My mom and I went to Corks & Colors and ended up painting mugs. We thought we'd be there for an…read morehour, but it easily turned into three because we were so relaxed and having such a good time. They have a great variety of pieces to choose from, and the whole environment feels cozy and creative. The only thing I'd mention is that the music kept shifting from loud to soft, which was a little distracting. If you're sensitive to sound, sitting outside might be a better option next time (the outdoor seating was full when we went). Overall, we loved it and will definitely be back. It's such a peaceful way to spend an afternoon.

I stopped in at Christmas time to pick up a custom dog collar for my fur baby and ended up scoring a handmade metal angel for my tree as well. There are classes available frequently (check the facebook and website for details) for painting, jewelry making, etc. Additionally, this shop allows for other vendors to come in for a pop up event! I will definitely be visiting again. I can't wait to see what is there next time around.

Meh...the store is really pretty, all sparkles and shiny. But not all that glitters is gold…read more The problem seems not to be the lack of beads, but staff. I believe that the shop is owned and run by a mother/daughter duo. However, if there are other staff working in the shop they're totally unknown. I've been shopping here since they opened but the shop always seems understaffed. When the owner is in she is attentive to her customers but that's about it. Many times I've gone in and no one has been at the counter instead people have been at the tables in the rear room talking and chatting. However, you don't know who works there. The last time I went in, Sunday, October 17, no one even acknowledged that I was there. I walked the store several times looking for something in particular but since I wasn't sure who it was that was working in the shop and who was a customer I didn't ask for any help. That seems to be the constant in the shop. It's great that they're so friendly if you are friends with the staff because otherwise...who knows. I haven't taken any of their classes. I don't think they have a great deal of variety for settings or findings, but they have a lovely selection of beads. Prices are a tad bit higher than across the street at Gifts of Avalon but they are a good balance to Gifts of Avalon. They carry similar beads, some of the same, but they have a bunch of items that aren't the same which is nice to create variety in Gainesville.
