“My ɓrother needed a new floral arrangement for his wife, who passed away a couple of years ago. Last year, I reminded him of the Floral Connection. He had put fresh flowers before, and of course, they did not last and even got stolen or blew away a couple of times. He took my advice and got a beautiful arrangement in the selection he wanted.I must say it held up and still looked good, but it was time to replace it.I took the saddle he made back to Floral Connection as the anniversary of her passing is in a few plus. Memorial day is right around the corner.There might be less in price, but the gorgeous design, quality product/ materials, and well made from trustworthy source.Thank you, Floral Connection, in Milan by the bowling alley just off Rt 67.I can't wait to pick up the saddle display for our much loved one. This is the essence of reasonable quality!”

“Five Stars for Mary in the Davenport Frame Department!

I cannot say enough good things about Hobby Lobby in Davenport, IA, and specifically Mary in the custom framing department. Over the course of several visits, Mary helped us reframe a cherished family heirloom—my father-in-law’s watercolor painting that had suffered mold damage to its mats and backer boards.

From start to finish, Mary was remarkably patient, kind, and deeply thoughtful. Reframing this piece was no small feat, especially given the extra challenge of working with an existing metal frame, and a time crunch, because I planned to transport the painting out of the US with me. Mary’s expertise and skill guided us every step of the way. She cut new mats for us multiple times—including after an unfortunate mishap where I accidentally cut myself on the frame glass and got blood on one of the freshly cut mats! Throughout it all, she was so gracious, compassionate, and reassuring to both me and my teenager.

Thanks to Mary, the final piece turned out even better than the original matting and framing (the photo attached does not do it justice because of the camera glare). She transformed a very stressful situation into a wonderful experience, and we are so grateful for her care and dedication to preserving our family piece. If you ever need custom framing done right, go see Mary at Hobby Lobby.”
