Melrose Vintage is a mix between a really kitsch baby store, a hole in wall decorator spot with one of a kind antiques and hard to find fabrics, and a great scrapbook store with endless options all in one great boutique. Who knew?!
I wandered in here in search of some cute scrapbook paper for some invitations I was making. I found the store on a blog; I've been doing paper arts for years and had never heard of this store even though it's been around for quite some time.
If you like the shabby chic look, then Melrose Vintage will inspire and empower. They've decorated this place to the hilt, and just walking in here will spark creativity.
They offer classes - I used to teach paper arts, and actually have a degree in Graphic Design so I kinda know a few things - and their classes are really great. They have a lot of different options and their prices are reasonable.
Parking can be a nightmare, and you might have to be patient.
There are plenty of places to wander in within a 5-10 mile radius, so I would take advantage of the location.
