    This is an amazing art supply store! They have everything and then some. I walk in there when I want to be inspired. They have fun and quirky pick up items that make fun gifts. There is not an another store like it in the Chicagoland area. It's also well organized, clean, bright with knowledgeable staff. They're framing is very well done.

    Nicest people with the perfect amount of assistance. Kind but not persistently annoying. And, honestly very informed! Great selection for the amateur crafter.
