We didn't know where to start. So, we asked for help. The young worker was so nice and very helpful. We gave her the list and in no time we had everything we needed. We would've been there just looking and looking for the things all lost. But thankfully we were in and out. The prices are reasonable, they were some items on special and we had some savings. The cashier also was very nice. She offered the rewords program and we signed up. So we can get savings. They have a big variety of art supplies. Anything you need from sketching and paint definitely you can find them there. Very great experience.

With a studio space right on Fulton, it can be easy to miss when walking by. However, once inside, it's a very roomy space! The decor is super cute, there's tons of plants, and the artwork for sale is all handmade (I didn't get pictures of all of it). I even got a sticker for stopping by. Christine also has yoga classes on certain days with payment options that best suit your budget (and I think there's a monthly option as well). There are a few chairs and a couch for lounging, and the staff member that I talked to was super sweet! Definitely a great hangout area or even just for a quick stop by to check everything out!

V Nai Mini Mall in Fresno is a small indoor mall with several Hmong owned shops. You can find…read moreclothing, accessories, fabrics, and custom pieces that feel unique and culturally specific. It has a very old school and nostalgic vibe. That said, it's pretty small and not all the stalls were open, because we visited during the Hmong New Years. The layout feels outdated and very cluttered, but the vendors that were there were friendly and welcoming. It's worth stopping by if you're nearby or looking for something specific, but it's more about browsing than a full shopping experience.

Being a B&N…read morePremium member I received an email that included a gift for my daughter since it was her birthday month back in November. The gift included a dessert of choice from the B&N cafe and the another was a free kids craft from Paper Source. I was at B&N and asked the lady at the register where I can find this place and how I can get her gift. She said it was at located at Fig Garden Village. Later, I took a trip with my daughter to this place. Saw so many beautiful wrappings, stationary items and countless cards. I browsed around the store and also found some really nice gift-able items. I ended up buying a hermonica for my daughter and had mentioned the free gift during check out. The lady who helped was kind and put together the crafts it was basically sheets of paper that can be colored. There was a variety and said that they had crayons if we wanted to stay and color it. Just decided to take it homes and she added a few stickers for her and my daughter loves stickers so she was excited. Most of the items here are priced high but It's nice to know that as a B&N premium member you get 10% off almost everything in Paper Source stores.
