Prints, wall hangings, pots, furniture, macrame, unique vintage pieces and small decor. Located in the historic downtown Meridian block, you can jaunt over to other local stores and check off a lot of local shopping! The lay out is beautiful and each section of the store is nicely displayed, helping you imagine how each piece could fit into your home. I found so many things that I wanted but as I was Christmas shopping, I sadly walked away with nothing for myself. They also carry a few handmade pieces from local makers. I found a few prints and hand thrown pots that I loved. Run by a mother and daughter duo, this awesome new business will delight any lover of vintage wares. Enjoy!

The Coolest Gift Shop in Boise!…read more We absolutely loved Mixed Greens -- it's hands down the coolest store for unique gifts and fun novelties! Every corner is filled with creative finds, local treasures, and items you won't see anywhere else. It's the kind of place where you go in "just to look" and end up wanting everything. And the gift wrap station deserves its own shoutout -- it's seriously the coolest! Such a thoughtful and fun touch that makes the whole shopping experience even better. If you're in Boise and love discovering one-of-a-kind gifts, this store is a must-visit!

Their jewelry selection is very minimalistic and simple yet elegant from different vendors. We ended up getting the cutest Toy for our dog that's a shape of Idaho holding a cute little potato and a few stickers for our truck. You need to check this store out in Downtown area if you are looking to pick up some gifts for friends or family the quality of the items is def great and not cheap. When we checked out the girls up front were very friendly and helpful.

Located on 6th street, this shop is your one stop shop for all things Idaho, handmade and incredibly special. You can find blown glass, textiles, soaps, lotions, chocolate, peanuts, ornaments, shave oils, cutting boards, games, mugs, vases, ornaments and so much more. Most of my favorite makers were there (think Ladybug Press, Sawtooth Glass Project, City Peanut Shop, All Spun Up, Sage Woolens, etc.) It felt like a holiday craft bazaar that is open year round and housing the very best products. I found the selection to be varied and affordable. You could find things for men, women, children, pets and even yourself! It bears repeating that you are paying for handcrafted, small-business wares. It is not going to have the same price tag as a manufactured good from a big box store. It will be a higher price tag. I like to think that I'm paying for a story. My purchased items contain all the love, hope, and hard work that each maker poured into their product. I love to give handmade stuff for gifts and I think they are appreciated a lot more than something I could ship from Amazon. The shop keepers were lovely. I think they are some of the makers, but it was so very busy when I went in that I didn't want to bog them down with conversation. If you are looking for special presents, this is the place to go. Enjoy all the treasures.

Having recently rekindled my desire for photography, I've taken Heidi's Photo 1 and Photo 2 courses. The one on one or classroom learning experience just can't be beat. Questions can be answered right away for any confusion you may have. Heidi does an excellent job of clearly explaining the process of photography. I've a much better understanding of how to correctly use my new camera, and I keep practicing to put my new knowledge to better use. I hope to one day take the analog course and delve back into actual film! But wait, there is more. Not only can you do photography here, you can also take art painting lessons, and summer camps for kids are also available. Heidi also does an introductory course using Adobe's Lightroom for editing your digital photos. Lenses and Brushes is located in the lower level of the Mercantile building, and the easiest door is located on 8th street directly across from The Warehouse. Check out the website for all of the courses and activities offered, and keep watch on the Facebook page for photo gathering and happenings.

A great way to spend time with friends and family, and seriously, this makes SUCH a cute date. It's so simple. You are not required to make a reservation (they actually do not take reservations at this time). Upon walking in the first thing you'll probably notice is the enormous selection of clay pieces. They range from very small knick-knacks to large vases. It's totally affordable too, priced as low as $8 to as high as $80. Pick your piece, paint it however you like. The hardest part will be waiting the week-long period for it to be fired. My husband and I had so much fun picking our piece, choosing the colors and applying them! I was so stoked to pick them up! The glaze goes on very light, because the clay sort of "absorbs" it, so I didn't really know how my creation would turn out. What an awesome surprise! My piece is the ghost plant ($22.00) and my husband painted the plant pot ($20.00). We are totally in love with A Way with Clay. I'm already setting dates up with friends and family so I can bring home more adorable creations and to have fun! I hope this small business THRIVES. It deserves every single award and all the recognition in the world. Thanks for bringing such a fun activity to the Treasure Valley, guys. I can't wait to be back!

How could you not be curious about what's inside? This store is stunning. Anything vintage, shabby or beautiful, you can most definitely find it here. Lots of fun refurbished furniture. There was a gorgeous full length mirror for sale but it was about 400. I would have gotten it if I actually had room for it and if it was a tad cheaper. 400 is a grip to spend on a mirror you don't have room for. But as pretty as it was, I would have made it work! But I'm sure my husband wouldn't have been impressed with the price point. There's a little bit of everything here. Cloths, candles, decor... It was fun checking everything out! I did see a room that I believe is for crafts or classes that you can take to make stuff. I know making shabby things or refurbishing old furniture takes talent! I think it would be fun to take a class here. Get to explore and use your creative side. This store is really fun! They truly have a little bit of everything. The music is going and is super loud. I appreciate the loud music, keeps you energized and happy while you're shopping. They are on the pricier side so that's something to be aware of. Some of the furniture that's been worked on is worth every penny. It's a lot of time and money to invest in refurbishing old pieces. It was fun checking everything out. I know I'll be having shoppers regret not buying that mirror or the beautiful chandeliers in the front. I look forward to coming back and checking this store out again.

So this would include things like fabric sample books, carpet samples, tile samples and the like from decorators and then rubber stamps, fabric, patterns, yarn, ink, paper, frames, beads, buttons, paint and markers from crafters. Volunteers then organize and price all of this crafty goodness. Hours are limited and it's easy to find only if you know where to look. There's not really a sign -- it's upstairs inside North End Organic Nursery (NEON). There are stairs with sturdy railings, but no elevator.
