I considered it a treat going there. Linda is not only amazingly talented she is incredibly helpful. I tell her what I want and she puts the package together without me even having to think. lol. At first I was heartbroken when I learnt she was moving her store to Orangeville but now it is even a bigger treat to go to see her at her store. I am so happy for Linda and her new digs. She still puts everything together for me,knows my taste and lets me know when a yarn she knows I will love comes in. Now my biggest fear is if she ever retires. Anyone who knits or crochets and hasn't been to Linda's is definitely missing out! She has a better stock and is far friendlier than the stores I have checked out in Toronto! DON'T MISS OUT! MAKE A VISIT OR ORDER ONLINE! DON'T RETIRE LINDA!

Located at Midland and Finch in the Scarboro Village Mall area, It's a large art workshop area…read morespecializing in deco-den. You can decorate a variety of things from phone cases, jewelry boxes to photo frames and mirrors with different silicone whipped cream and cute charms. Reservations are recommended, they get busy with birthday groups and parties on the weekend. The whole experience takes a bit over 2 hoirs depending on what you decorate and prices start from $30+. Lots of charms to choose from and you can bring your own. The staff wad helpful in every step to help teach you how to use the piping bags to decoration ideas. One downside was we were not sure how staff kept track of the cost of our charms after we placed them in our basket. The charm prices are based on size and start from 50 cents to above $5, there are some free items as well. They also offer other art diy activities.

I recently came across fluid bears on social media, and it looked like such a fun and unique…read moreactivity. My friend and I booked through an Instagram direct message and went during their "buy one, get one free" promotion for the fluid bear. The bears come in many sizes, and prices increase accordingly (keychain $22, 7" $58, 9" $68, 13" $108, 21" $168, 1 mini bear and canvas $38, and 2 mini bears and canvas $48). On the website, it also lists how long each project is expected to take. They also have pom-pom canvases and bags. The pom-pom canvases are: 8 x 8" $58, 12 x 12" $68, 18" x 18" $88, 18" x 23" $108, 23" x 23" $168, and 40" x 40" $328. The pom-pom bags are: A4 $88, A3 $108, and B5 $68. When we arrived and checked in for our reservation, an employee showed us the different-sized bears, and there were even some that were sitting or leaning back in addition to the standing ones. He gave us some time to decide, and then we also chose paint colours. We weren't sure what colours we wanted, so he showed us photos of previous customers' projects. We were set up at a table with aprons, our chosen paint colours, our bear on a tray, and even given a hair tie if we didn't have one with us to keep our hair out of the way. The employee showed us how to pour and mix our different paint colours and then pour them on our bears. The first pour was definitely the best one for me. The colours and patterns were astounding. Sometimes the paint doesn't completely cover the bear as it drips down, so they provide a plastic spoon to fill in those spots. The last thing before paying was deciding whether or not we wanted the bears to have a matte or gloss finish. Also, there's no tax if you pay in cash. We were informed that our bears would be ready for pickup in two to three days, and I did get a text informing me that our bears were ready within two days. I wasn't sure how to transport my finished bear home. It turns out that they put them in a case for you.   Overall, my friend and I really enjoyed our fluid bear experience. instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whitebear_trt/ website: https://www.whitebeardiy.com/

In this day and age, a brick and mortar hobby shop is…read morehard to keep afloat with the massive unrelenting competition of online shopping where you can not only buy anything sold in the store, but also literally every other radio control and general hobby item that exists. They also literally cannot keep up with or undercut online shops that have no real overhead to pay for. Remember, these guys have bills to pay to keep this store open all week. Don't be so hard on them. They're in it for the love of the hobby. But what they do is a good job so long as you're willing to approach them friendly. They can be a little brash, but they are also rushed and under stress. They helped me when I was new to the hobby, and even though I have mostly and almost entirely moved past Horizon Hobby products for aircraft, I try to pop in every now and then for a purchase of a new toy. I also go there for odds and ends items. I'd much rather take a short drive than wait for weeks to a month for small items like carbon fiber rod or solid metal piano wire for my projects. It's also nice to be able to just go out and buy your connectors rather than wait for them to arrive. I have read of them being rude, and It's also happened to me before, but what you need to do is educate yourself, at least a little bit so that you yourself have an idea of what you're talking about when asking questions if you're new to the hobby and seeking help. There are MANY places online to find this info, so I'll just tell you that Google is your friend, the trick is to use the correct key words while doing a search ;)
