I visit Michael's about once a year. It's not even for specific holidays or occasions, it's for my…read morehobby urges. You know how you suddenly think of a new crafting hobby then maybe or maybe not do it after getting all the supplies. Today I was in the mood for cross stitching, something I was really good at in childhood and never attempted recently. It seems like fun fall pastime. And so, I found myself at a local Michael's in Beachwood. STORE: The store is very clean and well stocked. Everything is meticulously organized. It's really impressive. I also found it to be very well lit so you can inspect all your craft finds. I was looking for a cross stitch kit but also found a lot of embroidery kits. No designs really worked for what I wanted - something nature-y. But there were some fun ones - cafes, pasta, and more. Cross stitch kits seem to be phasing out, but here they are between $11-20, not a bad value. The store is full of seasonal stuff - Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. You can get everything from seasonal plates to nut crackers. I was most into Christmas merry go round. SERVICE: The service is very friendly. I was able to ask an associate on her way to clock in some questions about what I was looking for. She suggested where to find my products, and some alternative finds. So, really really good service. I would come to this store again for my obscure hobbies. Next time I'm planning for more time to look for cross stitch kits and other hobbies I've abandoned years ago.

I neglected to ask the price before ordering them thinking how much could they cost? (I had done my own framing years ago and know that the product cost is very little and using my very unprofessional tools it took barely 2 minutes.) My husband picked them up for me and when I looked to see the charge they were $78.54. Can you imagine !!!! I called and spoke with the manager who gave me some guff about how expensive labor it. Right....they have all kinds of professional tools which makes this very fast and inexpensive!!! She offered 10% off which amounted to $7.84. Whoopee! I told her to keep it!
