There were siblings dropped off by parents running errands, entire families doing projects, groups of girlfriends etc. Basically you choose a piece of pottery, then a color palette and BEGIN! The staff are rockstars. Seriously. Our kidlet is inquisitive and full of energy and they were kind and accommodating. I felt timid about requesting more colors and they insisted it was no problem fetching them. You leave the project to be fired in the kiln and pick it up (fairly quickly) after. I inquired about pricing before I went. As I look every night at my lantern when the timer LED candle goes in and I remember the fun we had, it feels totally worth it!

They have a great selection of pottery, not expensive. A great couple of hours spent, then over to Nellie's for brunch.

Upstairs, a mix of some Asian pen/ paper type products and a smattering of vintage bits and pieces and a few original art prints and other artsy things- some original ceramic cups for example.

A really well rounded gift shop with a ton of variety. If you can't find a gift here, what are you…read moreeven doing? A number of items you see from popular brands like Knock Knock- sarcastic socks, notes with attitude, but also lots of stuff that looks locally inspired and / or local made. Home items, wedding, birthday, Calgary and Canada, jewelry, fun mugs. Books, the list goes on and on. Can't imagine what doing inventory here is like, but they have a really appealing and well rounded shop. Loved it!

I took a long walk around Calgary yesterday. It was a beautiful warm and sunny day and I wasn't…read moreabout to miss it. Interesting people were out, cute dogs were being walked by their owners, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Part of my stroll was down the "hip" Uptown area of 17th Avenue. What drew me into Steeling Home from my walk was an on sale desk fan that was displayed outside on a cute antique table. The price was right, but I knew darn well that it would be hard to get it in the suitcase for my eventual trip back to the San Francisco Bay Area. I might still change my mind on that.... Anyway, I decided to stroll around inside and really enjoyed exploring the many pockets of interesting stuff this relatively small store holds. It has books, antiques, jewelery, and much more in-between. The people watching was fun too, with a fresh touch of Portlandia thrown in. I'm glad I stopped in and reminded myself that marching around a new City is fun, and stopping to explore some of its quirks is even better.

I started shopping at Paper & Ink when they first opened. The owners and staff members are super…read morenice. They will go above and beyond if you have an item you can't find in their store to source it out for you. The selection of paper supplies is great .

Once they know you they will greet you by name! The staff are great and they have terrific classes. Sales and demos constantly. Great store for scrapbooking, card making, art journaling! They will DELIVER within Calgary if you order over $50 (I love this so I don't have to drive Deerfoot). They have a great online store with live inventory.

Usually we select from the already made beautiful pieces on the floor. We have purchased some amazing plant arrangements in the past - but today we couldn't figure out what we wanted for a table we had just bought. We described the table and purpose to Jane Brown. Designer at the store. Jane showed us some vase and flower options and then designed and built the perfect arrangement just for us. She helped us put something together that is absolutely perfect for our space. We couldn't have done it without her help. Thank you !

These were printed from her suggested lab, and you can see the faces are so light it's hard to see. I was really disappointed because none of the the images of the ceremony were worth printing out ( lesson learned don't have a wedding at 4pm in the summer- it's too bright) but even all these photos ( taken in the shade) were still very light. I don't recommend this service since they don't provide re-edits and don't seem to know how to deal with outdoor weddings.
