Obviously, I'm not going to pay for the class twice and ask to be reimbursed later. I called FFG and left 3 messages. No return call. So finally I sent an email. Turns out their phones weren't working (no one had gotten my messages) in addition to their website not accepting the Groupon voucher. I finally got my class booked and made my fairy garden- success! The class was great and the woman who helped me (one of the owners) was super kind. If you are looking for a unique addition to a home or garden decor collection, this is a great place to go. Just be careful with communication! (communication and organization does not seem to be this business' strong suit) . Anyone

The sweet lady working there was super friendly, and when she asked if any of my purchases were gifts I was surprised when she offered to gift wrap them! I wasn't even charged extra, and she did a great job making my gift of Colorado socks for husband look extra special. My kids had a good time checking out all the neat things too, plus they have a bathroom which was very convenient for my 5 year old to use. I ended up buying a new sling bag/purse which seems very high quality, themed socks for my husband, a cute wine bottle topper that "chirps" when you pour the wine, and a "dammit doll" which I had actually been looking for one for a very long time and was super excited to finally find one! I felt for an old town/Main Street store, the prices were fair. Be aware, along with state tax there is also. "Windsor town tax" added to your bill as well.

A farmer's market in the winter? How awesome!…read more My sister and I walked around and explored the booths in the market. She purchased a peanut butter flavor dog treat for my dog and he loved it. We sampled a few food items like pistachio flavored peanut butter and pumpkin flavored granola. All the samples were yummy and I wish I had money to buy more. Although I love farmer's markets and supporting local businesses, the premiums are high and can bust your bank account if you're not careful lol. However the fresh greens have reasonable prices and I recommend loading up on those.

Having a winter farmer's market can be very refreshing when you are trying to endure the middle of…read morethe cold season. This little Winter Market fits the bill nicely. The crafts and displays are informative and fascinating. There was a vendor selling all kinds of mushrooms that I never heard of before which seemed interesting and were most tasty when done up in a dish. So in that regard, the vendors itself gets four or five stars. The problem when I went here was that it was very busy and there were about thirty people all trying to look at the same thing at the same time. Lots of people walking back and forth in a tight huddle and little to no elbow room. There is lots of talking obviously which makes the place very loud and hard to hear anything with what people are saying. The Opera Galleria is a mini mall if you will that really doesn't house much for permanent shops. If there were not such a crowd it would be very enjoyable. Now I am not one who is prone to claustrophobia but I had enough of people being loud, stopping to look at something right where I was walking and generally being a nuisance so I did not stay very long and just waited by the entrance for the person I was with to complete his purchase. This Opera Galleria may sound like a good place to hold an opera but the acoustics really blow, it was not meant for something like this to be held here. I am sure there are better venues to hold the Winter Market in town, even though none come immediately to mind, and in turn hopefully the crowd could be more palatable with more space and breathing room.

You can discover the perfect shade of paint to revive that old, ratty-looking bookshelf. 'Even create a D-I-Y project, leaving you truly proud of the results, suddenly realizing that you DO actually have some "handyman skills" you might have been a bit intimidated to try out. Or, you can upgrade ho-hum holiday decorations, 'making your window displays the talk of the town. Perhaps you simply need an attractive bag/gift wrapping option for a sentimental gift for someone special. I shop at Michael's for all of the above purposes. The photos I'm including with this post illustrate just a couple of the "upgrades" Michael's has assisted me with regarding my home decor. The candle & oval wire sconce/holder were purchased at M.'s, at a very reasonable price, & now the Feng Shui of my home has, indeed, been altered positively (*or so I'm told). :) The orchid-wrapped branches in the brown vase were also purchased there, and can be beautifully lit by simply plugging in the vase. (*My camera didn't capture the brilliance of the lit flowers with the flash, so I photographed it 'un-lit'). The luminous, turquoise-colored fabric underneath my HD television box is also from Michael's. It upgraded something as simple as a basic, electronics and TV stand into a colorful, elegant-looking area (at least one that's better than a bundle of cords, 'tucked behind a flat screen TV stand-and the color enhances my room colors beautifully). Michael's has a constantly evolving inventory, filled with creative crafting supplies as well as beautiful, finished items (such as the unique, rounded, bronze-patina, hanging candle sconce-'of which I posted a photo). M.'s price points are definitely competitive. All you need to do is walk the aisles, view the copious amounts of inviting merchandise, and truly, the ONLY limits are your creativity and imagination. You can improve your home overall, turn your bedroom into a sacred and cozy space, bring a classy vibe to furniture, art projects, photo albums, and gift wrapping...or even create/upgrade a bird bath (*IF that's truly your 'thing'. 'No judgement-I've seen many a magnificent bird bath. It's just not me). ;) 'Bottom line, Michael's delivers quality merchandise at a great price, and as a bonus, has just updated its return policy. You now have 6 months (it used to be 14 days) to have your receipt remain "valid", meaning a necessary return or a changed mind will NOT limit your ability to return or exchange an item(s). You can decide, in person, how an item fits along with your home design, match paint for your craft project, or simply decide that your talents may not fit the items you originally purchased, and still experience a hassle-free return or exchange process. Now THAT's a classy, legitimate, and ethical business model; and as a consumer, makes Michael's my #1 store for virtually limitless decor items, crafts, home projects, and even holiday and event-related items. ***Tip: M.'s actually also has a HUGE wedding section, 'complete with silk-flowered hair pieces, lace cornered guest books, and garter-shaped confetti...!?!). 'Pretty amazing and DEFINITELY creative. Add the friendly, knowledgable employees and a competitive pricing/return policy, and Michael's is a no-brainer to be your NUMBER ONE selection as a comprehensive, creative, home/artistic/decor and event supplier. Shopping at Michael's pretty much equals a lifestyle upgrade: it just depends on which area you want to begin with!
