They provide a wide range of quality art and craft supplies, friendly banter, classes, colorful examples, and occasional mountain concierge service to visitors from out of town. They raise money and awareness to help animals at the shelter. For goodness sakes, they even helped to raise the shelter! This store is a great stop when you want hard to find paper, adhesive, embellishments, dies, stamps, inks, and ribbon. It's worth going out of your way. I the Cat's Meow!

The owner was very welcoming, knowledgeable about the designers she stocks, and her little dog was adorable too! I grabbed a couple cuts of fabric to take home. She had a great selection so it was tough to pick just a couple! There was a good mix of retro/vintage, antique, modern, colorful, baby prints, flannels, etc. She was also totally stocked with notions. Prices were on par for quality quilt fabrics.

Unlike the trees from big box stores that sell you stumpy sticks. The prices are also reasonable. The guy that has worked here for many years, sorry I don't know his name, he has red hair, is super knowledgeable. I feel like he has a lot of education or experience in horticulture. He'll only sell you a healthy tree, if one of them is "sus", he will pull it back. Then he gives your fruit tree an initial trim, disinfecting clippers between trees. Smart. I always enjoy going to this nursery and after the big pine die off, I referred friends there to get some trees to lift their spirits. They had excellent success with their trees.

This review is for the Mariposa Mineral & Gem show. We attended this weekend and had a really great…read moretime! Mariposa is a bit out of the way for us, but my geology instructor told us about this and we really wanted to attend. The drive up is pleasant, with good scenery, and the fairgrounds are very easy to find. The best part was, the entire show was free! I don't think I've ever been to any other shows like this that were free. I had planned to buy things so not having an entrance fee made it even better. There were two indoor buildings completely full of vendors. They were selling jewelry, rare mineral specimens, fossils and even gold prospecting equipment. Everyone we talked to was really friendly (that seems to be how rock people are!) and no one was overly pushy. Outdoors were food vendors and my personal favorite, geode cutting! There were bins of geodes of all different sizes and you could choose which one you wanted and they would cut it open for $2. The prices were very reasonable. I ended up choosing a nice one, and I felt like a 5-year-old as I opened it for the first time. As the man who cut it said, I was the first person to see inside of it for millions of years! We plan to be back next year. I highly recommend it! Also the Mariposa State Mining & Mineral Museum was also free this weekend.
