Currently Shorthand has 3 locations - Highland Park, Larchmont Village, and San Anselmo. This Highland Park location is the flagship location. [Parking]: There are plenty of metered parking spots and paid public parking lots, but parking can be hard to come by during busy shopping seasons. [Selection]: The shop offers greeting cards, pens, notebooks, pen, pencils, gift wraps, etc. I like the greeting card selection a lot better at Shorthand, but I didn't see too many Valentine's Day cards. The shop was a lot more colorful than Crush & Touch as Shorthand organized pens and pencils by color. They also sell really neat hand drawn Highland Park and Eagle Rock maps. The shop also sells various colors of ribbon per yard and gift wrap. Each color of ribbon has a slightly different price. I actually got a red tight weave ribbon for $1.75 per yard and the staff even gave me a slightly extra length. [Gift Wrap Service]: Customers can purchase gifts in store or bring them in from elsewhere. In general, regular (one sheet) = $8, large (two sheets) = $14, and extra large (three sheets+) = $20+. [Conclusion]: A really cute stationery shop with all the supplies for gift wrapping.

The employees were very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. It was very convenient to park our car in the parking garage across the street and walk around in the area. My goal is to support small businesses in every city I go to. I am glad I visited Blick Art Materials. It is a great art shop to stop by. Definitely, you will enjoy shopping there and purchase nice items with good quality and affordable price.

Artesanias JD specializes in Mexican/Latin American inspired Handmade and Handcrafted Artisan Products : Clothing, Jewelry, Pottery, Table Runners, Kitchen Accessories, Hammocks, Novelty item, trinkets, Wall Art Work; and more (homemade food!). I love their beautiful handcrafted products. We bought a lot of fragile items and I appreciate how the sweet owner wrapped each items up with care - thank you! Also, don't leave here without trying some of their delicious homemade food! Food: Delicious! Homemade guisados type tacos/burritos, mole, tamales, (Mexican/El Salvadoran), flautas. Not a large menu. Weekends they make pozole/menudo. Yummy! Hours: Closed on Tuesday; hours of operation: Monday to Saturday (10am to 7pm); Sunday (9am to 4pm).

I know it's not selling clothes, but I'm exhausted visiting thrift stores and seeing donated items for 20+.

I'm dying to take a class but my brain isn't really good at organizing my life a month ahead, as they typically book out way in advance. I cannot speak more highly of the space and their services they offer. Lastly their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and kind!
