If you are looking for access to 3D printers, laser engravers/cutters or even welding tools they have it here. Lots of hobbyists, arts & crafters and inventors.

It wasn't like fart smell or normal bathroom stink it was a real odd smell. Then when I went to wash my hands both sinks were filthy and it was dirt buildup that could cleaned with Bar Keepers friend scrubbed in it. See photos.

Such a cute little store! I was a bit fooled because the name made me think of a pet store but I…read morewas wrong. The store is filled with rubber stamps for anything you can think of. Horror, animal, music, greenery, and so much more. Anything you can think of, they will have it. The selection is phenomenal. Karen, the owner, is loved by all and past customers will send in designed cards that they made with there stamps they bought at the store, which is really cool. The letters are adorned to the walls and ceiling to give you some instant inspo. If you are a crafty and enjoy writing letters, this is the place to go. It is unique and one of a kind.

Kind of reminds me of the ole Woolworths, but not as diverse…read more More crafts & household odds and ends, than Hobby stuff, but it still useful for some items, like doormats. For some odd reason, they typically have many types of doormats and various other "thing-a-ma-gigs", like analog wall clocks. It is best to go when they have a 50% off sale, and then you can save. They do serve a diverse crowd, and one can see Cal Poly students of all types, including international students. The younger crowd goes mostly for dorm furnishings, while the older locals go for fabric, plastic flowers, and crafts. The service here is really nice at checkouts, but you can feel kind of neglected in store...but not as forgotten as in many Big Box or discount stores. As far as where one wants to shop, it is not like Amazon has moral superiority, over here. At the very least, HL does let you touch the items that one contemplate getting. This is more important when one wants to hang a clock in ones living area for example. Many clocks and other items have deceptively rendered near-fake pictures on Amazon for many items, not to mention fake reviews. It is kind of fun to stop in here for targeted missions that could also include World Market, Nordstroms, and off course Sprouts. If one is on a discount mission, then the nearby Ross's, Five Below, and a short drive to the nearby TJX, Home Goods, Dollar Tree, & Grocery Outlet can take up a whole weekend of time.

This is such a cute and adorable shop- and there's a cat who lounges in the back area! I didn't realize that this bead shop also sold crystals and had a pretty great selection & variety.

There was a nice selection of plants & pots available and not gonna lie, it was very tempting to bring a plant home.

So rude didn't talk to me at all I asked if they have quilting classes " I don't need them just trying to get a convo going and make a connection" no was her answer, oh I'm new here and been looking for a good fabric shop! Her answer... your total is 31.85...: ok thanks bye..:: I miss big stores!! They train their workers properly! They are helpful and affordable! There's a reason these lil stores don't survive and my last experience is exactly why!my son seen a quilt in the window he wanted I went online and goind all the fabric and soent over $200 on it, could have went to the if they were nicer! I buy probably $400 in fabric A MONTH could have went to them but they don't want new customers. She was nicer to a woman that was clearly a regular. What a pos person to treat new customers like that! DO NOT GO HERE!! Over priced and RUDE!!

I went in today looking for a specific tool, I heard two women talking toward the back of the store and neither of them seemed to notice (or perhaps not care) that I was in there. I walked around looking for my tool, listening to one of them tell the other about how she won't respect her son's boundaries but expects her mother-in-law to respect hers (eye roll). I finally approached them to ask if they had what I was looking for; she told me "no" and turned back around to her conversation. Not even a hint of interest in helping me find an alternative or suggestions for where I might be able to find what I needed. Abysmal customer service. Would rate 0 stars if given the option.
