Over the years I have re-visited Guiry's & am always happy with my purchases. I last went to Guiry's on Colorado Blvd about a week ago & worked with design expert Marilyn Dees on my latest project. Marilyn was professional, detailed & very nice. She checked for the best prices & helped arrange logistics to get certain things delivered. If you are a small apartment renter with a limited budget or have a heftier budget, check out Guiry's. My experience was with Marilyn, but many other of the staff were equally professional & nice. Thanks!

Hands down THE destination for spinners (and all fiber artists!) in Denver. I recently bought my first wheel there, and Karen gave me wonderful advice and guidance in choosing the right wheel for me. She even worked with me to find a time we could meet with my work schedule, and stayed late when the store was closing to help me! I'm completely satisfied (thrilled even) with my purchase and thankful to have such an asset nearby to help with spinning. If you're looking to purchase a new wheel, they have a big stock, good prices, and really know their stuff! Karen also raises award winning alpacas and sells their fiber at the shop. They have GORGEOUS alpaca fiber, as well as just about every other kind of fiber you could think of, not to mention finished yarn, both handspun and commercial, as well as knitting, crochet, and weaving supplies, all kinds of spinning supplies, and wheel accessories and attachments. It's a lot of great stuff packed into a small space! Blazing Star is a must-visit if you're in the area and into fiber arts- I'll definitely be back again and again.

This odd little shop shares a storefront in downtown Englewood with Anderson's Vacuum/Colorado…read moreShaver Center. The large signs are all for the shaver/vacuum business, so look for the north door that says, "Blazing Star Ranch." The genesis of the business is the ranch in Elizabeth, Colorado where the owners have a herd of 60+ prize-winning alpacas. Much of the wool in the shop comes from this herd, but the owners seek out and represent other local and international craft yarn producers and dyers. Things are a little disorganized and the inventory is limited, but the yarns and raw wools are very unique and interesting. The shop also sells and services equipment for spinning and weaving and offers a roster of intensive classes. This is a very unusual shop, even for the yarn business. Don't let the strange location put you off. This is a great resource for anyone interested in quality yarn or spinning and weaving. Tours of the ranch are offered if you would like to meet the alpacas.

I've been visiting him since he was at his other shop to when he went out on his own. I'm saying a decade if not longer. That just shows how much trust and loyalty he is and I am to his impeccable work. Most who know me knows I'm all about local businesses supporting and he is definitely a local. I know there are cheaper big box stores but as they say you pay for what you get and I did try those others before and was disappointed. I'm sticking with Robert through and through. This visit he framed two of my passions. Anti Hero Blade that a famous artist friend Christopher Clark sketched for me and an original comic book of Blade. With his impeccable taste he helped pick out the frames and they turned out great. And an added plus he gives military discounts.

I had the pleasure of working with Robert Platz (owner of RPO Framing and Gallery) during 2 events this last holiday season, along with joining him during one of his gallery openings. I have nothing but respect and admiration for this guy and the space he's created. He is a true community builder, artist and emissary of local arts! His eye for talent, his eye for matting and framing, his joy in community from poetry readings to live music to racing watch parties... he's just a true jewel for the art community in Denver. If you're looking for new work in your space or have been waiting for the perfect moment to frame that treasured piece, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not swinging by RPO Framing and Gallery first... plus, it'll save ya the time and headache of shopping anywhere else!

The Bad: This place also does not have free pizza while we shop around. I am.determined to find a place. Kidding aside, the only downside I would think is that they know they have a monopoly in the area and the prices show it. The Ugly Truth: The selection of corsets is nice and the staff was very helpful in finding just the right one for my wife. She tried several of them on and found one that fit her needs. I would love to say we'll be back but we're not in Denver that often to stop in. A real positive is that the staff is eager to help and makes you feel very welcome. The downside is the pricing, but Denver is a more expensive city then most in this part of the country anyway so I understand.
