**Review:** I…read morerecently visited Michael's to pick up an online order, and my experience was unfortunately disappointing. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Christine, who was rude right from the start. When I asked her where to pick up my order, she pointed to an area in a condescending manner, as if implying I didn't know how to read. Her tone was dismissive, making the interaction quite unpleasant. I hope management addresses this, as customer service should always be a priority.

I spend far too much money on craft supplies. And there are so many crafts I pick up, buy supplies,…read morethen abandon. So I thought this would be a good place to purchase some supplies. It's a little out of the way, and it's a bit of a jumble. Most of these supplies look as though they sat in a warehouse for a long time. You have to be willing to look and search. I'm pretty craft-compulsive, and I bought nothing. Nothing. There were some (longtime?) customers in the store so they must know what they want. I was able to go down aisles, wander down corridors freely and no one bothered me. I suppose if I asked for help I would have gotten it. Sorry but this was not my vibe.

That said, it's a bit disheveled and dim; you're not in a Michael's. But if you are willing to poke around you, are sure to find some treasure! It's a good thing for GPS because the location is slightly hard to find, but gladly the nondescript building does have a big sign on it, the address is posted on a sign near the street, and the aqua blue door are all things to look for. Worth the drive!

Great selection of cute toys, bags, stationary, etc.. great stop for the artsy/creative kids, teens, and adults. Don't expect this to be like Hello Tokyo type prices, as it's really not meant to be a dollar store. Lots of selection and unique styled items. There is only one in person register for checkout, but the store is small enough that's all they need right now. Now that we know it's here, I'm sure now my kids will be wanting to go to H-Mart when we go grocery shopping!

I was surprised that it wasn't contained inside a store, but actually took a large amount of space off to the side. They had a great selection of stickers, greeting cards, stationery, notebooks, writing tools, backpacks, cases for technology, and plushies. Prices were reasonable, considering these are imported goods. Staff is very kind and friendly, and they allow you to peruse at your heart's leisure. Definitely a fun place to check out to add to your collection or to purchase as cute gifts. +kind & friendly staff +located inside H Mart

Terrible experience. Despite clear, agreed upon deliverables, they ruined valuable memorabilia by…read moregluing it to cardboard so it can't be salvaged by experts elsewhere. They didn't use any matting so that the final effect looks cheap and unprofessional, like what a child might do for an art project, not a $150 professional frame job.

Combine these choices with unique designs such as hand embossed fabric mats, multiple frames and specialty matting, to create the perfect frame for your artwork.

I emailed the customer service about the missing item and never received a response of any kind from the company. Would never deal with them again for 100 years!

The window given was April 13-16 and it was needed April 18. I kept receiving updates saying that it was now expected April 17, which would have been fine. Needless to say, it did not arrive April 17 so I had to buy a new gift. I was happy to keep the globe but thought it unreasonable to pay the $15. Bestpysanky was completely unsympathetic and said the shipping charge was not their responsibility. I would still like to receive my credit and will update this review if I do.

The owner, Robin, and one of the other employees were fantastic at leading a group of 21 first grade girls through painting a mermaid tail (there were so many choices for the canvas painting - my daughter happened to choose this one). They can do them more or less complex based on the age group of the party. Robin was truly fantastic to work with. She took care of everything, including ordering pizzas from elsewhere in the mall. I brought the paper goods and cupcakes and everything else was handled. We were in a party room in the back that is utilitarian but also decorated. I definitely appreciated that there were separate tables for the art and the eating! I was perfectly happy to not be out in the front of the store with the general public. And the price was totally reasonable given everything that they did for us. Would definitely host another party here! We've also come on a random day just to do a walk in ceramic painting, which was also great. Lots of selections at all sorts of different price points. You can also do walk in canvas painting.

We eventually ended up forgoing this year because she's still so young she wouldn't fully appreciate the experience, but plan on going for some Mommy and me time. The staff that I was in touch with while planning the event were all so helpful, responsive, and friendly. Even when we decided to pass on holding the party there, after we had filled out the form and not yet put in the deposit, they were so understanding. They get high ratings, they're located conveniently in a mall where if you have youngers you can go to the playgrounds in the mall, and if you have olders, they can walk around and do a little independent shopping. Looking forward to visiting soon!

I optimistically brought a bag for fabrics, but I unfortunately couldn't find anything quite to my taste. However, they did a great job colorcoding all of the different fabrics. The store is fairly organized considering how many donations come through. I really appreciate how they even use different drawer systems and cabinets for different subcategories of items. I do think most of the supplies would be great for educators or children: lots of odds and ends that would be put to excellent use given the right creative minds. I walked away emptyhanded, but I imagine someone would love the vintage postcards, various stamps, or Nat Geo magazines I flipped through. There's some street parking nearby, and they have a small private lot. Be sure to check their hours and any updates due to weather on their Instagram!

Everything is included in the cost of the ceramic you purchase. They don't tack on fees for brushes and individual paints. You buy the ceramic and then have fun - which is how it should be.
