After a family vacation in Clearwater Beach, FL the photographer I hired to do a family photo shoot…read morerecommended My Favorite Art Place for my canvas collage that I wanted. Jess was great to work with and set me up with a gorgeous collage with 9 total pieces. Fast forward a few months, one of the couples in the photos break-up, my son and his long time girlfriend. So, I reached out to order a new pic in the collage. To my surprise Jess mentioned that they may be able to edit this person out of the photos. We opted to replace one of the shots with my son's Golden Retriever. The work that Jess and her team did was nothing short of a miracle! I had no idea that this was even possible. I re-ordered 4 more canvas photos and have a revised family collage! If they can do this, they can do ANYTHING! See pics below

We were greeted immediately upon entry. There is A LOT to see. It is a well organized place. Items in glasses cases were labeled so that you knew how to request a key to view items. There is an elevator as well as a stairway to go to the 2nd floor. Lots of items to browse through. Some items were really pricey and in my opinion, not truly worth it. Some items were rare, and definitely worth the price tag. We weren't on the lookout for anything specific, so we didn't purchase anything, but enjoyed our experience.

Extremely rude employees or owners. Google maps say they close at 5pm. We arrived at 4:38pm, as we…read morehad never been and wanted to check it out. There was no sign on the door with hours, and as we walked in no signs either. One older woman comes right up to us and says we close at 4:45pm, you have 5 minutes very rudely and we said thank you and she grumbled. Then a man walks up to us immediately after saying "guys we close in 2 minutes" very rudely and I said well on google maps it says 5pm and he mumbled that they had to change that. Very unfortunate since it looks like they had some cool stuff and we definitely would've came back to get some big pieces but both of those people were so rude for absolutely zero reason. If you have a strict closing time then please ensure all your business affiliations reflect that, or put a sign on your front door..... I also checked their own website and it says 5pm closing time. Completely ridiculous. Maybe they had a bad day but definitely not how you treat people at anytime.
