When you walk into this store I hope you feel like you were transported to another universe because…read morethat is exactly how I felt. Local goods, plants and succulents, and rose quartz. It's one of the most beautiful minerals I've ever seen and they have a few pieces of it for sale. I was tempted but didn't pull the trigger. The gal behind the counter wasn't very talkative but was very kind when I asked some questions about the plants and pieces in the shop. Highly recommend you pop in while you're enjoying the downtown area of BV. Hopefully you're driving so you can stock up on some of their beautiful plants before you head out of town, and if your'e a local... lucky you!

Fun little shop. I try to visit every time we are in BV to see what new fun stuff they have. I love…read moreall of their succulents and scents. We bought some neat can-shaped glasses with BV on them a few years back and they are super well made - still look like new after using them daily and washing them in the dishwasher.

If there were 110 stars I would give them all! Traveling…read morethru BV, I needed a swift and winder desperately. I'm so glad we happened upon this shop. The owner was a wealth of knowledge, and then some. The yarns, fibers, notions, tools; EVERYTHING one needs for knitting and crocheting. I wish I could have stayed the entire day. Serendipity is my new Happy Place. I'm looking forward to our next visit to the area in May!

Ok, I have been knitting for about a year now and I have visited most of the yarn stores in…read moreSouthern Denver and this place still stands out. The downstairs is gorgeous. It is beautifully laid out, mixing yarn and gifts, crammed in wall to wall in the old converted house. Upstairs is the serious yarn stash. Floor to (low attic eaves) ceiling and wall to wall yarn! They have an excellent selection, good prices for the quality of yarn they carry and a helpful, caring staff. We drove through Buena Vista this last weekend and the only reason I didn't fling myself from the vehicle (while Shawn was trying to fly by going twice the speed limit so that maybe if he drove by fast enough I may somehow forget it was there and drag him inside with me for 3 hours of yarn shopping) was because it was closed. If there were 10 stars, this place would get them all and more. If you are ever anywhere near Buena Vista, even if you don't do yarny crafts and you just like beautiful, hand-made gifts, do yourself a favor and stop by. And another update for the yarn I bought there - the brand the lady recommended, Alpaca With a Twist, is now my all-time favorite brand of alpaca yarn (and I even attended the Great Western Alpaca Show last year). She had excellent taste and great advice.

Such a kind and gracious couple! They were so helpful in…read moreboth letting me purchase a consigned painting and in also correctly hanging it. I enjoyed their stories of how they got into this business and about how fulfilling it was to them. I will be back with all my framing needs. They're what Salida is all about.

Joe and Cindy are the best. They've framed almost everything I have up in my house and they do…read moreamazing work. I have relatives who have brought things with them from out of state to have them frame because they do such a stellar job. Just FYI, this will be more expensive than craft store framing because they use the correct supplies so that your art/photos/etc will not get damaged. If its important to you, its worth having Joe and Cindy frame it. You won't be disappointed.

I just ordered Prolific Painter's Daytripper plein-air painting easel (JBeen designed). I chose the…read morenatural wood version with the crossbars and coupler. The entire ordering process was a cinch; they're already on it! I understand that all their easels are handmade in Colorado. And from what I gathered, they have 24-hr customer service with a real human being (no bots or AI here, baby!). The fellow I talked to--Nick--seemed like a real nice, helpful guy with a great sense of humor. I got a good feeling about this. Good to know there are still some American companies who care about true craftsmanship and artistic beauty. Nice work, people!

I hung many beautiful pieces in here; one appears in photo 8 on Yelp (on the wall behind the mug). I have never received any income, not a single dollar, from the 10 works I have displayed in here. I have reached out several times to come and get my art, they have never once responded. These are terrible business owners, and terrible human beings who make their living off of stealing from artists.

Used this road trip stop to pick up gifts and a couple of goodies for myself. Several potters are represented. There appeared to be something for everyone. Fair prices. Good tunes on the speakers. Friendly, non-pushy staff. Curmudgeon artist at the door. Beautiful weather. Lots of foot traffic on the street. Scenery sure didn't suck and the Arkansas River just waiting to be explored. Perfect.
