You walk in and it's downstairs in the basement of the whole building. So it's a pretty large space. I wish they had a bigger selection of coloring books but I guess it's more a place for actual artists and not so much amateurs that want to practice staying in the lines.

Paper Source consistently delivers very creative and fun cards for any special occasion. The card…read moreselection is very good with cards ranging from celebrating birthdays to lifetime milestones. I do enjoy the attention to detail that is shown with each card. The paper source store on hilldale is very clean and well-organized. The price is a bit on the higher side ($6-$10), but the uniqueness and attention to detail make it worth in my opinion. Overall, would recommend for anyone who is looking to get a card for a special person.

You feel me? Yeah. Retail crack. Are you super into bullet journaling? THIS IS THE SPOT!! They have washi tape, washi stickers, hand-printed mulberry sheets, journals, planners, rubber stamps, clear stamps, greeting cards, party supplies, stationary areas sorted by theme, perfect gifts for paper and sticker misers of ALL ages, and a clearance section that's somehow just as pretty as the rest of the store. I think I was running a fever by the time we left--everything was just so darn CUTE! They even have a counter-height table for teaching new skills--and if I'm not mistaken, you can have PARTIES in there! Just imagine... a card-making party, where you invite ALL of the friends you'd send cards to! I love, love, LOVE this store. My boyfriend? Not so much. Leave the non-crafty people at home. But definitely check it out for yourself!

The shop/space in Madison houses about 10 or so artisans who work tirelessly honing their skills. One One Thousand offers various classes to the public where these artisans teach others their craft. From quilting to wood carving there is a class that could interest just about anyone. These creative workshops are the center of what One One Thousand is all about. The concept of such self motivated craftsmanship is a rarity these days. In a world of big box stores ruling the world, or at least America, getting back to the roots of doing it yourself is a breathe of fresh air. The space is big and bright and there is so much to look at around every corner. All the goods are displayed and available for purchase in the space as well. The variety of merchandise One One Thousand has to offer is phenomenal and the quality of craftsmanship is second to none. Whenever we are in Madison it's a must to stop by and see what's going on there.

Truly everywhere you look there is something wonderful and unique. Party supplies, home goods, gifts, cards, candies, beauty and self care items and lots more. Throughout the day of their grand opening celebration they had a craft event, hot chocolate bar, and wine tasting. We stopped by for the wine tasting and also entered a raffle. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They had some really cool balloon displays throughout the store and have plans for more in-store options and ways to help you have them at your own party. Let's make this shop so successful that they open a Milwaukee location! ;) In the meantime, I can order from their website.

I am certainly glad I acted on the recommendation as Jim has a great eye and I am very much a novice in all matters artistic. He went through a series of frame swatches until I saw one that set off the alarm bells in my head and left the painting in his care. I was more than pleased after receiving it back. Wonderful work, and also at a very affordable price for custom framing (the paining was stretched on gallery boards originally and not a common canvas size either). I can't really speak of the selection of art supplies as, as I stated, I know nothing of such matters, but the painting looks fantastic and Jim was great to work with. I would highly recommend Art Haus.

Confectionique is an adorable little shop located in the Middleton Airport. Very random, but very…read moreworth the trip. Each month the "market" has a theme and is only open a few select days a month. Because of this, the store is very, very crowded, so be prepared to get cozy with the people around you. The nice thing is that with such a beautiful setting, everyone is in a good mood and friendly and you'll have a few random conversations about the goods you're looking at. The owners seem like super sweet people who are enjoying living their Parisian dream with their customers - on our visit they were co-manning the checkout counter to get everything wrapped and added up in quick fashion and were very friendly and gracious - they exude appreciation that you're there and make you feel like a regular that's stopped in a corner shop as opposed to a stranger in an airport. I came away with a lovely greeting card featuring a fox and floral design, plus a ceramic bird teapot for my mother for Christmas. After getting home I flipped the pot over to see who made it, and was a bit disappointed to see it was a mass-market made in China piece. The store's tagline is "Authentic. French. Vintage." and this was none of those things. The inexpensive price probably should have tipped me off ($17), but at the end of the day it was a great, affordable find that I think the recipient is going to love, so who cares? Looking forward to stopping back in again, and I'm excited to go during warmer weather so I can sit out for a bit and watch the planes come and go!

The shop is open once a month, and it is uniquely decorated each time you visit. The shop owners visit paris once or twice a year and work with french and local vendors to fill the shop with delightful treasures. Whether you have specific items you've seen on Etsy, Anthropologie, on a blog your visit, or if you are just looking for decorating inspiration...this place is a must! Today I visited and walked home with a vintage food scale and an antique minnow bucket. Both items I've been searching for, and I found them here reasonably priced and in fabulous condition. Next month I intend on visiting on the Thursday night...as they serve free wine while you shop!
