Easy parking, visited without lofty expectations, as it was a brutally cold day and we were happy to be out of the house and wanted to have fun. Joanie and Megan made the whole experience a great time! They are pleasant, knowledgeable, encouraging, and talented. We enjoyed interacting with our fellow total of ten attendees, and they made it a better event. I like how you all sit at a community table and experience it together. I learned how to do really fun watercolor strokes and designs, but also had a terrific time doing it. We will return, as it is a great place to get away and have some fun.

It's not like your typical consignment store packed with merchandise all over that it can be overwhelming. No, it feels like you have walked into any nice retailer, well laid out items and they are selective about what they take. The prices are wonderful and they have a mix of new stuff too (Doug & Melissa toys, etc..). The staff is very friendly and helpful. They also have a location in Ames. Good for baby, children and maternity too!

I was there for the books but I also found a bunch of cool games I've only seen people play on YouTube. The selection of books - especially the more obscure SciFi and Fantasy books - blew me away. It was certainly not disappointing. While we were there, there was a Lorcana gameplay night going on in the other side so it was hopping. I also had a lovely conversation with Emma and she gave me some recommendations I'd not heard of. Pricing was clear for items and browsing was smooth. Can't wait to go back!

There is a placeholder you pay when you sign up. I completely get that as it sold out quickly. The evening of the event, we brought our drinks and headed to get settled in. Greeted warmly by everyone in the shop. The entire work staff was in a chipper fun mood. We got to select the item that we wanted to glaze. We were given clear instructions on what to do. The room was full of excited adults all there to have some fun. The staff was around to answer questions. They drew tickets for fun give aways. My group of friends laughed, talked, glazed, and had a good time. We were there for about 3 hours. Between picking out the colors and how much time you want to spend on your project. It was really fun for an adult evening out. I really look forward to the next adult fun night.
