It is also a shared-working-space for artists, crafters, amateurs, kids, or anyone with a day, week, month or annual-pass to come, utilize the store's resources, and work on personal projects....or take a class and learn a new skill!!! I have been coming here for almost two years. Everything from the buzzing creative energy, the friendly-and-professional staff, the layout /environment, as well as the adorable "store dog", Achilles, is superb and unlike anything you've experienced before. Bring the kids, you won't regret it, and you will absolutely love it!!!

It was as if the manager was punishing me for having a question. Do you want my business or not??

I promise, this will quickly become one of your go-to shops too!

Allow me to set the scene: It's POURING rain, and I come in absolutely panicked. My wedding…read moreinvitations, which I've spent MONTHS designing need to go out by end of day (because of course I waited until the last possible moment). I am finally getting them into their envelopes and what's this?? The adhesive isn't strong enough, the flaps are lifting! Cue the aforementioned panic. I call Ink Paper Crafts to see if they have washi tape. They do. Tons of it. It's not an ideal solution for my fancy invites but it will have to do. I jump in the car and get there an hour before closing, damp from the rain and -- let's be honest -- probably a little bit of sweat, wedding invite in hand. I'm trying to find a washi tape that will semi-match the vibe and then, like an angel sent from heaven, the owner walks up to me and says "I've got something better for you." She proceeds to introduce me to this magical tape dispenser that absolutely saved the day. And she wouldn't even let me pay her for it!! "My wedding gift to you," she said. I was stunned. It's been so long since I've had this experience shopping. You know how it is -- we're all buying everything on amazon and there's no warmth, no connection. Not only will I be a loyal Ink Paper Craft customer for LIFE but I also feel so motivated to keep shopping small business. This is what it's all about. Thank you to this amazing woman for making my day and helping me remember the most important thing of all -- kindness in key moments can change everything.

The show starts just after the boardwalk and lines the Cabrillo Blvd. I learned that this show is every Sunday from 10:00am-6:00pm. The show features arts and crafts including paintings, sculptures, jewelry, pottery and more. It was a delight to talk to the artist about their work in a very causal setting. Truly some unique pieces of art can be found at this show. Definitely worth a stroll if you are in town and heading to the beach. Parking can be found on Cabrillo Blvd or in the public parking areas.
