If you are into crafts this is your store. Check out the framing area in the rear of the store…read more They offer many options and I found the unique one for my project!

When it comes to framing I usually think that Michael's has the market kind of cornered but it's…read moretime to try some other (non-big name) shops after my recent experience. I needed some very simple mating for two prints (really nothing fancy, just basic) and had them made. Much to my dismay, upon getting them home, one fit and the other didn't. I returned to the store to have the issue fixed. The guy was nice about it and even agreed to mount and insert into the (very cheap) frames I already had given the mistake. But then things took a turn for the worse... A week went by and I heard nothing. Returning to the store, I happened to be in the area, I chatted with the framing department and, ultimately, the manager (?) - escalation on their side, not mine - and he was not very pleasant. In fact, he was down right combative and in-my-face about the fact that the work was not done and that I should simply wait for a call. Long story short, I did get a call and ultimately picked up my pieces - they look great by the way! So I'll chalk this one up to a stressful time of year and (other... :) ) frustrating customers.

The downside is the store can be very narrow when it comes to the aisles, only one shopping cart can get through. On Fri-Sun, the line for the checkouts is too long.

Hobby Lobby is a store for crafters. I had a poster that needed a frame. They did an amazing job…read morebringing additional detail to it by matching the colors in the poster to the boarder. They were also about to put an envelope in the back to put in a certificate. Very happy with the finished product.

Hobby Lobby is a shady company that types in prices by hand (wtf?) and I always end up paying more!…read more The cashiers cannot possibly know all the sale prices. So they take out there circular for every freaking item! After waiting for 20 minutes in line I overpaid $10! Not worth getting back in line to try to get my money back. Shady business hiding behind religion.

Simply the best selection of fabrics and service that I know. Other stores may have lower prices,…read morebut the quality and service can not be matched. It's easy to get swatches also. Only bummer is that they stopped selling thread, as apparently most customers pick out fabric and then have someone else sew for them, however I sew myself so you will need to make another stop at e.g. Michaels or a similar store.

Super cute stationery, greeting cards and party goods store! They even have teacher gift bags…read more They had tons of super cute washi and Chicago themed stationery and postcards. I made sure to check out their sticker selection. They got some good Taylor swift themed ones. I didn't get those because I couldn't decide but I'll be back for those! It's nestled in downtown Downer's Grove. Very busy when I went. I found it hard to find parking so avoid lunch time unless you are able to nab a spot. I think the items are a good price! You are supporting a small business and there are lots of themed items that you can find to fit your mood. I'm definitely visiting again!

I am unfamiliar with the history of these sets from generations past,and though I am grateful to have them, they are simply not needed! I brought many pieces into AAA on each visit,I was initially a bit intimidated and nervous to pursue the route of selling, that went away immediately as the entire experience could not have been more kinder, informative and honest! This little spot on Ogden Avenue in Downers Grove is very welcoming! I sold many pieces and was able to leave with payment right away which was a delightful surprise! Hoping to find more Treasures and I will definitely continue to return to this fabulous place! Kay

The first time we went in, Jim was very thorough with how the customization would work, timeline, etc. we decided quickly that we wanted to get our bands done here.
