I inquired employees about the…read moreclose of the previous store and reopening of this one and they did not have any insight to why?! I stopped by this store for an in-store pick-up order and of course my eyes wanders the the 'SALE' areas for remaining Halloween decor at 70-80% off! Well I walked out with some crafty things for a great price and almost forgot my items to pick-up...where my visit took a turn. I received an email notifiaion that my order would be returned to the shelf/refunded if I did not pick up by the end of close. When I approached the shelves where pick up orders are located I couldn't locate my order. Upon speaking with an associate I was informed that my order was put back already because they have too many orders out. It was frustrating because I received a better deal online for the items I purchased. Note to self to pick up asap after ordering!

I would leave negative stars if I could. About a yeat ago I purchased a frame and had them frame a…read morepicture for me. They did a great job, looked good. 2 months ago the picture fell out of the matting. I toke it back and they said, no problem, no charge. They said a couple of days it will be done. 2weeks later - nothing. Went to the store and a girl who said she was filling in for the manager, (who got fired) said I will call you later today. 2 days later still nothing. Finally went in and it was done. Brought the frame home to re hang it. They moved the mounting brackets to the opposite end of the frame AND they were not even on the frame. I tried to hang the frame and it was on a 45 degree angle ! I will never go back there again,from now on I am going to Hobbly Lobby. I was told they do excellant work.

I first went here in 1999. My professor from Miad told me to go here for stuff because it is…read moreindependently owned and about 25% less for art supplies. It looks like a little White House with black trim. It looks more like an artist studio than a craft store. If you are there for the supplies you will hardly notice. Tradewinds does framing and they have traditional art supplies (no glue guns or glitter). Framing- a lot of artists go here to frame shows. From what I have seen, the work is perfect and the prices are very good. Art supplies--go here for Windsor & Newton watercolors!! Even the Series 4 (the most expensive) paints were REALLY reasonably priced! They also have sheets of watercolor and printmaking paper, well priced sketchbooks, paintbrushes. I found a rather exotic specialty watercolor brush that I didn't even know existed...and I've consumed a lot of art supplies. John/Jon is the guy that has generally been there and helped me. If you talk to him you will find him kind and funny. I wish more artists knew about this place and supported it. It's a gem.

This is a 2 day market held 3 times a year. WOW was it busy. Cars were lined all the way down the…read morestreet to the entrance of the huge parking lot. Crazy. The venders were great. So much to drool over. So much!! I will have to save some for next year and spoil myself with some really neat finds. There are lots of different styles and types of things being sold. Things for children and adults. Unique items and antique items. Some true artisans making fabulous items. Expect to pay for them. There were original painted and sculpted pieces going for hundreds of dollars. And then little vintage tins for 50 cents. One range to another price wise. I loved some things that I wish I could have gotten. There were food trucks INSIDE the sports complex and coffee and popcorn and more. It was really fun for me, but I love looking at all the different and unique items. Everyone there seemed to enjoy it and were walking with bags!!! All a good sign that the venders did well. There was an Old Fashion candle I now wish I had bought. Can't stop thinking about the smell. Ahhhhhh! I plan to go again.

Held at the Franklin Sports Complex, the space is large and parking lot was full when we arrived just after 10am. There's a small entry fee, but it was well worth it to access all of these creative vendors in one space. With 150 vendors, it's impossible to list everything that's available but a short list might be: handmade soaps and candles, jewelry, paintings, postcards & magnets, upcycled wine bottle candles and glasses, repurposed metal and wood art, salvaged antiques, creative air plant displays, and much more. There's a good mix of vendors to please the young and old. My parents and I both found things to fit our tastes. There's plenty of Wisconsin love and local sports team products to check off anyone on your Christmas list. While we missed the consignment area in the front, there are hourly raffles that are free- so put your name in to win some of the objects on sale in the hall. There's a small amount of food offerings, which could be expanded! We didn't see that there were beer and Mimosas until we were leaving. That might have loosened our wallets! Looks like this event happens again January 28-29, 2017, in April, and perhaps again in November. So check their website or 88.9 Radio Milwaukee or WMSE for announcements.

The store is super full though and has excess junk in the back that is visible. Great customer service. Keith really knows his beads and can make whatever you request. We ultimately purchased four bracelets and some earrings that ended up costing $150. I'd say that was pretty pricey honestly. I mean the beads were nice, but not like some expensive/rare stones. I understand part of the charge is labor, but not sure I'd say it's worth that price. Not to mention, one of the bracelets broke after only wearing it once so we need to return to have it repaired-which is inconvenient since we live in Chicago. So...good place to visit...proceed with caution in terms of your purchase.

One day though, one day... The staff prefer to handle the bolts, so if you need a yard or two of anything, please get them to help. This isn't Wal-Mart. Additionally, they will cut sample swatches of almost any fabric on display. The staff on hand are not pushy, and they are knowledgeable in what they sell. They also offer home consultations if you just can decide on which pattern to select for curtains. What's more is that they offer upholstery and window treatment services! Getting here is easy, and there is a private parking lot available. When you're done, it's easy to just hop over to Mayfair for more shopping.

The furniture is ancient, 3x as old as me and is still in amazing shape for its age but dear God was it hideous before I brought it here to have it reupholstered. The prices here match the top-shelf quality and luxury of the products and services, so keep that in mind. The staff was really helpful in finding me the right fabric and patterns for what I was going for. I was a little nervous handing over my furniture considering its age and my history with it but within a couple weeks I got my furniture back looking gorgeous and brand new without any problems whatsoever. I was so happy with their upholstery work that I even had them make me a rug and some drapes that work perfectly with my "new" furniture. Awesome place, I'll definitely be returning if I need any more interior help in the future. If you want excellent, professional service and luxurious fabrics, come here!!!

The store is well-organized and always clean, making it easy to find what you need. They have a great selection of cards, gifts, and Christmas ornaments--especially during the celebration season. I also love the unique and miscellaneous gifts you can find for any occasion. Their prices are comparable to other Hallmark stores, and sometimes you can even find better deals. There's always something on sale, and if you download the app or become a member, you can access coupons as well. Plus, the in-store clearance section is great!
