Cherish
I am a sucker for stationery stores, and thus scurried across the street in childlike excitement when I spotted this little gem in the Inner Richmond. And no sooner had I stepped inside the door than I heard the cheerful sounds of actual children emanating from the back room. Turns out that a group of young girls was participating in a scrapbooking workshop and were so engrossed in their work that even a short stack of delivered pizzas did little to distract them. Cherish offers a variety of workshops. Its upcoming classes cover everything from scrapbooking and cardmaking, to creating holiday paper wreaths and learning how take inexpensive everyday items found at home and "transform them into something new and beautiful." Patrons can also dip into the store for open crop, card or craft nights and use the workspace for a studio fee of $10. And for those who are feeling less than crafty, the store has an offering of ready-made stationery and cards.
