I moved here from Seattle where they have Seattle ReCreative, a place that takes donations of art…read moresupplies and things that could be used for art. I moved to Eugene and was thinking wouldn't it be great if Eugene had such a place, and lo and behold, MECCA! It's like Seattle ReCreative but 10+ times larger! Paint, canvas, paper, folios, yarn, fabric remnants, yogurt tubs, wine bottles, plant pots, scrapbook papers, so much fun stuff to get you thinking creativity on a budget. My only suggestion is they might find a way to fill in the huge puddle right in front of their door, and that they somehow get more parking spaces!

Having heard so much about the evils of this place (I'm from Eugene, home to every Bored White…read moreSavior of Everything), I thought I'd see it for myself. I liked it. It struck me as "TJ Maxx meets fabrics & crafts", though with a notable overabundance of plastic flowers. Not sure what the deal was with that, but you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a faux carnation. Lots & lots of fairly interesting trinkets, including huge name-in-lights alphabet letters, decorative mangoes & cheese - now *that's* white - and my personal favorite: the shiny pillows. YOU MUST FONDLE THE SHINY PILLOWS. As for the apparent Christian nature of the chain, it didn't jump out at me in terms of merchandise apart from a selection of surprisingly beautiful crosses (relax, I'm a confirmed agnostic, and I'm not going to shit on someone's parade just to look "cool" for grouches). So why the less-than-perfect rating? Because the people there appear to be assholes. I expect little in the way of humanity from the ill-paid among us, but my one interaction was with an older woman who was openly glaring at me for asking a question... in precisely the same "get thee behind me" manner I received almost everywhere during my travels in Red States. (In case you missed the hint/reference, I'm saying that she was a bitch masquerading as an acolyte of Jesus) But apart from this stupidly contrary-to-Christianity-AND-capitalism attitude, it was a fine experience there. In fact, you'd probably have a hard time getting *any* of the employees to even acknowledge you at all, so no need to worry about forcible conversions or anything... ;)

I've been in this store, but went today and it's Sunday and come to find out they were closed. The…read moretime we did go in the service was great. Greeted us right at the door and asked us if they could help us finding anything. We were looking for wreaths and they pointed us in the right. They had a great selection of wreaths as that's what we were looking for. All of them were beautiful, but overpriced, even on sale. I decided on getting one that was 1/2 off of $80. So I spent $40. Still a little overpriced. But the wreath is beautiful. Beautiful store and very easy to find stuff. Just remember they're closed on Sundays.

They've got craft items, old books, VHS tapes, clothes, and much more. I recently bought an Oregon Duck print pillow, that's handmade by the seller. I always enjoy it. The employees are always nice. Nothing special, and a little slow because they have to write down the seller ID so they can credit the right person because of so many vendor booths. But they've all worked there forever, so you see familiar faces. Prices aren't bad, if you know what you're buying. It's mostly handmade items, so you may pay a higher price because of that. I try to compare it to booths at the Scandinavian festival to see which is the better deal for certain things. It's a store I've gone to many times and will keep returning to, because I can buy craft items made by someone local. I love that aspect of it.

My experience with Michelle and Misty today at this store location left me with one of the best…read morecustomer service interactions ever. Earlier this month I bought a 12x18 frame for a concert poster that's been on my wall unframed since 2014. Unfortunately the frame that I'd bought, broke the minute I got home. Last Saturday 12/1/18 I returned to the store location to exchange the frame for a new one. Unfortunately the store was completely sold out. Michelle and Misty stepped in at this point and went way above and beyond my expectations. They offered me a new frame at a higher value because the store could not provide the same original frame. This matters, because money matters; and because I know that they did not HAVE to do this for me. It is because they understood my situation and they stepped in like true professionals. This experience and interaction left such an impact on me. I am still truly excited, relieved, validated and grateful!.

There, we found our blank untreated cutting boards with our pre selected stencils. This is a very well run and organized crafts shop. An entertaining class for the uncrafty novices as well as the seasoned pro. There is coffee and some wine available as well as soft drinks. Megan is an excellent instructor who is clear and concise as well as helpful and patient. We were walked through the application of our stencils and inks as well as the treatment and sealing of our boards. Then Megan from Charcuterie Boards & Grazing Tables took over and brought out our boxes of cheeses, crackers, fruits and goodies. We were taught how to display and arrange these foods in an artful manner on our boards. We really enjoyed the creative aspect of taking simple household items and arranging them into an outstanding and tempting display. It was a great night out for the Mrs and I and our friends had an entertaining night as well. Full Disclosure, this is actually my 2nd time doing this at this location.

This place is fun!…read more It's a great place to take the family, it works for all ages, and get a little crafty together. This time I made a mug, for my sister, with the theme from her baby shower on it. It was fun. There are stencils and all size brushes/sponges to choose from. There is also any color of paint that you could want. Pencils are provided if you need to draw your design before you paint it. I dont like to do this, I just go with the flow. :) It's convenient if you want to paint something and then go across the courtyard and grab some dinner from any one of the several restaurants in the area. Parking is easy too. Bring the family in! Your ceramics will be done in about a week and then they are yours to keep.
