This pocket-sized book is the perfect companion to have on you at all times. It is perfect for anyone looking for a spark of something poetic to help capture some fleeting moment of emotion that could flutter away in a fraction of a second. Full of thoughtful idea starters from the journals of author Laura B. Ginsberg, an editor and writing instructor, this book will help you experiment with language and ideas and fill up that stash of gorgeously blank notebooks waiting for your stories.
Flip through the pages and find a phrase or question that snaps together that vague idea in your mind into something with lush potential. Fill the open spaces with your own scribblings and scraps of glittering essence that might just become your next work of art. Carry around that feeling of creative inspiration for those moments when that song, poem, or novel you're working on needs a glimmer of something a little extra.

AMAZING!! Beautiful store and very lovely staff. Everyone was so kind and the service was impeccable. The music and the decor all around the store was also such a great touch. Had the best time here!!
Karen was so patient as my partner and I looked over their Art a la carte selection and attentive throughout each step of our creative process. Self directed but with friendly advice employees always ready to offer a hand, extra materials, and answer questions. We were so surprised to find they had only been open for 2 weeks because the whole process went so smoothly. I can't wait to visit Asbury Park again so we can do it again!
A fun new Addition to our area after art cafes became popular in NYC in the last couple years.
The space contains a small shop area featuring clothing and other small trinkets and a separate area for the art studio.
The a la carte art options ranged from around $15 to $35 and from painting to collaging. There’s even a bead bar if you’re making a bracelet. We had a fun time with what we chose!
It’s an expensive outing with more than a couple people, but I will definitely be returning and like supporting local places like this!
Such a gem! The space is beautiful, inspiring and filled with local artwork. They also have an art thrift shop where you can find unique treasures and supplies at great prices. The art cafe is such a creative concept that offers a menu of fun art projects. This place is a true creative hub and a fantastic addition to the neighborhood.
Local art for sale, art thrift shop & an Art cafe! What a fabulous place! Can’t wait to return with my friends to create our own art!
