I went to Discount Art Supplies and Framing to find a frame for a 48" x 48" piece of art that I…read morebought from the Florida Artist, Anthony Burks, a few years ago. I was recommended by the Mill Pond Curator to visit the shop. I wasn't sure if it was open or not on Easter Sunday from the way it looked outside because the windows were mostly covered by canvases. I walked in and was taken aback by how much there was in the store. There was a lot of stuff stacked on top of each other but definitely organized. So I was thinking that I've found my local art supply store after walking around the store to see what all they had as inventory. I ended at the frame moulding near the back of the store and picked up a couple of moulding corners to inquire and receive quotes. I was walking to the counter near the register and was told (by someone I assumed the owner) to leave the molding over at the wall area and tell him what I am framing so that he can give me a quote. I found it odd because in order to get a frame quote, you never need to know what a person is framing although it can help to ask if the person doesn't know. I informed that I just want a frame and it doesn't matter what I am framing exactly but I do need just a quote. He asked me to tell him what I am framing. I informed him it wasn't required but I need a quote. He let me know that he can't help me with a quote if I don't tell him what I am framing. At this point, I had already put the moulding corner sample back on the stack of boxes. I let him know "thanks" but I wouldn't be back since he can't help me. ‍ Basically, the store was quite organized but super overstocked with inventory, etc., and their customer service sucked.

If you're into well curated,eclectic and quality "stuff,"then this is the place to go. Owner and staff are knowledgeable and super helpful and everyone is made to feel welcome.

Michaels is a great place if you're looking for arts and craft supplies or even gifts for children…read more My sister used to work here so I would often visit this location to see what was in store. This store is great for scrapbooking products because they have aisles upon aisles of stickers to add to your collection. They also have tons of baking supplies (mostly Wilton products) that will be more than sufficient to aid you in your baking hobby. What I don't like about Michaels is that their merchandises are pretty expensive. Make sure to have a 40% or 50% off coupon when you want to buy something. This coupon helps make their merchandises more affordable. What I do like is that they offer cake decorating classes during the week for really cheap. I completed two of their Wilton cake decorating classes for about $20 each. The reason why I deducted one star is due to the slow customer service at the cash registers. Lines can get pretty long when there are only two registers open. They need to open up at least another register to get the lines moving faster.

Prices are not the best in town, the Michael's just a few blocks down the street has things cheaper but I thought it's a small business I could support. However, the most recent trip made me definitely not wanna go back. I walked in to a customer talking to the owner at the checkout counter. I didn't pay much attention to them as my mind was fixed on getting the supplies I needed for my project. The conversation got heated and both parties raised their voices so I stopped to take a look. I saw the owner pointed his hand toward the door and said "out, out!" and she angrily left. When I was done with my shopping and came to the counter to pay, he smiled and said, in his very limited English: "black people, trouble trouble right?" It's bad enough yelling at a customer, it's entirely another level of rudeness to make racist comment to another customer. Am I apparently better than the other lady just because the colour of my skin?

Today, I dropped in to the Grand Opening celebration of the new store in Woodchester Mall. It's a very busy area with lots of free parking. Immediately upon entering the store, numerous beautifully signed framed photos of Toronto Maple Leafs (TML) star players lined a large wall. Plenty of other gifts to choose from. Everything in the store was 25% off and refreshments and cupcakes were served. I completed a ballot for an opportunity to win a grand opening prize. I also entered a $5 raffle for a chance to win a pair of TML tickets for an upcoming game. Staff were helpful, friendly and courteous. My son-in-law is a Leafs fanatic so I picked up two items for his new basement Leafs Man Cave!
