This place was amazing and every single city in the US should have a store like this. I am dead serious. One room is mainly art for sale, but all of the pieces are made from recycled materials, like coffee tub lids, detergent bottle plastic, cloth scraps, etc.. All of these pieces could have been made from the plethora of materials that are available in the other part of the building, where they have things like scrap leather, colored paper, metal pieces, beads, craft supplies and so much more. But more than that, they also have office supplies, games, puzzles, paint brushes... It's the kind of place that you could visit over and over and see new things every time. You could also complete just about every Pinterest craft on the web for about $5 in supplies from the Scrap Exchange.
