First off, I must say, it is easy to miss this little place! When you turn right on Station Ave…read more(coming from Lancaster Ave from Philly) it's on your right, next to the train station parking lot. My GPS turned me around a bit leading me out to the next street. Ok the review: I came here through a party my friend gave. It was for the back room but spilled into the main area since so many people came! There were only two ladies working with us and I felt a little bad because everyone asked so many questions. The ladies patiently answered, even though some of them were the same. I really had fun and love the concept of choosing a pottery piece to paint. There were many pieces to choose from and ranged within the $7-$25 range, depending on the size and carving details of the piece. A whale mug was about $16, a small owl bank was about $14, etc. I was fortunate to have a coupon for the $7 studio use fee, thanks to my friend giving me a heads up. You pay for everything upfront and they write your info and pottery choice on a form. However, I was a little disappointed to find out I would have to wait a whole week to get my pottery piece. I wished the ladies working there told us the process before we started our creations. In any case, the following week I got my piece and it was packaged in a paper bag wrapped in more paper. It came out so cute! My colors were very vibrant. I totally had fun painting my piece and I would definitely set up a party of my own here. :-) This would be great for a Ladies' Night or Little Girls Day! I noticed when I picked up my piece, it was pretty quiet during the early afternoon on a Tuesday, so I assume it's a great time to come for a peaceful experience. ;-)

But walking in and becoming a customer has allowed me to discover an eclectic emporium of artistic curiosities that's organized and crafted by a cool old couple. I curve to 4 stars just because a lot of the art & craft items inside do yield a bit of a hefty price tag, especially for my favorite Day of the Dead items. But whether you're looking for craft jewelry, something new & exciting to hang on your wall, a new coffee mug, a fancy housewarming gift, and then some; you'll find it here. It's especially perfect if you need to shop for someone as eclectic and quirky as my mom is. PPF also curates a number of the main line artistic events that go on, and does a number of good sales that you'll only find out about off their Facebook and newsletters.

Needle Me is one of her favorite places. According to her "It's one of only 3 reasons why I come to Havertown". Marcie, the owner, is a very warm, engaging woman who really knows her business. She earned my respect when she urged FDC to reconsider a very pretty but rather challenging piece, even though that meant she didn't sell it (and it was not inexpensive). I love small businesses owned by people who truly love what they are selling. Their shop becomes more than just a place to exchange goods for dollars, it becomes a haven, a celebration, a place for learning about that which they love. Needle Me is one of those places. Who knows, Marcie might just get me to pick up the needlepoint stuff. Nah.

It offers a wide variety of canvases and a beautiful selection of threads for beginners like myself or the more experienced. The canvases and threads are priced at all price points; she also has many ready made kits to chose from.

She went in today to look around & find something else she liked better. She was told could only exchange for 2 weeks. That is a very very short exchange window. I am sure she would have ended up spending more money on whatever else she choose today. She said there were 2 workers & they were so rude to her. Have always found cute things in this store but won't be shopping there ever again. Very disappointed. Wish they had verbally told me about the 2 week window originally when I asked & I probably would have only bought 1 pair of earrings & not spent $100 on 2 pairs as I often have different taste from my daughter. I knew if she came in to exchange a pair she would have found something she liked better. I just don't want others to have the same bad experience we did.

We chatted for a moment and she then ran to the back and retrieved a little goodie bag of samples for me! We then continued to chat about my skin and different products, she was so knowledgeable and gave me a few more samples per the items we were chatting about- they were higher end and expensive and she wanted me to try before I committed to buying. She was never once pushy and I never felt pressured into buying something. She was so sweet and knowledgeable! She even gave me a hot tip about when a certain brand might go on sale! Her name is Sophia and I would STRONGLY suggest giving her a visit in the beauty section. I've never had such a wonderful experience like this in a drug store and it was just so amazing. I told her I could wait to go back to visit her again. She clearly really enjoys what she does and believes in the products the store is selling, and cares about the people coming in there. On top of that I've had other wonderful experiences in there with the pharmacy. I take a daily prescription medicine and a few months ago I was having an issue with my insurance but needed my script refilled. I went to the pharmacy hoping I could maybe just buy a portion of the prescription out of pocket- assuming it would be crazy expensive. After I explained my situation to the pharmacist she was so helpful and understanding and found a way for me to afford the medicine I needed and even found a discount code to make it even more affordable. I was so grateful for her help! Keep it up everyone!
