“had a great experience here yesterday. the person who helped us out was verrrry busy but handled our questions with great knowledge and then took extra time to find something and track us down in the store to help us even more. not much else to say if all employees are anywhere near that helpful!”
“We were in town for the holidays and I was looking for a beginner knitting pattern and supplies for a gift. They had kits at the store but they were out, so instead I got wonderful recommendations for a pattern, good yarn and needles. The ad hoc kit was exactly what I was hoping for!!! The store was fully stocked with a wide variety of yarns. And the pricing was so reasonable. While we were winding the skeins for my gift yarn I also got a lot of advice for myself!! My favorite part about knitting is the community, and this shop exemplifies everything I love about this community. If I didn’t have to fly home I would have bought a whole sweater’s worth of their yarn just for me. I look forward to coming back the next time I am visiting Portland.”
“I have seen this store on my commute constantly, but never had the time to check it out. Today I did and it was worth it! It has so many unique paper designs, tons of stamps, stickers, and everything else you can imagine - all for a fair price. It seems there is even a crafting area to work with fellow scrapbookers and the store offers classes as well. It's an amazing little store, and I unfortunately don't have any pictures because I was simply too excited to stop and take any ?”
“love seeing a local business with such a large collection of supplies! the staff went above and beyond helping me find what I was looking for while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere! highly recommend”
“My wife and I were in town celebrating her 60th birthday and Bailey was kind enough to arrange a class for us as a present for her. What a fantastic experience! We can’t wait to come back and do it again!”
“Mainly stuff for handwriting and painting but I love the variety. I found stuff I didn't even know was a thing. And the prices were reasonable and lower than expected. It's not Michael's or Joann but it holds a good spot in the race :)”

“Such a creative, cute shop. The owner was so sweet and approachable when we came in. If you love to restore furniture, you’re never going to want to go anywhere else!!!!”
“Pearl Packing did a great job mounting a very large and heavy piece of art in a difficult location high in my stairwell. This was not a job a regular handyman would accept. This required creative problem solving, teamwork, and good communication and they were able to get it done while maintaining a careful consideration for my art. Everyone on the team was a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend their services.”
“I *love* working with the team here! Each time I've come in to get my paintings framed for shows, sales, events, or just for home decor, the I've Been Framed team has been so patient and informative. I can do the painting part - and I lean on their expertise, experience, and quality taste to help with the matting and framing. Each time, they come up with phenomenal solutions - aware of my budget limitations and challenges.
I love the solutions they came up with for my delicate watercolors! I think it was Dawn who helped me with this one (photo attached) with double mat and museum grade anti-reflective glass.?
Malachi especially spent a lot of time explaining and problem-solving many options for a series of small paintings I needed to get framed for a gallery show. THANK YOU! I'm so very grateful!”
“I had a weird experience at this location. My purchase allowed me to leave a review and I did. The next day the manager reached out to me directly to take responsibility, and tell me how they were going to address the problem. This response made me feel comfortable going back, I have been a few times since and have had positive interactions and left with some fun art supplies. It feels rare to get validation from a business and for people to demonstrate healthy conflict resolution. I think that is awesome! Thank you :)”
“Hands down, the best art supply store in Portland!! There is such an incredible variety of high quality materials in such a small space. All of us artsy folks are so lucky to have such a fantastic locally-owned supply shop right in the heart of SE Portland!”
“Nice people. Good selection of glass. Max size 1' x 1'. Looks like they have a nice class facility. Adequate parking
9/26: as always found what we needed. Had questions about specific colored glass, the staff was very helpful in locating it”
“my partner and i walked here from the east, so the sun was in our eyes. this, among other distractions, caused us to stumble upon this shop. thank you! now, i am keeping very good secrets safe in my new orange journal.”
“I stopped in looking for some help fleshing out ideas for my DIY wedding invites, and the sales associate Shane who helped me was SO knowledgeable and kind! I am truly clueless when it comes to paper crafts, and he was able to point me in the right direction with proper paper sizing, weight, and custom wax stamping. Highly recommend!!”
“Being from out of town, I love the curated supplies, artist staff that can vouch for them and the opportunity to shop on Sunday after 5, when the Portland Art Museum closes.”
“Kandace!!! I so hope I’m spelling her name right. This cool girl works at the cutting counter. I’ve only met her a few times but she is amazing! One of the kindest employees in the store. She is always so fun! She’s quick and straight to the point when cutting. It’s hard to shop with a toddler, especially when you have to wait for fabric to be cut. But In her past life, she must have been a cowboy because that girl has a quick draw! all around this is an awesome employee! She needs a raise or something lol. Even my mom loves her!
-the redhead who’s mom gave you my Etsy shop business card?”
“Got great stuff for all my hobby and crafting needs. But, as it is with every Hobby Lobby in the history of ever, it's kind of spendy. So shop sales and clearances! The staff at this one was also very standoffish. No greeting when we entered and we saw two staff members that just looked at us as they passed by. As a retail manager myself, that's not what staff should be doing. Still, overall a fun experience and we ended up finding what we were looking for on our own.”
“My favorite place to go when I only need one thing!! ? I always find way more than I went for and am happy when I leave!! A perfect shopping trip every time!!”
“We bought a Gear Bot for our school. Our Gear Bot remote control did not work, so we called the Lake Oswego store to ask what we should do with the toy that wasn't working. The person on the phone treated us great. She was kind and very helpful. We took it back to the store and they helped us exchange it right away. Thank you!”
