“This is the best art supply store. It just seems to have everything for every medium commonly used. There's a wide variety of markers to choose from. They also have gift cards. One gotcha, parking is very difficult. It's best to walk there. There is validated parking from an adjacent garage though.”
“I have worked with Mr. Bellisario twice and have had great experiences both times. Easy to communicate with, very knowledgeable and fair. A coin expert! And also (I found out today) a geography expert! Generous with his time. Highly recommend!”
“enchanting and special place where they welcome you with a warm hug and a happy invitation to learn and grow in the craft of knitting and crocheting it absolutely delightful experience”
“I just brought some items to build my flower wall and I worked with the number of staff that were all very friendly and helpful.

“I just want to give a special thanks to the two wonderful staff members who filled and arranged a massive quantity of helium balloons for me last weekend. I know it was a lot of work and I really appreciate your patience and kindness. The balloons looked amazing (my 5-year old was overjoyed) and they are still going strong 5 days later despite the cold weather. Thank you!”

“Knowlegable and trustworthy- Harvey, the owner, is certainly knowledge of coins. He was direct about the value of items left to me by a family member and paid immediately upon pick up of the collection. The impressive part of the interaction was that Harvey called me after he was back in his shop to say that he had found additional valuable coins under a velvet box insert and he was sending me an additional check for their value. That is a trustworthy trustworthy business person!”
“What can I say...I LOVE Michael's and find myself feeling happy whenever I go there. They have every decorating, crafting, art, baking, party supply item you could possibly need. The prices are great. The staff is nice and helpful. I especially love coming in during fall, Halloween and Christmas times as the decorations are always so fun to look at.”
“Arts & crafts galore, picture framing wonderland, and all the holiday decor you can think of. I just stopped by to see if they might have some cute Christmas-themed signs or trinkets for my new apartment and was blown away by the amount of stuff they had. Not to mention, the shelves were fully stocked for the most part!It felt like all the Christmas stuff was all on sale?? I mean everywhere I looked it was either 40% off, 50% off, or buy 1 get 1 50% off. Trouble for me that's for sure. This was a fabulous surprise. I went in looking for the possibility of some cute Christmas stuff, and left with and entire carriage full of stuff: a 7 foot fake tree, white lights and colored lights for my tree and to put up outside, garland for my fireplace that looked real and not tacky, a star topper, fake greenery to put in a vase, and more. The fake trees on display really take the cake here. They are all out on display the second you walk in, so you can get an idea to scale of what they look like with their lights on as well as the size and height of all them. They were on crazy sale and even without the sale it seemed like reasonable prices to me!I come here often throughout the year but this is the place to go if you're need something for the holidays!”
“Very friendly owner. Great selection of boxes in a variety of sports and categories. The owner was very knowledgeable. Very simple shop that is straight to the point.”
“Elissa is incredibly knowledgeable and shop is welcoming! She is able to create patterns, alter patterns and work with all levels in a calming way. I had asked several people to help me make crochet billiard pockets for an antique table. She immediately was willing and excited to work with me. She first had to teach me how to crochet and then after a few trial and error starts, she wrote up the pattern and I now have six beautiful billiard pockets in the color I wanted. I enjoyed the process so much I got back into knitting.
I would suggest calling in advance to set up a time if you need detailed/lengthy help with your project. Enjoy Creative Warehouse!”
