For context (or to beat a dead horse) I grew up overseas and was never able to consume as much of the local stationery as I would have liked and it seems this store always has the things I wanted when my parents said, "you have so much already." I'm old, we wrote letters on paper then and having nice paper was a big deal. I am thrilled to have a place to buy nice paper and fancy pens, from a local business instead of some balding monster on the internet. Also the people are helpful here without ever being snobbish about things that are easy to be snobbish about.

This Michaels felt significantly bigger than the one we have at home and they have self checkout which isn't an option at the Benton Harbor location. I ended up buying stickers and 2 molds originally meant for baking, but I use them for resin projects. Having been home for a bit, both the molds work well for what I needed them for and the stickers work as expected as well. Bathrooms were clean, employees were nice, and store is well organized. Things are well prices as well as most items being on sale and having coupons through the phone app.

I'm not an expert on beads or beaded jewelry, but if you are looking for a great bead shop then…read morelook no further than...THE Bead Shop. The Bead Shop has been in business for about 20 years, 18 of which have been spent at its present Camargo Road location in Madeira. There are just endless possibilities for beads and jewelry, or so people say (heck if I'd know). I went in the other day with my mother and she was almost overwhelmed with those "possibilities," as any beginning "beader" might be, but if you have more experience with beads you'd probably be more excited than overwhelmed. If you are looking to make jewelry--because I guess that's what girls like to do--then The Bead Shop has all you can want and more. As far as beads go, The Bead Shop has pearls, glass beads, silver, crystal, and stones. They come in strands of 16 beads, although for a while I thought they were necklaces. The Bead Shop has "everything you need to assemble your creations," from earrings to clasps to hemp cord, and even many beading books and magazines. Another cool thing I saw on the walls was Indonesian masks that are meant to be hung on the wall. I saw two different styles of "Comedy and Tragedy," as well as a rabbit and a human "Whisper" face. The masks generally sell for between $30 and $90 (perhaps the $90 was because of the two, Comedy and Tragedy together), but they were marked down 50-percent. Overall, The Bead Shop is a very neat store and they are also very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

I did not get any framing done during my visit to Fabulous Frames, so this review is focusing on…read morethe art part of the store. There are several branches of this store around Cincinnati, but we chose this location because it has the largest selection of Charley Harper art. For those unfamiliar with Charley Harper, he was a famous artist who trained and did a lot of his work in the Cincinnati area. A lot of his work focused on wildlife and was done in a modernist style. This location carried a wide variety of products in Charley Harper and the Harper Family art line. In addition to some beautiful prints, there were also items like puzzles, ornaments, stationary, and a lot more. We spent a lot of time just looking at everything. It wasn't hard to locate - as soon as you walk through the door, there are floor to ceiling framed prints to check out. In addition to Charley Harper's work, we also saw a number of Edie Harper (his wife)'s work too. This is a good place to go if you are a Charley Harper fan or if you are shopping for one. Service was satisfactory - the employees didn't hover but were available if you had questions or needed help.

I wandered into Urban Eden while checking out what Main street downtown had to offer…read more This store features arts, crafts, gifts and other wares from local and regional artists. Each artist has a shelf or a little area inside the store. There were some beautiful bird baths and garden stuff. My favorite section of the store is the bookshelf in the back on the left that contains those Arcadia history books. Each one is about a certain piece of Cincinnati's history. Some talk about immigrants, others about neighborhoods, and some about families and companies that have flourished here. I like looking through these books as they are fascinating! I ended up purchasing an "I love OTR" sticker for $2 and am very happy and proud to finally own one. The owner is super sweet and is open most of the time but will open up shop if you have the shop's card and will come down and open it up for you!

We bought several of the Cincinnati history book series for my father in-law for Christmas. The first time we visited, the husband was looking for a specific Christian Moerlein beer poster, and the woman working the register was very nice about trying to help us find it. He settled for a different one, but as we walked back down the street, she had found it and even came out calling for us to see if he wanted to swap. So nice! The owner apparently is open to taking calls if you need her to open up shop for something when they are closed. This is a great store to browse on a lazy OTR walking day, or if you are looking for some interesting gifts or jewelry off the beaten path.
