My bf surprised me with a calligraphy class and it was so much fun! Karen was very welcoming and…read morewas so great throughout the process of the class. She made sure everyone could write whatever letter we were on before moving on to the next set of letters. I loved that she went one on one with everyone to make sure we got it down and to answer any questions we had. She showed us how to write the letter if we didn't quite get it and gave us extra paper to practice for after as well. It was great we got to practice writing an envelope address which was fun and to see how much we learned that day. Her home was lovely, and it was so nice she had little snacks and mimosas for us during our halftime break. It was truly a nice experience and I can't wait to learn more on my own. Thanks Karen!

Karen is such a sweetheart and wonderful teacher! I enjoyed her class and look forward to other…read moreclasses in the future. I have been wanting to learn calligraphy for quite some time but was always intimidated by it. All my fears have left and I am ready to just practice practice practice. Karen provides a unique calligraphy pen and a folder of everything you need to practice all your lettering at home after her class. For 3 hours we practice all the different letters in upper, lower case letters and numbers. I love the intimacy of her classes and how she is able to help you with your calligraphy and also gives you tips to improve. At the end of class we practice everything we have learned on an envelope. Thank you Karen for opening your home and providing us food and drinks! Your class was in such a loving environment it was so enjoyable learning.

I was looking for a cultural element for the Lunar New Year Dinner event I was hosting at our…read moreAssisted Living community. I found Picasso online and booked him. He was polite, courteous, professional, and accommodating during our email exchanges prior to the event. I was a bit uncertain as to what to expect, but upon his arrival to our community, Picasso promptly exceeded my expectations. What an amazing talent! The line to see him was long, and even though I only booked him for an hour, he stayed past the scheduled end time to ensure everyone received a piece of his beautiful art. It was the perfect way to share the Chinese culture at our event. I will definitely contact Picasso again in the future. Picasso, thank you for sharing your amazing talent with our residents, families, and staff. You were the highlight of the evening!

We were absolutely delighted with everything Heidi did for us! From start to finish, the experience…read morewas a dream. Heidi was able to provide us with EVERYTHING from our stunning invitations to our cocktail napkins, a custom logo and even little sugar waffers that we put on top of the espresso martinis! In the beginning, Heidi really took the time to understand our likes/dislikes and our vision. She crafted each piece with such care and attention to detail. The logo, invitations and menu designs came out even better than we imagined - modern but timeless and every element reflecting us as a couple. We've received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful everything looked. Heidi's work set the perfect tone for our big day. Plus, she handled every last tweak and question with such warmth and patience - nothing was too much trouble. Heidi addressed and mailed out all of our invitations, including the 50+ that were going to Ireland. If you're looking for wedding stationery that's not just beautiful but made by someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further. Would recommend Heidi Davidson Designs a million times over!

This is a smaller store, but they have a bit of every kind of art supply you need here. I found…read morethis Blick shop as I was in the neighborhood, and I'm glad I stopped in. I was greeted by the cashier and also by another staff lady while I was browsing in the aisles. The store itself is nicely organized and if you test any of their pens, pencils, or anything like that, they have a separate tray where you can place them. I'm thinking they probably do a sanitize thing with them, which is cool. I will have to stop in again sometime!
