Prices are in the middle and people who complain about a candle being $28-3, well, you can simply not buy it. The candles are more than likely either locally made or you are in fact, supporting a non-corporate spot so you will pay a bit ore for several things. Sure, you can take your butt to Target and buy a birthday card for $3.99 or you can come here and spend $6 for a REALLY awesome and unique card. I guess it's all about perspective. The staff is simply okay here. Never a warm feeling like other stores on Mass but I do stop in about once a month.

I LOVE stationary and paper things. OMG! I was so excited to go into this store. Normally, this…read moretype of store is my wheelhouse. I braved parking downtown to go to this stationary store and I sure wished I had saved my time and efforts. They have some adorable things in this establishment. I was all set to make a big purchase until I turned into a ghost. The young lady at the front desk was not on her phone but she was on her computer. She never looked at me. I walked right in front of her and type, type, type. Casper, I tell ya. No one greeted me, no one offered help, no one even knew I was in the store. Type, type, type. I looked at the items in my bag and I decided not to purchase anything at this store. They made me feel uncomfortable and not valued as a customer. I could not believe there was not one word spoken to me. How difficult would it have been to give me a kind "Hello!"? Well, apparently, that is too much to ask from this store. As a customer I had to make an effort to drive downtown from south Lawrence, fight for a parking space, pay for parking just to browse this store. The very least I should have received was a welcome. Perhaps a stationary and printing store in a high rent area already has enough customers and they don't need my money. I would think they would need all the customers they can get in their location. I will not be back despite the cool things they had in the store.

Even though it's old and local there are some very cool things in this store. Weavers has a wide selection of many different items- clothing, makeup, shoes, home goods, luggage. From the street it doesn't look that large but it's huge inside. So much packed in this store. I always love coming here because it's the kind of store that makes you feel special. There is a personalized touch to this store and they get to know you by name. The only drawback is the parking situation and it's not Weavers fault. Parking in downtown Lawrence should be an Olympic event. However, to get the reward of going to Weavers, you gotta brave the parking downtown. The prices are very reasonable and the merchandise is very contemporary. There's something for everyone at Weavers.

Not sure what happened to Hancock but I hope Jo-Ann intends to stick around for awhile. I have been to the Lawrence store twice. Both times I've been looking for specific items. The first time they didn't have or stock the items I needed but I still had an enjoyable shopping experience. During my second visit, they had the item I wanted and then some. This store is, oddly, arranged much like Hancock Fabric was arranged. The fabric notions are on the left side of the store and in the back of the store. There are rows of craft items displayed very similarly to the former Hancock displays. So it was very easy to navigate the store and find what I needed. Everything is nicely arranged and there were many shelves of sale items which I always appreciate! The lighting on some of the shelving is bright and cheery. I was in the bead section and the items were really illuminated. The clerks were very friendly and personable. I had a coupon on my cell phone but I had left my phone at home. The cashier gave me the discount anyway. I appreciated her help. The clerk on other visit was equally as friendly and helpful. She gave me coupons to use, as well. We talked about her sewing projects and she was very pleasant. Great store, friendly service, reasonable prices. I know I'll be back! I am glad to see them in Lawrence.

I am a quirky creative crafty type of female and I usually like to make my own things and what's…read morereally funny about it is that I don't buy the usual things. I usually piece things together to create something new so Joann's has become the place that I go for my creative crafty items. First off I don't like the location of this place because if you don't live in the area you'll never see it from the main road, however I can easily overcome that because when you walk inside the store is clean. the shelves are always fully stocked and what I love most about them is that they always have a sale on some thing. I have never gone in there and paid full price for anything. I catch a sale every time I shop there. The biggest complaint that I do have with them, is the staff is never at the front of the store to greet customers. If a thief wanted to steal something they could easily do it and go right outside the door as easily as they came in because there's no one there to watch. Now maybe because the store has security cameras the staff have convinced themselves that it doesn't matter if their presence be at the front of the store, But for customers it raises concern to see that you have to actually be standing at the registers ready to check out before someone comes to the front of the store. That is a very scary way to run your business. Other than that concern, I love shopping there. I love being able to find unique and creative patterns and fabrics and items that I can put together to create something entirely my own.

I like looking at the collections, but I manage to stay away from them. If you want Jayhawk of any kind: material, cross stitch patterns, anything, they have it. But, other than that, they are quite small. The quilt shop area is kind of cool, again, great for people who do quilting, and live in Lawrence. Jayhawk fabric is hard to find elsewhere. I have alot of it in my stash, thanks to this store. As for other cross stitch items, kind of basic supplies I can get in Missouri. But, when I participate in the cross stitch shop hop,I always pick up a Lawrence, KU or Jayhawk pattern or fabric of some kind. It sits on Mass. Street, up the street from the Yarn Barn. There is parking on the street, it is metered. There is plenty of stores to visit while on Mass. Street. So, plan accordingly.

We're basically talking twins here except for the needlework section in the back of shop here at Stitch On. Crafted collectibles include Department 56 and Byer's Choice. You'll also find a large selection of Vera Bradley purses and bags to throw your crap in. For the decorator, its a paradise of holiday items to "festivus" your home. (C'mon you Seinfeld freaks!) I'd say the shop's greatest asset was the service. Her involvement and conversation over frankensteins and draculas had me grinning from ear to ear.
