The Magic Hat
This magic shop was a let down. The salesperson behind the desk was not helpful, nor were his jokes funny. I don't llike being watched or followed while I shop. I felt like he was looming over us...
Hello Lucky
I really like this store for the beautiful handmade paper they supply. It's worth my trip from San Jose to include Hello Lucky in my list of to do's! I create cards and I really like having a variety of papers on on hand.
Just For Fun & Scribbledoodles
I love this store! It's fun, playful and whimsical. I find myself buying things I don't need here! I'm pulled into this store and things just magically call out to me! The way the store is displayed really appeals to me I guess!
Union Street Papery
I absolutely love paper! This upscale, pricey store is like candy for me! I make my own cards, but I love having beautiful stationary. This store is very expensive, so make your purchase count!
Paper Tree
I live in San Jose and I make greeting cards. When I stop into SF, I always make Paper Tree a priority. I like finding the special items that stretch my creativity. I hate to think that my only choice of supplies is through a national brand store. Hurray for Paper Tree!
Bead Store
This store is so colorful and full of potential! Just seeing all of the displayed jewelry inspires me to create! The staff at this store are very knowledgeable and willing to help customers.
Art Store
Great store for drawing supplies! I love pencils and their supply was endless. Soft to hard lead, I wanted them all! The prices were competetive for easels, lighting and drafting tables. I was hoping to see discounted prices for a store close to the university.
Sterling City
I purchased a pair of sterling silver earrings, but the gal at the register could have cared less. She tried pushing a multiple sale a couple of times, which irritated me .
M & L Jewelers
I was in need of a watch battery! I was in unfamiliar surroundings so I stopped in, asked for directions and got a new battery all at once. The customer service was kind and fast!
Piercing Pagoda
Mmmm.... the stores are sure inticing, but I won't be getting a piercing at this store. As I watched a piercing performed by a salesperson, I wondered how much experience she had. She looked nervous and her hand was a bit shaky. But, then again, she was trying to work with a squirmy child.
The fashion jewelry however, was fun to shop.
