Supplies are geared towards hobbyists with basic beads, yarns, frames, etc, and lots of craft kits for kids. You've got random holiday decor as well and a few fabric notions, but not enough really start making your own clothing from scratch. What makes it so special is first of all, the endless coupons and deals, so you'll never pay full price if come prepared. Secondly, your mileage may vary, but the employees that helped me were remarkably kind! I was prepared to entirely abandon my purchase because of the price, but they hunted down a lower cost option for me. Above and beyond!

Then the Ao5 Gallery in the Arboretum in Austin is your place. The gallery is daily open with a large art exhibition where you can stroll around and admire the art displayed.

A05 gallery features work from a variety of artists in so many mediums. Dr. Seuss collection is one of their consistently highlighted pieces. In addition, they also have a Disney section. The key thing I like most about this art gallery is the uniqueness of the pieces - from African inspired pieces to Austin-centric pieces. There are works of art portrait-like to many items that are abstract, my personal favorite pieces of art. Today, I wanted to see if they had any lacquered pieces. The ones on display were of Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. Not sure I want to view these ladies every day... Smile. It was great to see Todd again, the manager of the store. He reminded me that they were open 7 days a week and that they had more pieces online. Todd is always so pleasant to talk to. Another joyful aspect of visiting A05 gallery is that you do not have any high-pressure salespeople putting you in a chokehold trying to sell you something. Some of their art pieces are quite pricey, and some very affordable. Net, net, I love frequenting this gallery.

Ursula can work within your budget and still get the results you require. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hang Ups.

Malu was clearly very passionate, creative, and knowledgeable when it came to picking out specific frames and mattings to really make our items pop (she was very patient in allowing us to look through various samples until we found the pefect combinations for each piece). Pricing was super transparent and fair, lead time to get the framing was great especially for being during the holiday season, and Malu was super communicative throughout the process. The shop itself was very warm and welcoming. Malu does a great job of hanging pieces throughout the space so you can get a sense of the options and styles that are available. We will definitely be back for our future framing needs!

A loved one passed away a few months ago. In going through their belongings, I came across an item…read morethat immediately had immense sentimental value for my family and I knew it had to be professionally framed. By chance, I visited Blue Skies Art & Frame shop on the first or second day of its opening. I had not scheduled an appointment and Malu wasn't quite yet ready to be able to serve a walk in. I mentioned I would be leaving town for a month or two that same day so I, unfortunately, would not be able to schedule an appointment around that time. I was very understanding as to why I couldn't be helped but to my pleasant surprise she accommodated me without hesitation. Malu guided me through the process with such patience and positivity that I left knowing my personal item was in the best possible place and in the best possible hands. Malu kept me informed on the progress throughout the process, which I appreciated. After months went by, I finally returned to Austin and her shop. I still remember seeing the finished product for the first time hanging on her wall and immediately being blown away. The frame absolutely exceeded my expectations, and I could not be happier with how it came out. Even though Malu had been busy the months prior getting her business set up, she still remembered how important the item was to me and treated it and me with care to the very last moment. The fact that the frame came out beautifully and my family loves it, is the cherry on top. I'm not one to write reviews, but this is the best framing experience I've ever had, hands down. Malu is a great person, extremely talented, and you can trust her to deliver high-quality work.

There are different artistic pieces on both floors of the art gallery along with a gift shop on the first floor. The art pieces are atypical with bright and muted colors. The art gallery receptionist was very personable and allowed guests to enter with drinks from a nearby coffee shop. She also encouraged exploration on the second floor. Upstairs you could view some pieces still in progress. In addition, the pieces ranged from inexpensive to more pricier pieces.

I ended up at Arrowhead after hitting up a couple other shops who couldn't help. The guy there (I think his name was Harlem) was able to take a moment to not only detach the frame, but carefully remove the glued art, clean the glass, and reassemble...all as a courtesy. He also shared the risk of framing anything valuable between glass for risk of condensation/mold and other expertise along the way. Even though I wasn't there for any custom framing, his care for the art, frame quality and preservation far surpassed my expectations. Just filled my heart right up with gratitude.
