My husband and I visited this particular store in Village Square Mall. He felt interested in the paint brushes for his hobby of painting figurines. I just wanted to look around at everything! No employees greeted us as we walked around the store, but we found what we wanted. The shelves were packed full of merchandise, and the prices were reasonable.

I love shopping at Michaels. I always find what I need when I shop here. Granted I also always find…read morea bunch of stuff I don't need, but that's half the fun, right? Jokes aside, I really do enjoy browsing, seeing what's on sale, and thinking about how I'd use the aisles of materials and items to redecorate and get crafty at home. This store is always clean and well-organized, which definitely contributes to the whole "I love browsing here" thing. It's in a convenient location for me too; and it's doubly nice because I can walk through Michaels and Target during the same errand run. It's definitely worth stopping in seasonally to see what's new, at least to me! I had so much fun shopping here over the summer because of all the outdoorsy/camping-related decor. Now of course the store has been taken over by fall and Halloween items - which means soon I'll be back again to see if I need to add anything to my in-house winter wonderland. In the past I've also shopped here when I've needed items framed and when I needed paint supplies. While I'm not really making much in the way of art at the moment, I definitely know where I'll stop first if I pick that hobby back up.

While Beehive Needlepoint has a great selection, I will no longer be giving them my business. The…read morestaff is consistently unfriendly, and there is one employee in particular who is outright rude to me and other customers every single time I visit. I have purchased a couple of canvases here in the past, but during my most recent visit, this staff member was so rude that I actually walked out right before making a purchase. They carry Penny Linn canvases and accessories, and while I love buying those in-person, I refuse to support a shop that treats people this way. It is incredibly disappointing--they even have an item in stock right now that is sold out everywhere online, but I would genuinely rather wait for another shop to restock it than give Beehive another dime. As a fairly new needlepointer, I just don't feel comfortable asking for help here. I used to come in for thread, but from now on, I will be buying online or driving further away to shops that actually welcome their customers.

What an experience. I received three needlepoint canvases from this store for Christmas and took…read morethem in on Saturday 1/24 to purchase the thread for each and to shop around as it was my first visit. After 30 minutes in the store, I was never greeted, checked on, or even smiled at. I watched as the staff said hello to everyone that walked in the door and approached most of them asking if they needed any help. There were at least four or five women working and there were plenty of opportunities for someone to say hello without going out of their way. Two of them pushed past me to help other customers and one glared at me after I smiled when we made eye contact. After 30 minutes, I walked out. I have never experienced anything like this. There are a few great needlepoint shops in the Pittsburgh area and you can definitely skip this one.
