This store has been opened since July 2021 and this morning was my first time in checking it out…read more My hubby gave me their flyer that were placed on his windshield along with the Juice store flyer as well. I had my hubby mapped it and told me it was in the same shopping center with Aldi & IHOP. Came in and was greeted by Evan. I looked at every aisle and their goods were different from your usual dollar/99c stores. Price range from $1.00 and up. It's a small store but packed with stuff. They even sell all sorts of balloons ranging from $1.00 to $2.99 plus the helium fee. I bought a paper tablecloth for Thanksgiving and a candy bar. Go check it out! You never know what you'll find.

I very much enjoyed my visit to this store. It's a good place to come get party supplies, craft supplies, and other house hold goods. I'm so happy with all I bought today, including the cute stickers I found! Accessibility 4.5/5 stars: Surprisingly, this store is easy to get around. While the store is small and may be hard to navigate if there are a lot of people, the clean and organized isles are easy to get through. The shelves are not very high up so I could reach most things. But I'm sure the employees will be kind enough to help if one needs it!

They setup a…read moreL-shape table and a few staffs standing there teaching the visitors how to make flower with color fabrics. At first, I was standing on the side watching them. It looked very interesting so I decided to sit down and had some fun! One of the staffs, she already started teaching a younger girl (about 12-14 years old) and I sat right next to her . I felt being discriminated by the staff's attitude towards me. I wasn't sure if it was because the younger girl's age or because her parents were with her. For example, the staff would give her very detail instruction and even demonstrated how to do it. When it was my turn, she wasn't really put in effort to teach me. It was my first time learning how to do this too!! When I asked her questions, her reply was, "you can do whatever & be creative....."?? Huh? At least show me how to do it first , once I know it, I can be more creative later. When the younger girl and her parents were ready to leave, she told them about the company and give them a company brochure. I thought now she would have more time to focus on me. I was wrong... she started chatting with another staff about taking lunch break?? I was struggling how to make the fabrics look like "flower"!! I asked her, "I am having hard time making a flower shape???" She said to me, "You will get there eventually.....". Really??? If that is the way she is teaching the class, I will never recommend anyone to go there. When I stood up and ready to leave, she didn't talk about anything about the company or even gave me a brochure. I was very disappointed how different she treated me. I regret that I didn't ask for her name because I think it is important for the business owner, Elena Lai Etcheverty, to know about how her staff treat people differently. All her staffs represent the first impression of the company.

Visiting the art center in San Marcos as an individual or with a group. 3. Coordinating an event. I coordinated an event with them. They have a 6000 square foot warehouse very close to CSUSM on Industrial rd. It's easy to miss. Upon entering I was blown away by the plethora of art supplies. The people who work there will gladly give you a tour, explaining how everything was donated. I met Elena at CSUSM during while she was recruiting volunteers to make "letters of hope" for young women in the hospital with anorexia and for women in homeless shelters. I was intrigued, sat down and made a letter. I asked questions about the charity and I was blown away by the generosity of others. This meeting seemed like it was meant to be. I was planning a fundraiser event and needed a venue. Elena gave me her information and before I knew it I was planning a fun run and art project event with them. I mainly worked with Libbi, as Elena was busy. Libbi was so kind, helpful and was always on the same page as I. Having an event with Charity Wings was a WIN-WIN situation. I planned on charging for my event and had hoped for more in attendance. We didn't end up making any $ to contribute my specific charity, but we did donate to the Charity wings foundation with 25% of our proceeds. With that 25% we had access to the 6000 sq foot warehouse. We made a collaborative art project. We had a large picture and then small papers that each participant could decorate to add to the larger picture. They set out glitter, buttons, feathers, beads and markers to play with. Libbi and a few of the other staff took care of everything inside the warehouse and gave me free reign of the outdoor space, which is HUGE. We had a bounce house and two monitor speakers playing music. Someone participated in the fun run and suffered from heat illness, and they kindly took care of him until he felt better. Libbi is quite motherly. If I ever plan on having another event, I surely will do it here. Again, it's a Win-win situation. Stress free for sure. So for the other experiences, if you have a non-profit organization, you are able to go here and do art for free as a group, simply call ahead and plan your event. For other individuals: $10/hour regular adult, $8/hour student. They also have membership options $5/hour or $20 per day With admission you get access to all art supplies. This is definitely the place to go if you want to try out a new medium. The staff will guide and assist you as much to their knowledge will allow. They have pottery, metal working, paints, scrap booking, ect. They even have artists rental areas... I can't say anything negative about this place. I hope to work with Charity Wings again soon.

Kathy herself is an amazing potter the entire studio is full of people who truly know what they're doing and willing to share their gift and talent with you.

I went back to the store simply asking to exchange the damaged items--not even for a refund--and was shocked by how I was treated. The store manager was beyond rude, dismissive, and completely unwilling to help. I explained that the items had just been purchased and were already broken, yet I wasn't even allowed to exchange them for undamaged ones. What should have been a very simple customer-service issue turned into an unnecessarily frustrating experience. I shop at Hobby Lobby regularly and have spent plenty of money there over the years, so this was especially disappointing. I understand stores have policies, but there is no excuse for treating a customer rudely when they are simply trying to resolve an issue with damaged merchandise they just purchased. Unfortunately, this experience has made me seriously reconsider shopping at this location again. Management should be setting the example for good customer service--not making customers feel like an inconvenience for bringing back merchandise that was sold broken.

The Bridgewater Candle Company helps feed children around the world. This shop also carries the Farm House Fresh (FHF) skincare line. I love their sumptuous lotions! The interior is festively decorated for Christmas and chock full of a variety of unique gifts like jewelry and items for children. It is a little pricey but not over the top. I spoke with Kelly, who was working at the counter. She was so friendly, welcoming, and sweet and we chatted for a bit. She explained that they also have classes for crafts like jewelry making & candle making. It's something I'm interested in exploring further. She let me know that Angie owned the shop and there were challenges when the pandemic hit. I'm so heartbroken that so many small businesses were adversely impacted. I love supporting small businesses. Like I told Kelly small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. They have a prayer request wall. I submitted a request along with the myriad of requests already hanging. So much prayer needed in these times. I thought that is so cool & gracious on the shop owner's part. What a blessing! You can tell that children find the shop magical! They were awestruck by many of the items on display. Hearing their squeals of delight brought joy to my ears & warmth to my heart. It is a feast for the eyes. It's decorated so tastefully, it's organized, clean and bright. I couldn't help myself and made a few select purchases for gift giving. Don't take my word for it! Come & check it out for yourself! Please support this small business. I can't wait to return.

If you've never done rug tufting before, I recommend going for one of the smaller sizes, because it took me quite a long time to finish my "small" canvas. You send the staff designs ahead of time and they review it and confirm whether it's doable as a rug design. When we got to the studio, the designs had already been prepped at the stations. We got a quick lesson on how to use a tufting gun, got to pick our yarn colors, and got started! I actually found it to be pretty challenging, but at any point if you need help, the employees are super friendly and will assist you. Really fun, 10/10 experience!

It's located in the mall toward the outer edge, so it's actually really easy to access once you park, which was nice. We did decoden art and got to decorate a photo frame, a mirror, and a keychain. The lady working there showed the kids how to get started and explained what to do, and then it was really up to them to get creative! They could go back and forth and choose from all the different little charms and decorations they wanted to use. There were SO many to choose from, which made it even more fun. The whole experience took us about an hour to an hour and a half from start to finish, and the kids got to take home their own unique pieces of art that they created themselves. This is such a cute place with so many different types of crafts to choose from. Even if you're not there to do a craft, they have lots of adorable things you can buy as well. I would definitely recommend Tutu Fun if you enjoy decoden art, crafts, or just want something fun and relaxing to do. It's a great activity for kids, birthdays, or even just a creative day out. We had a great time and I would definitely come back!
