There's a lot here if you're willing to dig through! There's a vintage area with tons of old, vintage papers, photographs, sheet music, postcards, photo albums, negatives, etc. Loads of scrap fabric and remnants, yarn, embroidery floss, notions, scrap paper, scrapbooking materials, stickers, stencils, even industrial supplies like foam scraps, and household materials like pill bottles (empty of course), lids, jars, storage containers, craft kits, old calendars, big bins of wine corks, pens, etc. They have a HUGE selection of old National Geographic issues, some going back as far as the 1930s. Perfect for collages or collecting. They also have a few machines like scales, microscopes, sewing machines, etc. As well as a few tools, wood and metal working items, just bits and bobs of tons of things to sort through. It changes all the time so stop in regularly to see what they get in! And the best part? It's all SO cheap and keeps all these things out of landfills (56K lbs just last year)! Upcycling FTW! Some things are in better condition than others but if you're the creative type you will be inspired by all you can find here. And since things are so affordable you can really take risks and noodle around without worrying about wasting your supplies. Want more inspo? They also offer workshops and classes to get your creative juices flowing. Swing by and check it all out!

The building is huge and they had tons of classes and items to paint separately. There were quite a few people signed up for the class and they had a few teachers helping out.

It was such a fun class and the 2.5 hours went very quick! Awesome thing to do and super fun!

This definitely made my birthday, we had so much fun. I plan to come back to take some beginner classes. I cannot recommend this place enough and plan on telling everyone about it! Thank you for helping make my 32nd birthday AMAZING!! So excited for when we can pick up our finished pieces!

I found all kinds of items from local vendors like tea, jewelry, dog treats, some really cool mystery book dates, pottery, the list goes on. You would think that because everything there is from vendors it would be a little expensive but it's not there's a lot of craftsmanship put into the products making everything worth the price! Every time I go into the store, there are either new items to look at or old items that I overlooked. If you go, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to look around because it's very easy to lose time once you get in there!

The lady who helped me find the correct matts was very helpful, but I was totally surprised when she said it probably wouldn't be cut until the next day since she was working by herself. Okay, no problem, I can come back tomorrow to pick it up, right? Wrong! I have called every day since, and it still has not been cut. Either no one is working, or they don't come in until 5 o'clock, or they went home sick, or they say maybe tomorrow, they will have someone call me. I heard that twice now, and not once has my phone rang. I strongly suggest going elsewhere. When they open today, I will be calling to see if it is finished. If not, they should refund my money so I can go to their competitor and get it done. It is where I should have gone to begin with. I cannot attach a picture since I have not received the product.

All of the possible classes are listed in their website. I would be hard to pick a favorite class. Each of the classes is taught by a different artist or expert in that class. There are 2 different areas where the classes are taught one in the back and one in the middle section. The website has a description of each class that is offered as well as the requirements that you need to bring for the class. The ability to walk out with a project that you learned how to make is priceless. I highly recommend going to a class at My New Favorite Thing or just going shopping. Local artists each get a section to display. I will be going back for more projects.
