I brought a 16x24 wedding photo to be framed. I had put it off because choosing the perfect frame…read moreand matte for something so important was overwhelming. I'm glad I came to Hang Ups. I walked in, looked around, answered some questions, gave some and Ursula began pulling frame and mattes for me to compare. I was surprised at how easy it was to select the best option for the mood I wanted to capture in the wedding photo. I choose an ornate gold frame, high quality cream matte and gold fillet for the photo. It is just beautiful.

Vera Gallery is an eye-catching gallery in downtown Georgetown, TX with brightly painted pieces…read moreeasily viewable from the window. The paintings were stunning and awe-inspiring. The space is beautifully curated and honors the vibrant work of American artist Vera Neumann, showcasing original artwork, scarves, and design pieces that exude happiness, joy and delight. Browsing the gallery feels like stepping into a brightly lit world of pure joy. There's bold colors, exquisite design, and intricacy on full display. The gallery also highlights work done by local female artists. This joint collaboration celebrates artistry making for a very meaningful, community-oriented experience. We perused the gallery on a self-guided tour. There was one gallery representative available for the entire store. While we did not purchase any pieces, the artwork appeared to be of high quality and the prices commensurate with their value.

It is both an art gallery and a shop selling Vera Neumann scarves. The gallery features books about…read moreVera, as well as framed and unframed prints of her artwork, and the scarves come in a variety of sizes. The Christmas tree, decorated with scarf bow ties, is absolutely beautiful, and the staff is friendly. I bought a small archival silk scarf from Japan, made in the early 1960s. Unfortunately, it tore easily when I washed it, so I don't think it's worth the price ($40).

Kudos to Round Rock for bringing art to Main Street.

It seems as though the other art rotates. Admission is free and their only request is that you sign the guest book with your zip code so they can track where visitors come from. The space is open late (until 8 pm) on Wednesdays, so it was an easy stop-by for me after work that day. There is ample free parking in downtown Round Rock that is convenient to the gallery space.

I was so sad when they closed in The Oasis but I followed them on Instagram and they have moved…read moretheir inventory to Georgetown! Shopping was a challenge in the oasis because they didn't have the items listed online (they had an intern manually update each item in the database). But now they have moved and I'm happy their items are available online too! I got the wooden gecko puzzle which is the coolest toy ever. They have a lot more (check out the moose!) I bought some scented items for my apartment to make it more cozy. I'll be shopping online, but I'm happy the staff is so cool and their one of a kind items are still available! Imo their value is in the novelty, I enjoy how unique these items are. I spent $50 here on 2 scented bottles with some incense sticks.

She is so great with my children and her staff is so, so kind and helpful. We spend countless hours here making special art for our home and gifts for others. We have bonded so much within the walls of Ceramics N More because we paint and chat the hours away. We're always anxious to go back! This last week we painting on Sunday and had our items fired and ready to go home just a couple of days later. Such a fast turnaround too!

This ain't no "plaster fun time"!…read more Looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon? Feeling artsy? Want a great idea for a date night? Want to learn to make your own pottery? Then you have to go to Ceramics and More! This veteran, woman owned small business has become a fixture in Pflugerville for good reason. You can walk in and choose from a wide variety of "blanks" (ranging in size and price point, there's something for everybody and any skill level), to include seasonal options, to paint yourself. You leave the pottery item with them to be fired and get picked up at a later date. They can host individuals, groups and even host parties. They have snacks there too! And have a super helpful staff to help you with your project or give you ideas. And. Now. You can even learn how to make your own pottery there too with a room of pottery wheels and classes!!!

There are multiple ones scattered on the property and there are some workshops that we were lucky enough to go inside and explore with the artist. He told us about his work and showed us some works in progress. This large lot can be a bit challenging as it's outside in the brush but there's some strange and cool stuff here. Some of it is for sale but most is for the gallery. I had a fun time and there's lots to take pictures and videos of. Parking is a bit odd. We had to park in the driveway on the side of the road but it's not impossible.

Greeted with excitement, owner Rochelle of Board & Brush had me check in on her iPad. Showed me to my seat where we chatted for a bit. I saw my project in its raw form. I'm so excited to tackle this project. This is actually my second time coming so I know a little of what is expected. Rochelle does an amazing job taking you step by step and helping you. Even if you're not a crafter, never even handled a paint brush, Rochelle, and her staff are very patient, and very helpful. You start off with a raw board of pine. You're given a couple minutes to release your stress on the board. Hammering marks using chicken wire, a hammer, a mallet, and a large screw. You'll sand it lightly, and then stain it. Then it's time to stencil. Using a semi dry brush, you'll dab your brush on the stencil. Give it a minute under the fan to dry and peal the stencil off. And you're pretty much done. You get an official Bb logo sticker to complete your project. I recommend signing and dating your project on the back. Viola you're an artist! The Fancy Marshmallow Co. owner, Tina, she is such a sweetheart. She set up her beautiful marshcuterie spread. All made from scratch. Soft, fluffy, and flavorful treats. She has the cutest treats. All kinds of shapes and sizes. My favorite is the strawberry champagne. Trust me, they are amazing. Tina also brought in her hot cocoa mix ingredients and we all got to make our own bag of hot cocoa mix to take home. And we got to pick our goodies from the marshcuterie and box them up in the cutest boxes with heart printed tissue paper. Such a sweet touch to a fun class. I highly recommend coming to Board & Brush. Such a fun girls night out. They are BYOB, so it's a great group celebration. The Fancy Marshmallow, such a cute boutique, I've been several times. Tina comes up with the most delicious home made treats for all holidays and celebrations. Her boutique is the girliest cafes in Cedar Park! So darling. Check them both out. 5 stars!
