Being in Jerry's Artarama was like being a kid in a candy store! For a long time I've seen ads for…read moreJerry's but was never anywhere near enough to shop there. FINALLY, I was in Nashville & knew I had to go. The selection of all things art was amazing! I made several purchases (including some 100% cotton hot press watercolor paper that I had been wanting--at a great price too!). The employees, who are obviously passionate about art, are really helpful. I cannot wait to go back to Jerry's Artarama as soon as possible!!

I stopped by Sunshine Weaving and Fiber Arts and had such a lovely experience. The shop is easy to…read moreaccess, with a parking lot and an accessible entrance. Once inside, it's bright, well-organized, and genuinely pleasant to browse. They have a beautiful selection of reasonably priced yarn and fiber supplies in a wide range of colors, textures, and types, perfect whether you're starting a new project or just soaking up inspiration. Everyone here was so sweet and welcoming, and generously shared information about classes, group meetups, and other fiber arts offerings. It really feels like more than just a shop it's a community space for fiber lovers. One highlight is the classes and events hosted here: TGIFF (Thank Goodness It's Fiber Friday)! Every Friday, 5:00-7:00 PM (FREE)

No more Hobby Lobby for me! I believe the owner is named Cindy. She and her co-worker were so…read morefriendly and helpful. They really know their product and give great advice. They have a wide selection of higher end yarns like marino wool and alpaca which I haven't seen at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. What sold me most is they are a great resource to tap into their knowledge of fibers and techniques. I would not go there to get a kit for your teen to start learning on, get cheaper yarn elsewhere. But for an afghan that will last a lifetime, get the good quality yarn found here. They also have group sessions on Thursday from 1-3 and Friday from 5-7 to meet with other knitters to work on your project and socialize. I recommend you try it.

Imagine ordering a single item online because you think it will be an easier experience to have it…read morebrought curbside rather than entering the store. And imagine you discover that this was an utterly disastrous choice that threw off your entire hectic schedule. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that this Michaels isn't like others and is severely understaffed, but we learned that the hard way. Let me be clear that it isn't the employees who make this a lesser Michaels. It's the management and the inefficiency of their system here. After following the online check-in protocol and parking outside in an allocated spot, we waited for 20 minutes our singular item to arrive at the car. It never did. We entered the store only to find a long line. One unfortunate cashier worked mightily to handle the madness when at least two should have been present. But they struggled to keep up with the issues arising. This is the reality of some stores in a post-COVID era who have turned to self-scanners and fewer employees. But it was reaffirmed on this early evening that you simply cannot replace human problem solving. The line grew. The desperate cashier recommended using the self-scanning checkout options to diminish the line. Only one person obliged and none of the others budged. But they had good reasons, mostly. One customer in line needed to make a return which requires human interaction. Another customer had just one question about framing as it appeared that not a single other employee inhabited this enormous store, with nobody stationed in the popular framing department. Elderly customers in line were technologically afraid of the self-scanners. And I just needed to pick up that ONE ITEM! When it was finally my turn, the employee had to leave the growing line and walk to a shelving section of online orders. Shouldn't there be an employee who handles just that? And they found my name but no product. That caused another 10-minute delay. They eventually just pulled another one off the shelf. But a quick errand on the way to an important appointment that should have taken about five minutes in theory became a 40-minute fiasco. And none of it was the fault of the solo employee trying to run the operation. Shame on the manager(s) for putting them in that position. I've now discovered why this is the lowest rated Michaels in Middle Tennessee!

Everything was organized into tubs, labeled, and very easily accessible. I loved their selection of vintage appliqués! They also have grab bag style assortment of things for a variety of crafts (junk journaling, scrapbooking, key chain kits). My kids loved looking around! Definitely worth a stop in while in the area!

My bracelet, which my granddaughter Khaleesi made me last Christmas, broke a few weeks ago. I was sad, made more sad because my fat fingers could not fix it. I remembered the kind manager at Michael's from previous helpful experiences so I thought she could direct me what to do. April guided me into the classroom where she worked on it for awhile - still answering other customer and colleagues needs while painstakingly stringing my beads together. Bless her. I learned how and why she genuinely loves working at Michael's, helping people with her beautiul smile. After many careful, creative minutes, April had my loving bracelet back together. What an absoutlely display of heartfelt kindness. I am going back with both grandaughters on Sunday for Make Break. And I have new friend with April.
