Found parking conveniently right in front in the street since it was a quiet day out. I was looking for wool roving which she didn't have, however, she was so kind to explain the difference between the types of material and she showed me the correct type of yarn she did have that I'd be able to pull apart with my carding brushes! She had a lot of equipment to use for yarn crafts and it was great to see the variety of product inside. Apparently she holds craft nights and such too which I'm planning on looking into. Prices here were sooo much better than all the places I've found online which is also have to pay extra for shipping. She also even rolled the yarn into a ball for me before we left. Hopefully they'll have wool roving here soon, but I'm thankful for the yarn we were able to purchase for my current projects :) The best part -- her dog Jasper kept us company throughout our whole experience there and he is the absolute cutest cuddle bug! Can't wait to come back.

It's…read moreSeptember and there is already plenty of Christmas and Halloween decorations, all at 50% off. I peruse the store, and it's very similar to Michaels. They have material for just about any craft or hobby, including jewelry supplies, yarns, paints, fabrics, books, and lots of artificial florals. What I didn't see was cake decorating materials, but maybe I missed it. I came here specifically for their yarn. They have many different yarns in their own brand, Yarn Bee. This yarn feels really soft to the touch, so I look forward to using it for my next project. Their yarns are comparable in price to Michaels, but they don't have the large 1-lb value skeins. I also appreciated that there are some Christian items, including calendars, books, and other knick knacks. My only minor complaint is the line to pay. I only had a few items, but there is no self-check available, so I had to wait in the 1 line. Other than that, this is a nice crafts store with a decent yarn supply.

We are big fans of Arts & Crafts furniture, so imagine our delight when we recently chanced upon a…read moregreat find at a local thrift store: four Arts & Crafts dining room chairs that were almost a perfect match for the four we already had -- at price of about $50 for all four. A great deal, except that the cushions were uncomfortable and the coverings were a cheap-looking red fabric that we really hated. We had refurbished our original Arts & Crafts chairs ourselves some years ago, refinishing the wood and replacing and reupholstering the cushions. We did a pretty good job, too. But that was then. Since that time, the wonderful Foam store in downtown Palo Alto has closed and we had no idea how we'd find the right foam for the cushions without seeing it and feeling it for ourselves. We are also 25 years older than when we did the first four, and much less patient. My husband started with one chair with foam purchased at Michael's but it was all wrong. The foam was too swishy and the newer chairs were a little trickier to recover. We looked into hiring a pro to redo the chair cushions and found Dan's. They were amazing. Beyond amazing. They whole job was done in two days. We took the cushions and the fabric into the shop on Tuesday. By Thursday, all eight chairs (the four new and the four old) were done and looking great. Not only was Dan's super-fast, but they came out and installed the new cushions to make sure they all fit. I bet you think that sounds expensive, but the price was great, especially for the speedy service and home delivery. We had envisioned a long and difficult project of re-doing the chairs ourselves, but instead we are now done with new chair cushions ready for guests we're expecting next week. We are delighted with Dan's Upholstery, and would highly recommend their services.

I had a lousy experience with Dyan, a designer/salesperson at Dan's. After making an appointment to…read morelook at fabric samples in their showroom, we were disappointed because we didn't find any appropriate fabrics (end use: upholstery) in the colors of my daughter's room. The man who was on site that day was nice but not helpful. In emailing Dyan later, I wrote that perhaps we should have come when she was there, because she might know the memo books better, and could point us in the right direction to find an upholstery fabric in a lavender or lilac color. Her response was that "Lavender and lilac are not popular in today's fabric industry, but we do have a selection of white upholstery fabrics." First of all, she's wrong. Mills and fabric houses offer plenty of options in lavender, lilac, and other shades of light purple. Just look at Kravet's, Robert Allen's, or any other to-the-trade website. I worked in that industry for 20 years. Second, that wasn't what I asked. I asked for her help, and I was told the color I was seeking wasn't popular and I could try a white fabric. (Of course you have white fabric!) This was not helpful, and to be told that what I was looking for is not popular is borderline rude. Her response put me off so much that I've delayed the project for a year. I'm now beginning the process with another upholstery shop and am reminded of my negative experience with Dyan at Dan's. Maybe if you get a better salesperson, you'll have a better experience. But I'll never recommend Dan's.

Eileen, while a nice person, is utterly incompetent and unreliable. If you consider yourself a busy…read moreperson who needs someone to perform alterations within a specified time frame, AVOID Said with Threads and strongly consider going elsewhere. Her inability to properly schedule appointments and have projects completed on time disqualifies "Said with Threads, LLC" as a viable option for having clothing alterations performed. If you are an East Bay resident and need alterations performed, please read the rest of this review before scheduling an appointment with this establishment. I've been going to Eileen since December 2024. Online reviews looked good, and her shop was near my house, which made it convenient for me. I encountered an odd issue with her during my first visit. She had informed me my pants were ready for pickup, and I specified the day/time I would be coming in. When I went to her shop for pickup, I called, and she informed me she had gone to deliver an order for someone else because she didn't think I would appear on time. I was completely baffled as to why she reached this conclusion and why she admitted it verbally. Between September and October 2025, I had requested that she perform alterations on some pants. On this occasion I was charged the day I left the articles with her and was assured they'd be ready on the date she had specified. Prior to picking them up, I called Eileen and informed her I was on my way. When she answered, she told me my pants were not ready and that she hadn't even started working on them. I was quite upset over this since more than a week had passed since I'd left the pants with her. About a month later, I brought in a blazer she had worked on previously and asked her to reattach the buttons, as some of them had come loose. Although she did not charge me for this, she assured me the blazer would be ready on time. She failed to have the blazer ready on time when I went to her shop. I went to go run some errands for about an hour, and when I came back, she had finished working on my blazer. This indicated that she did not need more than a week to work on my blazer and had procrastinated or otherwise failed to make good use of her time. What frustrated me, however, was the condition in which she returned my blazer. It was covered in lint/hair/debris and had a strange odor to it. I had dry-cleaned it prior to leaving it with Eileen, and her utter lack of regard for keeping it clean really upset me. Most recently, during December 2025, I requested an appointment two days in advance. I wanted her to hem some pants I needed for work. She had agreed to meet me at 11 am on a Wednesday. On the day of the appointment, I called her to let her know I had arrived. When she answered, she told me she had mistakenly marked my appointment for a different time/day and had left to attend to another client.

I found Said With Threads through a Facebook wedding page and Yelp (all with good reviews!). Eileen doesn't uncharge for weddings so her price was much more reasonable compared to other bridal boutiques. Another reason I chose her was because her shop was close by, only a ~10 minute drive away. Initially, the plan was to have the dress done in 3-4 visits but it ended up being a total of 10 (!!!!) appts... literally up until the week before leaving for my wedding. It was soooo stressful going into each appt because it was always a gamble on whether or not the dress had been changed/fixed since the last appt. In addition, EVERY TIME that the dress was too tight, she asked if it was because I was bloated/swollen from being on my menstrual cycle.. even when I'm not (not sure if it's just me but I find that to be lowkey rude lol) 6/21 - initial consult 7/9 - first fitting, measured and pinned 7/16 - waist too tight, cut hem 7/30 - waist still too tight, uneven hem 8/4 - cancelled due to covid 8/24 - still the same waist tightness, she noticed I was upset so she planned/pinned the bustle 8/28 - waist slightly looser but still tight, bustle uneven 9/3 - nothing done because she thought the appt was the next day 9/4 - tightness around the waist still the same, shoulder straps uneven, I requested to see the dress with the bustle undone and I noticed that the hem was way too long when the bustle was let down 9/9 - waist feels even tighter, I had to recommend her to measure my waist with my regular clothes on for comparison 9/10 - dress fits well, she fixed some slightly loose fabric under one armpit when I pointed it out but OMG FINALLY DONE!!!

Everything was as it normally is in Cupertino and it was all setup the exact same way. So o was grateful I felt comfortable walking up and down the aisles looking for the things I needed for my next DIY project. Since I just moved in, I had a number of random odds and ended I needed within the framing department as felt and wood glue for my dinning room table- well the wooden chairs scraping across the floor is driving me nuts and I know I can make those footie soft pads cheaper than buying a set. Anyways, since I'm a registered Teacher with Michael's my discount works and that always helps me out. I will definitely be back here again and I'll remember to take pictures next time. Hee.

This review is for their balloon bar and delivery service (they use DoorDash). I had the pleasure…read moreof speaking with Monica when I called a couple days in advance to confirm an online balloon order for delivery. She was super helpful and friendly. The overall experience was great! There were some reviews complaining that the balloons would deflate after just a few hours and I was a bit concerned, but the balloons held up pretty well and actually held up for a whole week. To be honest, we didn't need it to hold up that long, as long as it was inflated for the duration of the party, that's all that matters! In terms of the value, for what it's worth, with ordering ahead and being delivered straight to you, I thought it was a great deal! I received some quotes from balloon vendors for the exact same bundle and it was 4xs the price, so Michael's balloon bar worked out just fine for us. Just a couple things to keep in mind: we ordered 4 separate bundles and all 4 were completely tangled together when we received it. Luckily, our amazing friend was able to help quickly untangle them. Not sure how this could have been prevented, but just a heads up in case you need ample time to untangle before your event! Also, when ordering ahead, you have to pick a delivery time window instead of an exact time- this means the balloons can come earlier than expected or at the tail end of the time window. You can try to call and coordinate with the store, which is what I did, but still received it earlier than requested, which was OK. Earlier is better than late in my opinion. Hope this helps! If you need basic helium balloons for an event- I'd totally recommend giving their balloon bar a try. I'd personally place an order again in the future.

This place makes dreams come true! That's it…read more I was a completely clueless guy, overwhelmed with where to even start when shopping for an engagement ring. Through a friend's recommendation (already a good sign), I went to see Richard, and he helped guide me through what to actually look for. Over the course of 2-3 months, I visited him multiple times, asking for advice, having him look at diamonds I was eyeing, sending inspiration photos, and trying to figure out that what I wanted was basically a Frankenstein combination of multiple ring styles. Still, he entertained every idea I had. He told me more than once, "I don't want to take your money if you don't want what I'm giving you." That alone says a lot about how he runs his business. After all the planning, brainstorming, and back and forth, Richard and his team pulled it off. He helped me give my fiancée the ring of her dreams, something unique and special enough to match who she is. So thank you, Richard, for helping make that happen, and thank you, Shelly, for always entertaining me and making me feel like family during what was honestly a pretty stressful process. You've made the whole experience feel exciting and personal instead of overwhelming. Oh, and to tie it all together, I did introduce my fiancée to Richard and Shelly. That's how big a part they played in the story of our engagement.
