It pains me to write this review of what used to be one of my favorite stores. And I was a sad as…read moreanyone when I saw they had to close over a year ago due to a fire. And just as happy when they announced they'd found a new space and were planning to reopen. I have to say, having visited there a few times now, I'm pretty disappointed. The new space is still downtown, but a few blocks west of their previous location. Where parking was free at that spot, it's metered at this one. When I think of all the vacant retail spaces in town, many with parking lots or at least free street parking, it leaves me perplexed. And the new space itself is so incredibly small and disjointed. It's separated into multiple, small rooms. Their inventory is but a shadow of its former self. And the prices have gone up. Wayyyy up. Perhaps most perplexing is the complete lack of classroom space, which they'd gone to so much trouble to add in their own space. Combined all of this with semi-surly, N95'd employees and well... to put it simply...I don't see the appeal in returning here anytime soon. For now, I miss the old Ragfinery and hope they turn things around.

Wowie! Let me start off by saying Saturday afternoons are busy!! We (My friend and I) walked in and…read morethere was a line so we were put on the waitlist and they called when there was a table open for us. We had to wait for about an hour, no worries we know Saturdays are busy. Everything else went very smoothly service was quick even with the amount of people there and we never felt rushed. It was very fun to paint and all the tools are labels and easy to read. BUT the one thing they didn't have was pencils. Thats easy to get over though with how much fun it is to paint pottery! Would recommend if you need a fun place to go.

This place was a blast! Plenty of space upstairs and downstairs for a small group of 2 or a large…read moregroup of 8 people to sit comfortably. You pick from a large selection of pottery to paint and prices are on the underside. An entire wall of paint with as many colors as you want. You come back in a week to pick up your finished piece. Staff is so friendly and helpful for first timers. They also have a large selection of tea and food to have while you paint. I absolutely loved this experience with the 5 other girls I went with. Will definitely be back to paint more pottery

This little store on James St is very well named. It's full of not just fun art (and art supplies)…read morebut tons of happiness in the form of friendly staff and adorable little surprises (like fairy hideouts) throughout the store. While they have a little of everything, this is not an exhaustive art supply store, nor does it pretend to be. But if you're looking for something fun, creative, and inspiring it's definitely worth popping in. Bonus for their used art supplies area in the back, and super cool junk journaling kits!

I had a very disappointing experience at this Hobby Lobby. I was asked to leave the store at…read moreclosing, but there were no announcements warning customers that the store would be closing in 5 minutes like many other stores provide. A simple reminder over the intercom would have been helpful and would have prevented the situation. What made the experience worse was the rude customer service from some of the staff, Gabrielle. Instead of treating customers with kindness and respect, I felt rushed and unwelcome. Customer service goes a long way, especially at the end of the day. Unfortunately, the overall experience left a very negative impression, and I hope management addresses both customer service and the lack of closing announcements to improve future customers' experiences.

I like that this art market has a wide range of prices-you can find gifts for under $20 just as easily as gifts over $200. It simply depends on what you are looking for. You can find decor for your home, walls, kitchen, or self here. They feature many different types of artists and cater to many different personal aesthetics. They also have classes where you can create some of your own art!

Look no further than Cresswell Boggs, which is practically across the street from Mallard Ice Cream, so after you are done dropping your hard earned cash at the ice cream store, take a walk over here! The stuff in the store has a lot of my favorite items by Fred, Lip Shit, Accoutrements, Douglas toys and other gag items. They've managed to assemble all the gag gifts (and some really nice ones too) under one roof. Be prepared to spend a lot of money here. The inflatable cat unicorn horn was $9.99 here and $6.99 at Archie McPhee in Seattle. But still, take into consideration that you are in a historical town and you don't have to look further than a few steps for everything zany (and not so zany). Parking is on the street and metered parking is free on weekends and holidays. I didn't know this and fed the parking meter money on a Saturday (3/25/17) until I saw the sticker on the meter. Doh! (if you see duplicate photos, pls ignore. It appears Yelp has stopped linking my previously updated photos to my new reviews)

We found precut mat in various sizes that brought the space between the frame and the photos close, but still not quite right. We then came across scrap book paper! Very reasonable and so many options! It worked out great and finally we can proudly display and enjoy the school photos instead of putting them on the fridge with magnets lol! If you have time to wander, this is a fantastic place for Getting ideas for so many organization/decorating/house projects! The staff was friendly and helpful. I should also mention, they do offer custom mats here but for this project, it was not worth the money (these are tiny photos and we will probably re frame new ones next year). They also can custom frame and mat your photos/artwork of Any size!

I urge you not to shop at Michael's . I have had a Michael's account since May of last year…read moreprimarily for frames for sporting goods and comic books . With that said for whatever reason I have had my due date set as the 13th and just found out that it's actually the 11th . Not sure if that's on me or that it was what it said on my first bill . Either way I talked to 4 people going up the ladder and not one of them was willing to even reverse 2 late fees out of 12 plus months . I will never shop with this company again or any company that isn't willing to try and help to keep a customer . They give 2 shits and their customer service is horrible . Being in the customer service industry for about 40 years I have never encountered a business like this. Also no where does it say that Michael's AKA Comenity Bank that their app is called Bread Financial which in itself is stupid . I have always called or gone onto Comenity.com to make payments yet never knowing this whole time that my actual due date was 2 days earlier asking that anyone who does not shop there or has similar problems please share this . Thank you
