Items for sale were all reasonably priced and there were around 160 vendors. It took awhile to decide what I wanted/needed to buy. Finally bought 3 stained glass flowers ($5 ea) to put in my planters and a pretty necklace ($18). I wanted another necklace but it had no price and there was no answer from the artist after the cashier tried to get a hold of them which is a shame because they lost a sale). I was visiting from another state but I hope I get another chance to go back.

She helped us so much when we hosted a birthday party here.

The prices were very fair as well. We loved it and will definitely be going back. Highly recommend!

Super fun experience this afternoon at Gleam & Glimmer stained glass studio. I love Victorian…read morethings, one of my Victorian type loves is stained glass. I started looking around Buffalo for a class on how to do stained glass and found this studio online. I thought it would be fun to try to learn how much work goes in to making a stained glass piece. The piece we did in class today was a lantern.It was a very fun and educational way to see a small bit of what goes in to making stained glass art. We did not need to do any glass cutting or grinding, that was done for us. Thank goodness, as a beginner I would have wasted so much glass trying to get it right. So, the pieces to solder together are all ready for you. I won't go in to the specifics of how to solder glass together, but it was a very manageable thing even for a beginner. There was plenty of teachers/workers around to give tips and all the fellow students in the glass were more experienced than me and were more than gracious to give me tips as I went. I was honestly very excited to use the soldering iron. My husband prefers to not let me use power tools at home so I was really, really excited to be encouraged to use the soldering iron here. I felt like Martha Stewart and it was a good thing. Did my lantern turn out perfect? No, I can see the parts where I should have soldered smoother. But did I learn a lot and did my soldering improve as the class went on? Yes, yes it did. This is like all crafty things and the more you do it, the better you will get at it. My husband was very impressed with the lantern I brought home, he was amazed I made it. It was a super fun class and I would recommend any one who wants to learn about making stained glass take one of the beginner classes here. They also have some stained glass works/pieces for sale here, in addition to the classes. They had a shop cat, Shadow, who was very friendly and social. I love cats, so I was delighted to see him. If they ever have any classes making cat stained glass art, that would be so far up my crazy cat lady alley. Watch their facebook page for updates when they offer different classes or check their website.

It was my first time there and I did not know it was specifically for classes, I just wanted to look at their pretty glass stained work.

If you're creative, this is a place you will want to visit. Excellent spot to find gifts for creative people of all ages! Bonus: the staff are all friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I was having trouble finding something and the staff member walked me right to the spot and made sure I found what I needed. The parking lot is large and easy, and the front entrance is accessible with no stairs. Restrooms are gender-neutral. The building itself is set away from the main street and hard to see if you don't know it's there. There is a tiny "Hyatt" sign at the driveway, which is shared with the oil change place. Go past the oil change place and you'll see the large blue building. This store is well worth seeking out.

I haven't done any classes there but whenever I've gone in, there are always people hanging out, talking about their work, and combing through the countless options. You can get individual beads that are priced per piece or you can get strands. They had exactly what I needed for some project, plus some things I didn't know I needed, which is, of course, the mark of a good craft store. It's an easy to find location with easy parking. I highly recommend you check it out!

Even more so, they offer a section for bday parties, which I think is nice for crafters, but it really lacked the luster I would want if I was hosting a bday here, adult or especially child. I did like the selection of Halloween stuff. There's traditional black and orange, there's more girly and modern stuff, and there was a section for black and deep purples they were starting to put up. Another nice thing is they had plenty of registers, including self-checkout AND people working their own registers.

Sooo, I turned to "Siri" and asked where Michael's was & it was down,a little over a mile further . It was right past the Amherst Buffet parking lot (yes,that's what I refer to it as,lol), and in the plaza where Trader Joe's is. It's way in the back of Trader Joe's lot. Easy enough to see when you're driving down Niagara Falls Boulevard. The new location is more spacious, cleaner & it seemed like it had more products. I , of course wanted to but everything I saw, but we went there for 1 thing, which they didn't end up having. I ended up getting something anyways (hehehehe), & they were cheap, which is why Jim bought them for me. =D. (I always make him spend too much $$) So, it's a very nice store, large selection, neat & clean, Nice employees, but of course,crazy expensive! I do mean crazy EXPENSIVE for most things. Otherwise, if you need stuff for almost any kind of "crafty" project, they probably have it.

They are able to custom steel work for just about any occasion. Having done work for local businesses like the Bills, Kiss 98.5, and Mighty, they definitely have made a name for themselves. They do a lot of military tribute items, but my experiences with them has been for custom wedding gifts. I had a lot of weddings this past summer, and every one I brought a custom piece of work from Steel Crazy. I worked with the artist, Dennis, and he came up with great designs that my newly married friends can appreciate for years to come. I did a wide range of steel designs from Disney, New York State, to Buffalos. Dennis and the rest of the team made all of my tough deadlines, and were able to create great pieces within my budget constraints. I'll be a customer of them for life. Highly suggest to check them out for those "hard-to-buy gifts for" people.
