Obviously, I'm not going to pay for the class twice and ask to be reimbursed later. I called FFG and left 3 messages. No return call. So finally I sent an email. Turns out their phones weren't working (no one had gotten my messages) in addition to their website not accepting the Groupon voucher. I finally got my class booked and made my fairy garden- success! The class was great and the woman who helped me (one of the owners) was super kind. If you are looking for a unique addition to a home or garden decor collection, this is a great place to go. Just be careful with communication! (communication and organization does not seem to be this business' strong suit) . Anyone

I stopped here on my way home last week. The store is laid out long-wise, with the work area toward…read morethe back. There were a few ladies there, and I think two were employees. They had music on a radio in the front and they were talking about their projects in the back, so they didn't hear me come in. I was to the middle of the store before they noticed me, and even after that it took a while to be greeted. I was just browsing, so I didn't mind too much. After I picked out a few papers, I went to the front to pay. I had approximately $15 worth of stuff, and was told that if I wanted to use a credit card, I'd have to pay a $2 fee. That is not only outrageous, I'm pretty sure it's not allow by Colorado law. I happened to have cash, so I used that instead. I doubt I'll be back for a return visit.

I have visited Artsy several times over the last year. Each time, I bought approximately $50 worth…read moreof art supplies. At each visit, I experienced the staff as rude and cliquish. My last visit, approximately 3 months ago, was especially bad. When I entered the store, I was one of two customers. The owner (Patsy?) was busy with the other customer, so I looked around. To her credit, she did ask how I was doing, but mainly spent her time talking to the other customer, who apparently had taken or was taking a class there. I have no problem with that - the other customer clearly knew her and had been there for a while. However, when I went to check out, things went off the rails. Artsy says that they accept credit cards, but when I went to pay using my card, I was asked point-blank if I could use another method, because they didn't like to accept cards. Ok, I could (and did). The owner went on to tersely explain that every time someone used their card, it cost them money. Here's where I have the problem - if you're going to accept cards, accept them. Don't browbeat your customers and bully them into using another method. Or, simply don't accept cards. The next problem occurred when I was attempting to buy several pieces of ephemera. The owner rudely told me I had "done it wrong" and that I should have filled out a form with the product number on it, so that she wouldn't have to look it up. Huh?? Ok - again, I'm willing to help out, but really - it's too much work to run your business? She did look up the numbers, and I checked out. On my way out, I went to the table where the ephemera were, and tried to find the form she mentioned. I finally did find it - underneath a basket and completely out of sight. Additionally, there was NO indication that this form should be used - the only way anyone would know is if they looked under the baskets or knew ahead of time. My older son came in while I was checking out. His first comment to me after we walked out the door was how rude the owner was, and that he was surprised she was able to stay in business. Hint? Don't bully your customers, be clear about your policies, and provide good customer service! I've given this store many chances, and each experience has been progressively worse. I will not return, and I would not recommend this store to anyone. Even the big box stores are better!

The sweet lady working there was super friendly, and when she asked if any of my purchases were gifts I was surprised when she offered to gift wrap them! I wasn't even charged extra, and she did a great job making my gift of Colorado socks for husband look extra special. My kids had a good time checking out all the neat things too, plus they have a bathroom which was very convenient for my 5 year old to use. I ended up buying a new sling bag/purse which seems very high quality, themed socks for my husband, a cute wine bottle topper that "chirps" when you pour the wine, and a "dammit doll" which I had actually been looking for one for a very long time and was super excited to finally find one! I felt for an old town/Main Street store, the prices were fair. Be aware, along with state tax there is also. "Windsor town tax" added to your bill as well.

The store itself is rather small and is laid out more for cropping sessions than filled up to purchase stuff.

It sounds like they have regular cropping sessions and classes available every month. It's nice to be able to learn different techniques from different instructors.
