isn't much shops that carry Non-Chocolate items in the vicinity. However, it was a nice change of pace from the Norm when we found homemade salsa, quilts, framed arts and various items that looked very authentic but they did carry a decent amount of Hershey products including; Coffee Muggs, Shot Glasses, Magnets & Keychains that pays homage to Hershey. After all, this is the Chocolate Capitol of the U.S.A At the time of our visit, there was only 1 person managing the store but she was very friendly and knowledgeable with the local area and did a great job in helping us out.
