I had mentioned that her store was recommended to me by some one at another craft store (a nat'l chain). She looked at me with disdain and said all they sell is garbage and anything bought and made from there would be garbage, too. Whoa tell me how you really feel. I thanked her and left.

While vacationing this year, I found this cute yarn/felt store. If you love raw material this is…read morethe place as it has plenty to offer. It also has plenty of finished yarn and I love is that most of their fiber are local sheep and alpaca farms near the area. If you love wet felting or needle felting they have a nice selection to purchase. I wish the store was more brighter and updated as I personally felt it was a little antiquated. Most of their yarn are hand dyed by them which the colors are just beautiful. They offer classes which you can call to find out more.

The roving and yarn selection is fairly small but of high quality. Local alpaca is featured. She has a wide selection of looms and wheels available. Classes are two day affairs.

This is a quaint quilt shop. When I was there I met both sisters. It is not as big as some of the…read moreother shops in the area, but I actually like that. Most of the quilts are on a bed, although some are hanging as well. I like how each quilt was described to me. I learned about the patterns and the work put into them and even some of them I was told about the women who created them. I did wind up buying a nice queen size quilt, they also sell king size. They also sell other home made items like pillows, pot holder, wall hangings, etc.

I stopped into the Kindred Collection today to check out Lancaster Wax Company 's candle business…read moredisplay, and I am so glad I did. This place is the epitome of shop small and shop local. What initially seems like a warehouse, turns out to be many different collections of individual sellers and their wares, homemade items such as soap and wreaths, handbags and decorations. But these items aren't your mass marketed multi level business type sellers, these are made by hand with creativity and imagination. This was a great place to get a bunch of Christmas shopping done at one stop. The building has upbeat music playing and it is clean and well organised...and deceptively large, with new collections from different vendors at every turn. It appears that the vendors update their displays seasonally, so I suspect depending on what time of year I visit I will find new items each time. I will definitely be back!

What an adorable little shop in the heart of Lancaster's downtown!…read more The boy and I were in town for a wedding, and after a very late lunch, we decided to walk around and explore the area for a little. As soon as I saw the window of Details, I knew we had to stop. From housewares to candles to cocktail napkins and even hanky panky undies, this shop is a gifter's delight! I picked up some napkins for an upcoming party and the boy scored a handmade hand puppet for friends of ours who are expecting. We weren't looking for anything when we walked in, but this would be a hard store to leave empty-handed. There's seriously bound to be something for everyone inside. We hit them right towards closing, so we were the only customers inside, but the three women who were working seemed friendly -- one was super helpful when I was searching for additional napkin sets. If you're looking for a great hostess, birthday, or engagement gift, this is a must-visit.
