So anyway, I googled radiator covers, thinking that I would order something online and was amazed to find a local shop that specialized in them. I called immediately, and from my very first conversation with Sandi, I have had the BEST experience with craftspeople that I can remember. Sandi is funny, smart, has a wonderful eye. She is also very kind and patient, advising me through the process. She also matched the stain used throughout my house perfectly, which required mixing together 8 different tints! And she kindly made extra so that I could stain a piece of stair railing that had been replaced previously but never stained. My three radiator covers are just beautiful pieces of furniture that I am proud to have in my house. Sandi and Dan were a pleasure to work with, and are incredibly cool people, living an honest and creative life. If you are looking for any kind of custom furniture, you would do well to contact Sandcastle.

So we look over and we see no customers waiting to cash out or anything. Talk about micro management.. why can't see relax her feet when no one is around?? Is it any skin off this man's back? I worked in a fast paced factory setting and an American Eagle store before and it wasn't that serious. I don't know who or what this man's role is but if he really didn't want an employee to be comfortable at work then he should've assigned her something else to do while she waited for customers. I've seen this cashier work there before and she is friendly and works so I really don't know what this man's problem was. Oh and also, I was shopping in the bathroom section when I saw father and son(customers) testing out a soccer ball and this man really said "we have to sell that so dont do that." I see nothing wrong with testing out a product you're potentially going to buy. If I take it home and it's flat I would return it so why not give it a little test. Needless to say the duo walked away and I don't blame them, I personally would've walked out that store really upset. So I give 5 stars to the cashier because she held her composure for the most part, she was upset rightfully so. And I DEDUCT 3 stars for that man's micro management behavior at a RETAIL store because I don't believe all Ollie's have someone like that working there and I really do enjoy Ollie's most the time. So hectic, stressful and poor work environment. Disappointed..I hope to never experience this again.

I died when I discovered this hidden gem. Walking through Bedford Fabrics' doors was just like heaven to me. Or moreso like how Aladdin felt when he entered the Cave of Wonders & couldn't even phathom how endlessly rich he would be if he could take all the treasures with him. As a local designer, I find that sometimes Joann Fabrics is too mainstream for the materials I'm looking for. Bedford Fabrics has a collection of eccentric, one-of-a-kind fabrics & do-dads any lover of fashion could deeply appreciate. The $1.00/yard table totally sold me. I had several moments of indescribable excitement rummaging through the vintage prints that I simply could not leave behind. $1 a yard?! Come on!! I was able to make a great fun/summer dress that all of my girlfriends wanted to own for themselves just for the print of it! Aside from bargains, there are a myriad of excellent fabric selections that inspire dress-making ideas at first glance. & the price is still right! The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, & suggestive. Any questions you have will be pleasantly answered. I will be getting ALL of my materials from Bedford Fabrics from now on. The only thing I'm bummed about are their hours. They are only open til 5 during the week & I have a day job!! Saturdays are the only days I can indulge in the greatness that is Bedford Fabrics. read more
