I'm still in love with the ambiance of this place. Art everywhere! And not just one or two or even…read more10, but many. Every style, medium, and vantage point you can think of (or not know about) is here. It welcomes you via the front windows and swaddles you as you walk further in. And the team here are some of the friendlist folks you will meet downtown. And recommendations? They have plenty. They've been there for over two decades so they know a thing or two. Of course they can give you background information on each of the artists' whose work is in the shop and sometimes even some insight on the piece itself. But I also want to highlight a aspect of AOB that I constantly make use of; framing. Once you make it to the back (after joyful hours of looking at everything while en route), you will see a workshop area. There one or two team members will always be hard at work (though never too busy to answer questions). I have brought quite a number of posters, prints, and paintings over the years in search of their guidance in what frame to choose, how to frame it (matte/no matte/thickness of-color-etc.), and even the optimum glass. And every time they have come through. When I ask them to push me out of my comfort zone (aka, solid color frames), they did and my piece was the better for it. Their presence and their services are invaluable to downtown and our community. If you haven't been, or if it's been more than a week, I recommend you stop in soon. You can thank me later.

I'm part of the lunchables era. I'm pretty sure it's why I love charcuterie. When I learned about…read morethe unique twist on crafting a charcuterie board I quickly snagged a ticket. The Curated Palette experience Westobou was fantastic. I learned how curators select art and had the chance to curate my own art with food. The featured artist during my experience was aort1982 . You can find his recent work tacomadreoriginal . I enjoyed following the story he told through his art and learning how the curators chose to tell the story with the placement of the pieces. Group Recommendations: Book as a group or at the same time as space is limited for this experience. Solo Recommendations: Come to enjoy being with others but honestly I really enjoyed this as a solo excursion because I like admiring art in silence . #authenticaugusta#visitaugusta#csra #augusta,#georgia

She would tell me every week that my frame would be in in 3 days, once she tracked it and said it would be there in the next 3 days, then she said it had to be hand made, then it came without the glass. All of this was with my reaching out to her. when i ordered the frame i was give a price of 199 and then 225 by her. when I picked it up after making fruitless trips there thinking it was ready, I paid 248.00. Not to mention when it was first restored and delivered to her to frame it was cut wrong and had to be reprinted. so 3 months later it is back in my possession and she will not ever get an opportunity to do this to me again.

Thankfully we saw them next to the Mexican restaurant downtown (El paso) we dined in for lunch. The timing on that! We didn't know they moved. We went on record store day. Which is always on Black Friday. This location is much bigger and has more vinyl and products. They now have used VHS, CD's, vinyl players, and more! In the back is where they will have live bands every so often. Everything is categorized by genres which is easy to find and organized. We ended up getting RSD Ghost album, some used and new vinyl. I also made a new friend. Their pet dog Otis which he chilled with me on the couch. This is the best record store in Augusta and I highly recommend you check them out.

My lady and I stopped by on Black Friday Record Store Day and scored some great vinyls. We were stoked to see Colemine Records, a Loveland, OH company, represented in the store too.

I found the perfect handkerchief and all I needed was to find a place to get it done. I called around town and was told that because of the delicate fabric it would nearly be impossible to get done short of finding a little old lady that could hand sew. I mean, that is literally what one person told me. After panicking a bit (Where does my friend get it done? Who knows? I couldn't have asked though without stirring up her suspicion.) some kind person directed me here. Praise the Lamb, because they had me bring in the handkerchief to take a look at it and even though they had all the industrial machines in the back (I got a grand tour because I needed to pick out the perfect string colors--I didn't take pictures... because, well, it would have been odd. But believe me, they have half a million color options and the wall the colors are hung on is beautiful to look at) my handkerchief was done with care somewhere else. The staff were so very friendly. They treated me like an old friend and we were on the hunt for the perfect color combination for the embroidery. I really appreciated the time that they took and the kindness they showed my frazzled brain. My experience was with a small order and it was amazing the detail, I can only imagine how great of a job they do on larger products and orders.
