Not only do they have an extensive selection of materials, but they also have a ton of fun items that make for great gifts. Funny coffee table books, kitschy tarot card decks, vibrant stickers, adult themed coloring books, unique puzzles, and greeting cards. On both my recent visits, staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. They also plugged other local art businesses in the county when I mentioned driving up from Fortuna. Being in this store just brings me joy and I can't wait to return!

I started with my findings because I didn't want to forget so I didn't have much at this point. I was browsing for a while, then went to the counter and found something I wanted, was helped with it and and wanted to see something else but was interrupted by two women who wanted help putting together their necklaces. The clerk did not stop them and say she would be with them in a minute, nor did she look at me and say excuse me, she just abandoned me and left me standing there. I interjected at one point and asked to see a certain bead I was looking at on the string instead of individually. She said "we don't have any of those" and proceeded to help the girls that had interrupted me. Um, I was looking right at what she said "don't have any of". When she was done with the girls she looked at me and said, "I am taking my break" and left. So, I was just standing there with my things in hand at the counter with no one to help me. I waited a few minutes put my tray on the counter and left. I don't know if somehow I gave the impression I wasn't serious because I had a couple of meager findings, or if I wasn't an enthusiastic young person needing help with a necklace, but I was looking to buy some good quality beads while I was in town but was treated like I didn't matter.
