I stopped in to check out the retail items. I was previously in the area to dine and seen that they…read moresell greeting cards, stationery items, etc. so I wanted to check it out. The hours are on the door and they were open but when I went to pull the door it didn't open so one of the staff ran to the door to let me in. I just needed to pull a bit harder. I was on the phone but I was greeted and kinda browsed around a bit. Loved the sticker selections! Really cute and unique greeting cards! I end up just grabbing a pin this visit but will for sure check them out next time I need to refresh my stationary stock or need a card! They obviously do framing as well! Looked like they had a lot to offer for frame options.

I've found the pricing to be as expected contrary to the other review on here. I've picked some books myself doing window shopping, but asked for a recommendation from a staff member and she suggested Running with Sherman - I was a bit skeptical but can attest that it was a tremendous book. Would recommend both the shop and the book. A nice place to check out if you're in downtown WBL. It would be cool if they had a space to hang out and read or for books clubs etc. I'd love to see that addition - not the space since I don't know how that would be possible, but a book club. Could be at Anchor coffee down the street - another local favorite.

Gorgeous, beautiful store. I adore this place. I will be coming back. Art heaven. I love the staff,…read morethey are so helpful and sweet and patient and willing to work with you for as long as you need. They have an awesome selection of art supplies, they had everything from homemade paper to fountain pens. This is a gem of a store and so welcoming. You can tell that the staff are artists. Prices fit the products well, but they are a bit high. Granted all good art supplies are expensive these days. I would love to work here if it wasn't in St Paul. I love this store and I absolutely recommend.

We liked the selection of books and gifts available. They have a nice selection of children's books, for both young and old. For adults, they have classics and contemporary, fiction and non, cooking, history, etc. Plus, a clearance section! I was really intrigued by the gifts - candles that went with certain books, like, Dune, possibly Lord of the Rings (I can't remember), and they also had puzzles that were book themed. I would definitely come back, likely to get a few puzzles for my puzzle loving family, and to see what books the staff is currently recommending.

Sadly, if not, you're NOT the framer for me:( It is so evident when people enjoy (or are passionate about) their work
