This shop is more than a store. It is a place to go to meet and enjoy the company of some very nice people and to select from an enormous selection of yarns. On any Saturday one can walk in and see a group of men and women sitting around a large table knitting and chatting. There are , of course, always the "regulars" but everyone is welcome to grab a chair and join the group. Everyone has to be a first timer once. The first time I went in to learn how to knit, I was made to feel very welcome. Then about noon a piece of paper is passed around and lunch is ordered in. Everyone is welcome to join in. Once a month there is a potluck. Everyone is welcome to join in. Twice a month there is a knitnight on Thursday night. Everyone is welcome to join in. It is a warm and welcoming group. Additionally, the help really does HELP. Sharon (the store owner), Kate and Nancy are wonderful individuals and they know their knitting. If the shop is busy, it is not uncommon to find a steady customer take time to help a new customer. I find this store to be an excellent place to shop as well as to learn, improve my skill, and to interact with a friendly staff and customers.

Located at an extremely accessible location, the art coop is a good place for me to stop when I need to make an urgent purchase of art supplies.
Despite being accessible, though, I do admit it's a little easy to miss, as it's tucked into the back of the building. There's a sign, of course, but sometimes you just don't pay attention to those kind of things...
The art coop cells a lot of art supplies of various kinds, and I've never needed something art-related that I couldn't find there. However, they're pretty expensive, which makes bulk purchasing (at least by me) nearly impossible.
But still, it's well-organized and contains quite an inventory, so when I need just one or two items, I won't hesitate to stop here

Imagine Scrapbooking and Stamping is in an odd, hard to find location and there is not much parking. The layout of the store is strange, too. It is really long and narrow. However, once inside I was pleasanly suprised. They have alot of unique paper, stamps, and embellishments. They have a kids play area. they also have lots of layout and card samples all over the walls. they have a small room full of albums and another small room full of stamps. The staff is very nice. The prices are good as well. Don't be put off by the location-it is worth the trip!
