This is quite the interesting shop. It is a mixture of boutique and consignment shop rolled into…read moreone. Think of it as a specialty craft shop. A lot of what you will find in here are items that have been reclaimed or repurposed. Gives it a little bit of a crafty twist and somewhat personalized. If you want to look at it in a different light, think of this as an Etsy account brought to life. It is a great place to find a thoughtful gift for someone. To top it all off, they have vintage furniture pieces throughout the space that look like display pieces, but in reality they are up for purchase as well. Some of the furniture pieces are quite interesting and I have never seen them personally. Wedding gifts, bridal shower gifts, holiday gifts (no matter the holiday), furniture, and the list could go on. Don't worry guys, there is even things in here for you as well. They actually have a section of the space blocked off and labelled as the 'Man Cave.' Even if you do not purchase anything you can at least get yourself an idea of how to repurpose something you have or how to create something new. Hours are short, but totally doable. You are able to hit up this space rather quickly. There is an entrance from the parking lot and there is an entrance for the WOW Outlet next door as well.

Craftique Collections is tucked inside of a shopping plaza so it often gets over shadowed by Sea…read moreBase (a kid friendly party and entertainment business) and the Pa Driver's License Center. With this being said, I find myself not stopping in for most of the times I pass through. The name of the place doesn't fully divulge what it is all about. It's basically a central place for crafters to display their work all year round. Similar to craft shows held routinely at various churches, fire halls etc. Some crafters are better than others, but there is something for everyone. Some a little more kitsch-like , some more country-themed, a few booths carry candles, jewelry, hand-stitched items and much more. The nice thing about visiting this shop is that the inventory changes routinely, and in most cases, you are able to place a more personalized order with the crafter of choice. Craftique Collections has been around for more years than I can remember, and can be a fun stop to shop for those craft-style gifts all year round. It also offers crafters an opportunity to lease a section of the shop to display and sell their own items.

They also will do repairs, even if the machine isn't a Brother. If my sewing machine is acting up, I know I can take it here to get the problem solved. In the last year, I started to give sewing and quilting a try. I like coming here because the ladies are so knowledgeable and can answer my questions without making me feel dumb. It can be a question about thread, fabric or needles, they are willing to take time to help me. There are always new projects around the store for ideas. The fabrics are of very good quality. Most people run to Joann's when looking for sewing materials, but I recommend that this place may have what you need. There are no sales or coupons needed, but the service and help is here.

As a follow up I went to Mccormick vac in Ohio. Opened my machine while I waited. Removed a thread ball and I was back on the road Home is 15 minutes. Machine running well. I didn't expect to be given priority over others but I did expect to have the machine looked at.

Well worth the stop, even if you don't necessarily need anything to be framed. They have plenty of…read moreframed, unique, ready to go prints in stock. If you are pricing custom framework or frames, I highly recommend including this place as an option. Inventory, and selection of frames, is unbelievable. Since I am not very familiar with custom frame prices, and matting, I had no idea what kind of cost to have in mind . Nor did I have any real idea on how I wanted the finished product to look like. No worry, that's what professionals are for. I was very pleased with the service and guidance I received. They were very helpful, honest, and patient, during my decision process. I was given several different options, and price points, to choose from. Once I made my selections, a work order was made-up, and my customized order was ready as scheduled. I will definitely keep their services in mind for any future needs. They also stock plenty of giftware lines, seasonal items, and collectibles .

She had a terrible attitude walking up to us as my friend was painting, and then asked us "What we are trying to accomplish" by recording ourselves painting. When anyone goes anywhere with friends or family, people take pictures and record themselves having a good time. Renee even took our pieces away after we offered to pay for them, and for her service. I did not appreciate the clear micro aggression she presented and the attitude she had. She even continued to question my friend if she was a Pitt student! For anyone else thinking about coming here- reconsider.
