When I shop for gifts outside of my neighborhood (East Hollywood), Retreat is my go-to…read more Diane, the owner, has curated a wonderful collection of jewelry, art prints, cards and fun gifts for virtually any occasion. Despite this shop's relatively small size, it is packed with goodies. My go-to is always the card section, where I invariably find a card for an upcoming birthday or, even better, the perfect card for a friend who could use a pick-me-up or a good laugh. My stationary drawer is packed with Retreat cards that I've got on the ready and I am very grateful. There is a great range of options in terms of price. You can find very fun patches and charms for around ten dollars. If you are looking a bit higher-end, there is a lovely collection of jewelry: but you are definitely paying for quality work that will be appreciated. Diane and the various employees are invariably friendly and eager to help you find something perfect for your friend or family.

This used to be one of my favorite shops, and my mom's too, but we recently had a strange and…read moreunpleasant experience. The person working there (possibly the owner, though we're not sure as we'd never encountered her before) was very rude and dismissive towards my mom. My mom was talking about her recent flight and some news she had heard about flying, as she had just arrived from out of town to visit me. The woman with short blonde hair suddenly interrupted, saying, "We DO NOT talk about that in here, NOPE! NO!" If you don't want to discuss a topic, there's a polite way to steer the conversation elsewhere. You don't need to be dismissive and rude, especially to customers. My mom felt terrible and shut down immediately. We left and won't be returning. It was a really bizarre and disappointing experience that ruined our visit.

In a world where transactions are more often than not digital, a handwritten note provides a light, but effective counterbalance to this trend. At the store, the rep happily walked me through the options, noting some of the snark and sass behind the artwork and text. Matter of fact, there were lots of wonderfully odd items there, such as the feet finger puppets I played with while waiting in line. They especially boasted a strong collection of vintage women's clothing with vibrant colors and unique designs easily able to grab the attention of anyone walking by. As for the card, I narrowed it down to Darth Vader, Chewbacca, or Arthur, finally deciding to choose the path of the resistance with Chewie.

The team who works there is kind and helpful, and even with all of the terrible things that have come their way, they haven't lost their sparkle. I can't wait for them to reopen in a few weeks so I can go back and shop more! P.s. love love love the wallpaper in the dressing rooms!

Absolutely gorgeous texture and color that made my mother so thrilled to be receiving it for Mother's Day. She texted me days later to tell me again how much she loves it. Don't sleep on the adorable and fun home goods and other items in the shop, too - I also bought a cute doormat, and I will definitely be back for birthday and holiday gifts. Plus you're supporting a wildfire-affected business. 10 out 10 all around.

We had a group outing to lumee for the tufting experience and had so much fun! We booked our…read moreappointment online and found the location very easily. We each found images of what we wanted to create online and were able to trace it onto the canvas. Since it was our first time, we all opted for the small canvas but in retrospect, maybe the medium size would've been easier as the tufting gun is harder to maneuver in smaller sections. The staff was very helpful in providing instructions and staying close by as we worked on our projects. Once we were done, we left our mini rugs to be picked up another day since the staff would put the backing on for us and clean up any loose ends and such. Definitely looking forward to coming back and making an even bigger piece!

Initial Impression: I have heard of Lumee before due to its previous locations, but I never had the chance to visit. I just so happened to have extra time in Pasadena so couldn't resist stopping in. This shop in Arcade Lane opened recently and it is situated in a cozy area near Urth Cafe. It is bright, colorful, and hard to miss. The perfect place to draw in lovers of all things Kawaii. Service: the shops man is the absolute sweetest and not only took time to explain the concept of the shop, but he also showed all the artwork and some of his own work! The Mahjong bag is so impressive! Lumee offers tufting for carpets and supplies the tools. They also offer decoden cases, trinkets, hair clips, bags, and more! Locations have a variety of different experiences so check ahead! Overall: I was able to make a trinket for around $8! It can also be upgraded to a magnet and you can walk-in if you want to! They offer group experiences as well, and I think it would be cute for a date too. I really can't want to go again!

A fun splurge for a special occasion or a treat yourself moment…read more I brought my 8 and 10 year old as a reward for getting good grades and they absolutely loved this activity. The best part was the unlimited charms. There was an unbelievable variety and everything was neatly organized. The shop is slightly small so it may be tough taking your time picking charms if there are a lot of people. We booked a table for 4 and got 2 items so that each adult can help each child. The workers were very nice and they even provided a little cart to hold your purses and water bottles next to your table. Parking is free for the first hour with validation. Definitely recommend as a unique activity for the crafter in your life.

We hadn't reserved an appointment, fortunately there had been an opening at the time we arrived. I do recommend booking in advance, as it did get kinda busy when we were leaving There was only one employee scheduled today, and Aron (Aaron?) was very helpful! As we chose to make the plush animal bag charms, we were given a "tour" of the clothes & accessories, along with a detailed explanation of the limit to how many we could get (it was a very generous amount). One of my friends had a custom animal be made especially for them, while two of my friends purchased the instruction package (the other two of us hose pre-made animals). Aron taught/explained everything so well, and even helped them with the harder steps. Aron was so wonderful!! From giving me a free party-hat-shaped hair clip (after hearing my friends tell me happy birthday) to asking my name to personalize a handwritten birthday card, you helped make my day special! Thank you so much! They also have rug tufting, and their other location has "frosting" which I believe is decorating photo frames and etc with charms? Every activity offered is soooo cute and exciting! Pls visit if you have a chance :)
