We don't live in Columbia so we drove to get it a few days after they said it would be ready and it hadn't been fired yet. We went back again the next week & they explained that the glaze hadn't been properly covered on my (mug) project. So when I hand washed my mug it looked like it had cracks all over it. The next time I hand washed it the handle broke off. I'm so sad after spending several hours making the memory /spending the $ with my daughters. (Their projects did turn out ok)

Lisa was wonderful in helping us get started and there were so many great pieces of pottery to pick from. Given that we were leaving in a few days, we had decided to let a family member pick up our pieces when they were finished. When Lisa heard what we were planning, she let us know that she would try extra hard to get them done so we could take them later in the week before we left. She was able to get them done to my kids delight. They were a bunch of fun to create and I would highly recommend trying it. We will certainly be back if we travel that way again.

They have a good variety of things to paint, but me and my mom wanted something practical that we'd actually use. It was fairly expensive the plate was $27 (not sure if that's a good deal or not because I've never been here before). It's really peaceful & fun to just sit, paint, chat, listen to music, or decompress from stress. Highly recommend & I can't wait to see how my creation turns out!

This is a small very eclectic antique and arts shop just outside of "downtown" Fayette. The…read morebuilding that houses the shop is a historic location in Fayette and shows some wonderful age. The interior of the building is quite historic and is a great place to check out inside and out. Once you ate into the store you will find unique art pieces from local artists that are fun to look at (there are definitely more art pieces in the store than antiques). The store consist of a mix of pieces across many genres and ages. We did find a few unique pieces for the printers tray that we have in our home. One thing to keep in mind is that they do not take credit cards. You will have to bring cash or a check. But come prepared because they truly have something for everybody.

I still have all of it and wear it all of the time (and get a ton of compliments). I was just back in Columbia and bought some new earings, two necklaces (one for myself and one for a birthday gift for a friend) and a print by a local artist for my boyfriend. It is a great place to get gifts for just about anyone. They have a wide selection of art, jewelry, furniture, ceramics. They also have a baby and childrens section (if only I knew more babies...). The service is immpecable and their gift wrap is adorable. Now that I live out of town, I do my fair share of online shopping/online drooling. They have a great website for it!

Their ideas and designs are inventive, new and bright. This is by far, one of my favorite store for quilting that I've seen anywhere. I had to stop myself from buying the beautiful floral butter flies panels there. No,I don't need every single panel, but these panels were the most artistic and beautifully designed I've ever seen. They have the city scape material, google it on their site if you're curious. I added a photo of the finished wallhanging. They have classes that are ongoing where you learn to make what they sell. The ladies are helpful and very sweet. They allow for pictures to be taken and have plenty of quilts and other designs to make. They have vests, jackets and table runners, and anything you can think of on display. It's a bright shop and innovative style. They also sell sewing machines and repair them. Already I have a list of classes I want to take in the following year. And ofcourse, a list of panels to purchase. Go check out Appletree Quilting Center, you'll be quite pleased and amazed.
