Everybody has bad days...it doesn't mean we just give up! I live in League City and come all the way to shop there. This is definitely "A STORE WITH A PURPOSE" When I shop there I make at least 2 to 3 thorough scans of the entire store. There are so many wonderful things and I find things I didn't see each time! Rock on Ramona & Jennifer! Love ya! I to LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the Asylum! Everybody has bad days…it doesn’t mean we just give up! I live in League City and come all the way to shop there.

LOL Ramona & Jennifer are both a HOOT & the shop is full of TOTALLY COOL TREASURES! I drive up there atleast once a month, if not weekly all the way from Texas City. OMG, no one was at the register??? What has this world come too? If nothing else, yell out "I'm ready to check out"! Heck, I walk in the door & yell "Honey, I'm home" & we are always laughing across the store. Even my 20 year old son & hubby enjoy going there. Considering these ladies have opened a place for things that would be in our land fields & for people like me to find cool art treasures everytime I go in, it's ok if they aren't at the register 24/7! Besides, it's not Target or Walmart and someone does have to sort, clean, organize & display everything, plus the day to day things that go along with running a shop & organizing classes. So for the person who can't wait at the register or speak up, STAY HOME cuz that just means there will be more goodies for me & my friends to buy!!!! LOVE YA GIRLS & The Art Asylum is definitely for me!!!!! THANKS & KEEP UP ALL THE GREAT WORK!!! I LOVE~LOVE~LOVE The Asylum & the “Rude”…..NOT, manager!

It's a massive and instant assemblage inventory and full of inspiration. I can easily spend an hour or two there. If someone is not at the cash register, they are most likely only several feet away... unloading a new box of goodies onto the shelves. They are constantly restocking! I LOVE the shop.

I love the shop. I have donated to and bought from the shop three times since they opened. I'd go more often, but I'd get myself into trouble buying up all the cool little treasures. The fact that the inventory changes so much and so often makes it a new shop every time you go in. As far as the owner, I've never seen her be anything but lovely. My son (age 11) has been in with me each time I've gone and they chat with him, encourage him to explore, and even got him out of a bad mood he was stuck in the first time we went. I've been very impressed with the fact that the owner has remembered us the times we've been in after the initial visit. I always feel welcome there and can't wait to go back.

One of my first stops on a trip from San Antonio to Houston. My son and I were treated very well and really enjoyed meeting the owner. She is even going out of her way to ship me some items I didn't get while I was there. Hope the shop is not "edited" too much...I love it the way it is - an artist/crafter paradise! As for the Corona bottle caps - wouldn't they be cute tiled on a table top or around a mirror............ “My Point” – The shop is amazing!!

That's a great find. I bought a Victorian glue book a while back. It was a book of engraved pictures that a girl or young woman had glued articles and calling cards in, afixing them to the blank pages opposite the engravings. The coolest thing was an invitation to a whooping cough party. It was dated 1917 I believe. The idea behind these parties was that if you knew someone who had a mild case of an illness you would expose your children to them in the belief that they would get a mild case that would protect them from a deadly case. Kind of do it yourself innoculation. Thanks goodness for antibiotics and modern medicine. Isn’t is fun to find things like this? That’s a great find.
