"I'm dropping it a star for two reasons, even though the store remains adorable and you shouldn't skip it if you're on a tour of the Melrose District or if you want scrapbook paper without leaving CenPho (or enduring the Worst Michaels on the Planet over on Camelback). The scrapbook paper selection has shrunk, but it's still decent-sized and full of retro charm, with lots of available embellishments.\n\nFirst, the posted hours are meaningless, and calling the day before to double-check hours will have you staring at a locked gate, too. Call right before you intend to go there, and then go immediately. It's not that I don't sympathize with small business owners' need to have time when they're not at work -- it's just that I'd prefer that time not be during the posted business hours. This part, I could work with, though.\n\nSecond, don't trust the stamping/scrapbook paint. I bought a pricey little tube there, got it home, and discovered after opening it that the paint was completely dried up. Fortunately, before making the trek to return it, I looked at the receipt and determined it announces ALL SALES FINAL. So that was a waste of money, and thank goodness I didn't indulge in more colors, as my budget really can't absorb multiple instances of the store's not keeping its stock fresh and refusing to take responsibilities for its own oversights. I guess I'm glad the receipt states the policy, since making a second trip to be refused would have really left me cranky."^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . . . .
