One of my favorite places in Lexington!! The building is organized so well and so lovingly by the staff that it's very easy to find all sorts of things you may need or want or love.
This is my favorite place to shop for random extraordinary things for dirt cheap! I almost always find something to gift to someone on a special occasion, or something I have been looking for but at a way lower price. Ill never stop telling people about this place !
Amazing staff, great variety of all things crafty! We will be back and we're so looking forward to visiting the Creative ReUse opening in Berea soon. 10/10 definitely recommend stopping and digging for all of the bits and bobbles for your hobbies!
Excellent experience with this place. It's a great place to pick up gently used and unused craft and art supplies. They also accept donations so I have more room for the stuff I bought. Staff was kind and helpful.
This place is exactly what I expected from the website description! Second hand art and crafting supplies everywhere! Some of it you have to dig for, but the digging is half the fun to me. Kind of like going on a treasure hunt. They have an enormous collection of sewing patterns (vintage and new) plus quite a nice selection of cut and uncut fabrics. I also noticed a large paper crafts section and some cut glass for stained glass crafting. Everything is priced to sell on a sliding scale of "pay what you can". Kind of confusing at first, but it made sense once we got to the register. I would not recommend taking small children here as the store is very cluttered, but older kids would be fine. I also went with my friend who uses a wheel chair and she had very few issues navigating this place. If you love to craft, check this place out! I know I will definitely be back.

Treasure trove of affordable art and craft supplies for creative minds.
