Keren Brown, the owner of Mondaes, has been awful with us and to us. She refers to herself as a…read morebusiness wizard, even boasting that she'll teach others, for a price, on how they can grow their own business. Visit any of her Instagram posts and you'll see her singing her own praises over and over. But in my opinion, she's an awful business person. Not only have my experiences with her been overwhelmingly substandard, but I'd personally witnessed her be downright unprofessional, nasty, accusatory, with others, going so far as to lie to someone's face repeatedly. She's lied to my daughter and I, she's lied to other students, she's lied to her staff, she's lied to potential customers. You may ask, why I had continued to return to Mondaes. Why would I give my thousands of dollars to them? The answer is I love the hobby and I cherish the friendships I've made. The fellow students I've encountered have helped create a fun community, something I looked forward to every week. Combine that with the excellent education that Pam and Dave were providing, and it made it worth dealing with the unprofessional Keren. Multiple times Keren asked me if I wanted to invest in Mondaes, the last time via email. Previously, she had asked in person and once had called my home. I asked her for a Profit and Loss statement. I can't imagine investing in anything without knowing where the business stood financially. She said the last year's numbers wouldn't look good because things had been slow. Keren said she would get me the statement, and then failed to provide it at all. Without that statement, I needed to do some research so I could formulate an educated answer should she present the question to me again. I found information doing a "Liens Search" at Idaho.gov. I researched Keren Brown, Mondaes MakerSpace and Puffy Mondaes, the two business names Keren used. She changed from Puffy Mondaes a handful of years back for what, a "fresh start" dodging creditors, liens and responsibilities? Same business, same owner, same space, same stock...just changed the name. Last I checked, there were over 59 liens against Keren, some of them open, some of the closed, many of them new, most of them not very old. The latest was as recent as 5/15/25. Liens are primarily for non-payment of loans and taxes, but most disturbing is her non-payment of her staff. Back in 2023 I learned of an employee that had to go to the Labor Board to get paid wages that were way overdue. That employee eventually quit Mondaes. In 2024, I learned of other employees not getting paid. In 2025, Keren lost five employees, including Pam, Dave, Daisy, Muriel and Jasmine, supposedly due to nonpayment of wages. One may ask themselves, how do I know all that? Keren talks a lot, and she's loud, there are hard floors and sounds carry. Oh yeah, there's also a lien against her from the Labor Board and the police have also been into Mondaes numerous times to serve legal papers, including multiple for non-payment of rent. On the note of non-payment of rent, Mondaes tends to move unexpectedly, before leases are complete. Very reminiscent of dine-and-dash. Combine all these factors, she lost her best asset in teacher Pam Main, she was holding classes that were overbooked for the equipment available, gave disjointed commentary, lacked level-appropriate curriculum that was underwhelming at best, I knew I couldn't stay any longer. She was incredibly rude to myself, some of my fellow classmates and other customers. She lied to me, to other students, and to other customers. And lastly, I'd been there on more than one occasion when the police had been in to serve her legal papers. Aside from the community of fellow potters, there was no reason to return to Mondaes. For many of us, spending our hard earned money at a business that was so bad at business, so dismissive to the community, didn't make sense, so many of us aren't returning.

For those of you that may not know, natural fibers like cashmere, do not melt, only plastic petroleum based yarns will melt. This company may have changed their name to try and mask themselves from the spurious products they sell. Be very aware that this business sells yarns that are marked as 100% cashmere but they are NOT 100% cashmere. They will melt, ruin your iron and your ironing board, and make any work you have done to create a textile worthless.

Don't be fooled by the sales and amazing coupons for JoAnn Fabrics at the Federal Way location…read more While shopping, keep a running total of your purchases and let the cashier ring everything up before presenting any coupons. It seems every time I shop here (which is not very often), the cashier manages to "apply the coupons" so I get the least amount of benefit. For example, this last time, she applied the 50% one item to a $2.99 purchase and brought my total purchase down to $34.87 so I could not benefit from the $10 off purchases over $35 - so I saved $1.49 instead of $10. I'm not sure, but I have to wonder if the company or managers train the cashiers to do this on purpose since this has happened to me the last 3 out of 4 visits. Maybe the location on Milwaukee is better, but this will be my last visit to the Federal Way store.

Whether you're into graded cards of Bob Clemente, new arrivals of Drake Maye, Topps Allen & Ginter boxes and blasters, or Pokemon, Ross Cards & Collectibles has it all. The two guys managing the store today were kind, helpful, and did not stand over me as I reviewed the cards. A quality of service I appreciate. I want to review in peace without judgment and peering eyes. Could I have shopped on eBay and WhatNot? but why paid an additional 100-200% mark up. Its better to support a local business than get robbed online. I came away with some cards that I wanted and I will definitely be back on the regular for more Drake Maye and perhaps some T Henderson as my Pats are back on top. Thanks Ross Cards & Collectibles and Go Pats!

I even gave Kyle a Jacob Melton Auto last visit to give to an employee that PC him. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was the complete opposite. I was looking at purchasing around $600 worth of wax and politely asked if there was any flexibility on the price. The employee helping me couldn't authorize a discount, so he checked with the manager. Rather than introducing himself or greeting me, the manager immediately responded that they don't discount new wax and that maybe they'd consider something at $1,000 or more. It wasn't so much the answer that bothered me--it was the condescending tone. I simply said, "Okay, thanks," and headed toward the door. As I was leaving, the manager said, "Have a blessed day," followed by a chuckle that came across as sarcastic and unprofessional. To be clear, I wasn't demanding a discount. I asked a reasonable question on a sizable purchase and was perfectly fine with being told no. What I wasn't okay with was being treated like I was inconveniencing someone by asking. Customer service matters, especially in a hobby built around relationships and repeat customers. Based on this experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Make sure to have them on your phone or use the mobile app son you can get a discount on top of the already discounted specials. The staff is friendly and very polite. On one occasion, I was looking for white Christmas bulbs and didn't see any stocked on the shelves. I did see them stocked on the very top shelf. An employee Roberto was looking at my perplexed face and said, " I can get those down for you. How many do you want?" Kudos to Roberto for recognizing an issue and acting on it before me or anyone else pestering him to go get the ladder. Young man, Roberto, that intuitive customer service will take you places. As for the moss, paint by numbers Gnomes, picture frames and thr assorted comic book decor for any Marvel or DC man cave, Hobby Lobby has it If you're lucky enough to have the cash on hand to take advantage of the discounts, do it and have no regrets because it won't be there long. Well, maybe the Christmas Chihuahua dressed in a purple robe may still be there in February.
