This place was a childhood favourite for me, like I'm sure it was for every girl growing up in the…read more'90's. I made dozens of those little beaded lizards, bubble bees, etc. (which I was happy to see today that they still sell those in packages). I gave one to everyone, and still have a drawer full of them somewhere (I can't dump them, the memories are too cherished). Oh or when we'd braid strings into bracelets. Or just take a wide assortment of beats, spell out our names, and make jewelery with that. Bead & Plenty More was the place I went to get my supplies. Seriously, this place was like heaven and still is today. I feel like a kid in this store. The assortment of beads and general craft work in this store is amazing. Whatever you need (wire, pliers, potential pendants, craft books, etc), it's all there. Just walking into this store and seeing all the shapes, colours, and materials (metal or plastic beads) got the creative juices flowing. Oh how I miss those days where giving your friends a custom made bracelet or necklace was a big deal, and that was their birthday present. I think I need to return to those days, even if it looks cheap.

Finally, an alternative on the road from Banff to Calgary!…read more Yes, the service might be slow, but you wait 9 months for a baby and the piece of buttermilk chicken was almost as large as a baby.... Things move slower in the country, this is no different. The food is worth it though. While we waited, they offered us a banana loaf coffee cake (no charge) that my youngest demolished. It was delicious. The bannock is superb. Easy to get to, ample parking Immaculately clean So very selfishly I implore you to eat there so it can stay open so I can eat there more often.

Wanted to pick her up some fabric as well, so for that they sent me to the south store. Huge selection, like I would guess thousands of rolls. Also tons of nachines. The ladies here were equally helpful and took my wife's notes and found me the perfect fabrics. Thank you.

I am visiting from out of town and was shopping at fabric stores. I was taken to this store. What…read moreimpressed me was the variety of fabric. What didn't impress me was when I arrived at the cutting table. The agent working at the cutting table was in the middle of a personal call with another store associate who isn't working today. The personal conversation did not end when I arrived at the cutting table but continued a full 5 minutes before I asked if there was someone who could help me. Meanwhile I did learn about some of the work politics going on between co-workers. I will omit details. This store is right by fabricland and the prices are higher than fabricland. I would have left to shop there instead but this store had a pattern that I couldn't find elsewhere. When a customer chooses your location they should not have to wait for your personal call before you choose to help them. It's disrespectful and I didn't need to hear about the politics. Shop here for the fabric, not for the customer service.

I went to three different yarn stores one day recently looking for something in a specific range…read morefor my project. I was so excited to walk into Gina Brown's and see the vast expanse of beautiful yarns. The lighting in the store is bright and makes it easy to see and compare colors. I noticed right away the prices on some of the better quality fibers like merino and alpaca were significantly better than I had seen in my recent travels (like to STASH). I was asked if I needed help, and when I explained my project, got immediate direction to what turned out to be the perfect yarn in the perfect colors (although I did peruse the entire store before deciding, I was just that excited.) I took a little convincing on the colors available vs. those on backorder, but it turned out the ones I'd picked as a potential compromise were better than my original vision. The lady behind the counter (longer hair, with a cane) said she'd been in the color game for over 35 years, and she was certainly spot on. I'm so grateful I found Gina Brown's, and I will be back and bring others!

Excellent picture frames and great place to pick up seasonal items from Easter, Halloween to Christmas. Staff is very friendly and the iOS app is great.

This new Michaels store in East Hills is da bomb!…read more As soon as I came in and asked for help at Customer Service, Ashley (manager) came & greeted me and took me to where I needed to go. She was helpful, efficient, kind and even offered me a discount on my purchases because they didn't have the quantity that I needed. I arrived almost at closing hours but did not feel rushed or judged. The store was clean and well organized. I was able to get in quickly and got everything I needed for my art project the next day. Whew!

The owner seemed nice at first but I realized she was not genuine when I went to meet her in…read moreperson. Having told her I was working on my first big project and that I was still figuring things out, she was impatient and it felt like she took advantage of the situation. Long story short, she ordered items before I confirmed, as I specifically asked for a quote first, and pressured me into buying them. I had emailed her asking specifically for quotes if I were to purchase X items, and she responded saying she had ordered a bunch of the items and told me the price in the same email. I was shocked by the price and could not afford the full amount I was looking for and initially felt bad, telling her Id take them off her hands since she'd already ordered them, even though I no longer even needed those items, but did not realize how expensive it was and that I just couldn't afford it. When I went in, she said it wasn't her problem and that she had ordered them just for me, and felt that I had led her on... all I had done was discussed the project with her and asked for quotes, and I had been transparent about not being sure about some things being my first project of this scale, but she went ahead and ordered BEFORE giving me the price, there is no obligation on my end to purchase at the end of the day. I could have not shown up at all that day but I am someone who keeps their word. She ended up giving me 10% off, which was literally just one of the 10 items free (I spent close to $1k there, you're welcome, on items that are literally $45 less at Michaels, and I will never be back).
