Cafe Crop was a rare scrapbook find! I so wish I lived closer (4 hours away), because I would be there all the time creating PaperArt, laughing, and talking! Big space with lots of "indie" products that you will not find at the big box stores Cool "kits" that they put together for classes and create extra to sale those who cannot attend class. The kit has all products and instruction sheet. I bought a Graphic45 Christmas Lantern & Accordian Fold Tag Albion. Even the directions are gorgeous!! Color-printed with step-by-step guidance, instructional pictures and supply list (which you don't need if you buy the kit!!!). These are definitely a keeper for other projects. Pretty, pretty, pretty!! Lots of table space with an open invitation to stop by and scrap any time. I LOVE that idea. What a great way to bring in and build relationships with clients. Full coffee bar for those who enjoy a hot cups while scrapping or shopping. Another winner!! No wonder this satire has brought in specail classes from Graphic45 and had the amazing Finnabair visit their shop, hold a class and leave them with a gorgeous Finnabair original. I was drooling (on the inside)! Give them a chance when you are in the area, you will not be disappointed.

The first time I experienced this, which was 10/4/25 at around 10:30am, I picked up my balloon order and they started to fall down by about 2am the next day.

I'm entering a pic of how they looks already. I'm just confused how dollar tree balloons stay up for months, no exaggeration.

This is more of a 3.5 rating than a 3 based on my experience as a whole…read more My overall first impression was okay. I stopped by one Saturday and asked for quotes on diplomas. The lady working there said she couldn't give me a quote because she needed to see the actual diploma even though I gave her a rough estimate on the size. Okay, that's fine. I live nearby so I went home and brought it back. She said it would take about two weeks for my framed diploma and I would get a phone call when it was ready. Well... I wait and still didn't get a phone call. I finally call the place and spoke to one of the men who does the framing. I ask him what the status of my frame is because it felt like it was a while ago that I took my diploma in for framing. He tells me that he's surprised that someone never called me and also told me it was ONE MONTH AND TWO DAYS ago that I dropped off my diploma but it would be done in a week. Guess what? Still didn't get a phone call and I had to call again to check the status. They said it was ready, so I finally pick it up! After over a month of waiting and I get my framed diploma. When I get home, I noticed that there were little spots of dirt and little pieces of hair or something in it. Thankfully they were nice and said they would be able to fix it and clean it up, but the experience in general was not the best.

It's a bright and inviting space with a unique way of accessing fabric, fat quarter swatches of each print are hung, with a numbered tag, on the wall and they'll run to the back to fetch the yardage for you. It reminded me of furniture shopping and piling all the swatches on the table while you agonize over colors. The only downsize is swatches are hung by color not collection which could make things a bit more difficult to find or identify. They carry high quality quilters cottons with a wide selection of prints and blenders mostly modern if I had to say their emphasis and a small section of batiks. They offer long arm services and classes which are just getting started back up again after their brief closure from Covid. Certainly a must stop if you're an avid quilter.
