380 Watertown St, Newton“Staying near by for family’s medical reason and found this little shop. Had very reasonable prices on all cards. Bought a few boxes and hope to return before I leave town. Phil and his wife have been at this for 25 years. No fluff and no fanfare but they know their place in the card business. Must check out if looking for new cards.”
“Arts & crafts galore, picture framing wonderland, and all the holiday decor you can think of. I just stopped by to see if they might have some cute Christmas-themed signs or trinkets for my new apartment and was blown away by the amount of stuff they had. Not to mention, the shelves were fully stocked for the most part!It felt like all the Christmas stuff was all on sale?? I mean everywhere I looked it was either 40% off, 50% off, or buy 1 get 1 50% off. Trouble for me that's for sure. This was a fabulous surprise. I went in looking for the possibility of some cute Christmas stuff, and left with and entire carriage full of stuff: a 7 foot fake tree, white lights and colored lights for my tree and to put up outside, garland for my fireplace that looked real and not tacky, a star topper, fake greenery to put in a vase, and more. The fake trees on display really take the cake here. They are all out on display the second you walk in, so you can get an idea to scale of what they look like with their lights on as well as the size and height of all them. They were on crazy sale and even without the sale it seemed like reasonable prices to me!I come here often throughout the year but this is the place to go if you're need something for the holidays!”
“Nice yarn store, pretty much the only one left on the area; a knitter's paradise: yarn of every kind, needless, hooks, buttons, and the owner who can always provide excellent guidance.”
