This had everything you could possibly need for any type of paper craft. There was much more variety than what you could find at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. If you don't have a specific vision of what you're looking for going in, the selection can be overwhelming but I still found it fun to browse. They do have a $15 minimum if you want to use card, so be sure to bring cash if you're just planning to buy single sheets.

They have pretty much anything you could want, and are happy to demonstrate or answer questions on products. It's a beautiful store (even has a husband-waiting chair!!). And not just for paper crafting - they have an excellent selection of glue and adhesive, alone with a rainbow of ink options.

This is a 2 day market held 3 times a year. WOW was it busy. Cars were lined all the way down the…read morestreet to the entrance of the huge parking lot. Crazy. The venders were great. So much to drool over. So much!! I will have to save some for next year and spoil myself with some really neat finds. There are lots of different styles and types of things being sold. Things for children and adults. Unique items and antique items. Some true artisans making fabulous items. Expect to pay for them. There were original painted and sculpted pieces going for hundreds of dollars. And then little vintage tins for 50 cents. One range to another price wise. I loved some things that I wish I could have gotten. There were food trucks INSIDE the sports complex and coffee and popcorn and more. It was really fun for me, but I love looking at all the different and unique items. Everyone there seemed to enjoy it and were walking with bags!!! All a good sign that the venders did well. There was an Old Fashion candle I now wish I had bought. Can't stop thinking about the smell. Ahhhhhh! I plan to go again.

Held at the Franklin Sports Complex, the space is large and parking lot was full when we arrived just after 10am. There's a small entry fee, but it was well worth it to access all of these creative vendors in one space. With 150 vendors, it's impossible to list everything that's available but a short list might be: handmade soaps and candles, jewelry, paintings, postcards & magnets, upcycled wine bottle candles and glasses, repurposed metal and wood art, salvaged antiques, creative air plant displays, and much more. There's a good mix of vendors to please the young and old. My parents and I both found things to fit our tastes. There's plenty of Wisconsin love and local sports team products to check off anyone on your Christmas list. While we missed the consignment area in the front, there are hourly raffles that are free- so put your name in to win some of the objects on sale in the hall. There's a small amount of food offerings, which could be expanded! We didn't see that there were beer and Mimosas until we were leaving. That might have loosened our wallets! Looks like this event happens again January 28-29, 2017, in April, and perhaps again in November. So check their website or 88.9 Radio Milwaukee or WMSE for announcements.

Offerings range from very reasonably priced seed beads to higher end stuff like Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. Pretty much everything in between is well represented - semi precious beads, strands, accent and focal beads and plenty of tools. I find the staff here is really helpful too - I was looking for a specific chain style and while they didn't stock it, they were able to guide me to plenty of alternates.

They have models from 50 years ago in the original boxes. Lots of hotrods, aircraft, ships, military and everything in between. They have Lionel and Marx trains and parts, in cabinets, display cases, bins, and boxes, unseen in the markets for generations. They have a good number of completed models from generations ago with a few that I believe are for sale. It's dusty. It's a little damp in the air. You're going to have to do a little digging. This isn't one of the flashy, running after every trend to sell you the latest junk. This is the old school hobbyist's store looking for something from our childhood...
