I walked in and, after shopping, found a piece on sale (yes, they do have sales) in time for my Super Bowl party. Customer service is beyond compare, and the representatives are very knowledgeable and helpful. On given evenings, they invite guest artists to explain their craft and engage in discussions. The evening chats also include refreshments. Please give this place a chance. You will not regret it.

We accidentally discovered this Tinley Park VOGT visual art center and we were sooooo glad we did!…read moreMy 9 years old was over the moon with all the trains, trains and more trains!!!!! They had multiple displays of trains all over the place. And it was FREE to visit. The staff was so nice and friendly and most of the trains belong to them where they put it on display for us to see and admire. I love the little details around the trains with Santa, reindeers and if you look closely, you'll see the back to the future car and even Batman and Robin! The young conductor showed us how to operate the toy trains and even let my 9 years old drive it. He had a blast. The thought, time and hard work they put into the display were simply amazing. It was soooo beautifully done and there were pictures of the old Tinley Park train stations hanging all over the place. If you're ever in the area, please stop by and check them out. They put in so much work so for all the little boys and girls in us who loves train can enjoy a wonderful time learning and seeing all the cool trains!

What a lovely space, I am so glad I got to discover it…read more My granddaughter's art teacher submitted a painting of hers for a "What I love" exhibit and the opening reception was today. It was a peak moment for me. The Arts Center is located in a gorgeous old home in the middle of downtown Tinley Park. It has been modernized with first floor bathrooms and a ramp from the back parking garage. There are benches and a coat rack to make things even more appealing for all the guests. I plan to visit much more often as the selected art on display changes on a monthly basis. Who knows, maybe I will even submit a piece for one of their open shows?

I had an amazing experience with Nix Nax. Truly top tier service. I needed a custom shirt for a…read morefriend's birthday celebration and called that same morning. Within an hour, I had created and sent over my design, and they had the shirt printed and ready within the next hour. That level of speed and responsiveness is hard to come by. Not only was the service incredibly fast, but it was also very affordable. For a single custom shirt, I paid just over $16, which I thought was more than reasonable given the turnaround time and quality. This spot honestly saved me from having to make an hour long drive to my usual place, and I'm so glad I found them. One thing to keep in mind, they were able to turn this around so quickly because I made my own design and it was printed on a white shirt. If you're looking for a colored shirt, or for their help in design, it may take a bit more time, and they are upfront about that. Respect the process, they know what they are doing and they're good at it! Also, logistical note, the GPS will bring you to the front of the building, however, parking is on the next residential street or behind the store. Overall though, I highly recommend Nix Nax if you are looking for quality, efficiency, and great customer service. I will definitely be coming back.

They inform you when your items will be ready and call you to pick them up. They are really flexible. Although they offer a really wide selection of items to purchase, they also allow you to bring in your own items and they will customize them as you request. They are also pretty quick with completing the work and prices are reasonable.

Closed years ago! Barbara retired. Was a great place to get what you needed in cross stitch.read more

Dedicated needlework stores are few and far between these days, and I'm lucky I have such a good…read moreone near me. The sign on the store reads "For Those Addicted to Cross Stitch," and there are certainly a lot of cross stitch patterns and supplies, but you can also find needlepoint, hardanger, needlepunch and supplies for other needlework techniques there, too. Not every designer is carried (you would need a HUGE store to accomplish that), but new merchandise comes in frequently, and Barb, the owner, will gladly order anything she doesn't have in the shop. And speaking about Barb, she is one of the friendliest people I've met. She knows all of her customers by name, and I have never seen her in a bad mood. Her staff are equally as friendly. You are always greeted when you come in, and you have only to ask for help, but no one hovers over you. The shop may be a little tricky for first-time shoppers to find. Beacon is a small side street just a couple of blocks west of LaGrange Road, and they are on the second floor--no street-level storefront. But once you find it, you'll see it was worth the effort to look for it.

There are items for sale but I think the bulk of their business is to assist you in redecorating. And it's not that expensive! My friend bought a very cute side table they had redone for 85.00 and is having a dresser she owns redone for slightly over a hundred. There are lots of fabrics and they are available for home visits. I liked it so much that I was very dismayed to see a dog there when we visited. I get it, you don't have much foot traffic but a dog just doesn't belong in the public part of a business. Granted, it was a tiny, extremely quiet and well behaved dog who went immediately to sleep. But I haven't brought my daughter back here because she has such severe dog allergies. Please keep the dog in the office part! I do plan a return visit and sure hope there aren't any dogs to greet me, no matter how cute and well behaved they are.

They were very welcoming as soon as I walked in. As I began to ask questions (unlike the receptions I had received at other places) I was given direct and knowledgeable answers about products, how they verify their products, and straight forward prices for each product I inquired about. I highly recommend this shop for not only their wares, but also for their welcoming and positive attitudes. This is not just a wonderful shop to do business with but also a great place to meet great people!
