This store is every "crafty" person's dream. It may not carry the large, detailed selection of other chain craft stores, but it has EVERYTHING they don't have!
They carry toys, books, housewares, trinkets, figurines, you name it. I am especially impressed at the huge selection of animal-related decorative items they have, namely wolves and horses. My mother loves horses to death, and she and I walked around the store for almost an hour just beaming over all the beautiful items. I personally collect unicorn items, and they actually had an okay selection of things that were actually appealing to me. They have a fleece throw with unicorns on it that doesn't look like Lisa Frank drew it (those are the types I dislike when I'm looking for unicorn stuff).
I also enjoy collecting wolf-related things as well as Native American-themed items, and I was surprised at how many beautiful jigsaw puzzles they had featuring wolves and/or NA artwork. I plan on purchasing several in the future! They also carry soup mugs, statuettes, home decor, throws and just about everything else with a wolf theme. I suppose part of that comes from the area this store resides in. Many of my family members also collect these items and I see other people that do also. I'm glad there's a store that targets that market, as finding something like a soup mug with a painted wolf on it isn't something you can get at your local big box store. They all would make wonderful gifts!
I couldn't believe how low the prices were on some of the items. There are a few large glass cases in the front of the store chock with different statues and figures, and when I looked underneath one of the huge dragon statues, it was only $25! You'd see the same item going for $50 or more at a chain store. There are also some amazing Disney figures in the cases, too.
They also carry a small supply of The Mountain brand t-shirts, which for anyone who is a fan of the brand will very much enjoy being able to just go to this store and find a shirt from them, and for only about $14 versus the $18-25 they charge online (plus shipping).
The employees are friendly and helpful, the music isn't too loud over the speakers and the prices are at average or slightly less (sometimes incredibly less) than other stores. I'm completely in love...

Read moreFirst time I had been there, we were doing some local shopping with others. This place was right out of my childhood in the 60s; friendly staff, clean facility and stuff on shelves I haven't seen for years. A cross of hardware, department and specialty store there was a bit of everything. A great place to start if you're looking for a needed homey item for a residence, a tool, a...
