They are always friendly and willing to help. They definitely have the most variety of fabrics I've seen in the area. While some can be pricey I promise they're worth it! They also have plenty of rotating quilt bundles if you need inspiration! Bonus that they also have good technicians if you need to get your machine serviced. I will say my only complaint is I wish there were more fabric types. They obviously specialize in quality cotton/linen fabrics but I would love to see more types!

First time going to a Michael's in six years. Halloween items were listed at clearance for 60 %…read more The items were still expensive to me at a discounted price. Thanksgiving items were listed at clearance at 40% off despite there were still three weeks until Thanksgiving. A lot of items didn't have prices on them or listed by them yet the staff was there to scan for prices. I was able to scan my 40% off coupon to use on a regular item. Lots of savings and sales on new Christmas items like stickers and cards. You can access coupons on the Michael's website to scan at checkout register. My favorite find was an all black journal book & pages as well as Christmas holographic silver frames on blank cards to decorate & personalize. They were 40% off on sale or with a coupon. I plan to stamp hieroglyphics in the cards. It was the first time I used a self service register at Michael's - very easy to use. I plan to visit again when prices are lowered more for clearance.

There are glass bangles sold for both adults and children here, as well as clothes, and fabrics for a one-of-a kind outfit. The jewelry sold ranges from nice, fancier pieces, to smaller, everyday wear. The store owner was willing to help customers, but it did seem like a lot of the visitors were there to see the beautician, Kiran. I accompanied my cousin as she had a hair and makeup appointment with Kiran on a Saturday afternoon. My cousin brought her clothes with her that she planned on wearing that night as well as the jewelry needed. This was good as it made getting ready a lot easier. It did slightly bother and annoy me that my cousin paid ~$200, but because Kiran was the only beautician available, every 20-30 minutes, my cousin's work would be interrupted so that Kiran could do someone's eyebrow threading. This all worked out in the end, but what if my cousin had a shorter timeline for the work to be done in? I would have wanted the salon to ensure that another staff member was there to take care of walk-in appointments. I'll be honest, I did not feel Kiran took too many suggestions from my cousin and did more of what she wanted than what my cousin wanted. I also felt that because she kept losing time on the walk-in appointments, Kiran rushed through some of my cousin's procedure. Ex: Nails could have used another coat of polish, lashed should have been trimmed because they looked very unnaturally long, the eyebrows were colored in too dark... My cousin just kept being told that it was too late to make any changes. Kiran also did my cousin's henna/mehndi the night before and did a pretty great job with the designs. Kiran was very nice and I do know she works hard (standing on her feet the whole day), but if the day was any busier than it was, I don't think it's fair to charge such a fee if time is not just dedicated to one client.

ESIO - Your Trading Card Game HQ…read more My friend Louis has been introducing me to the world of trading card games -- specifically Sorcery, which is surprisingly deep and addicting. This whole TCG (trading card game) culture is huge -- there are cards out there worth everything from less than a dollar to literal millions, and there's a passionate community trading, playing, and competing worldwide. Enter ESIO. This store has everything you need to dive headfirst into this rabbit hole -- card boxes, sleeves, roll-up playmats, specialty dice, and more. I came in looking for a card box to hold my first set of Sorcery cards and walked out with exactly what I needed. The selection was solid, the checkout was smooth (Apple Pay ), and they even had free dice at the counter -- nice touch. The staff was super helpful and clearly know their stuff. You can tell they're into the games and happy to get new players started. I also like that they have the more advanced accessories (premium dice, playmats, etc.) for when I decide to level up my setup. If you're into TCGs -- Sorcery, Magic, Pokémon, you name it -- or if you're just curious and looking to start, ESIO is the perfect place to get your gear and connect with people who share the same passion. I'm excited to keep building my collection and my skills -- and this is definitely where I'll come back for supplies.

I took a class here in the spring and bought all the supplies on the list to complete the class…read more Except for the soldering iron which I already owned, I bought all the supplies from the VA Stained Glass Company and it came to under $600, including glass. The class was $100 and spread out across 8 weeks, with one assignment per week. I ended up completing my first project within that time span, and I was well-supported to have my questions answered in class or received help with the tricky parts -- of course I took on the hardest beginner template (which every shopkeeper warned me against) because I'm a creative masochist. I am glad I went for the extra challenge because I really like the piece I made. Finally, I'll sign up for the class again when I am ready to make my next piece. I like how the pace kept me accountable, but didn't rush me, and for $100 having a mentor like Diane and her staff to go speak to each week is an incredible resource. I feel incredibly grateful that amazon hasn't wiped out this community resource, and I marvel at her dedication to stained and fused glass and her prowess and patience at sharing it with the community. Note regarding buying supplies: Yeah sure, I am a young generation internet wizard but being a fan of open source and the ways of Stallman (who was right) I DID NOT purchase resources online -- I kept the profits local and focused at this gem of a resource to our community, which means I bought EVERYTHING from VA Stained Glass. If you are looking at taking a class with Diane, and need to buy supplies, you should DO the same. Buy directly from her for all of the reasons I've listed here and allow me to re-iterate just what a priceless resource VA Stained Glass is for our community.

It was so much fun we decided to take the plunge and took the "Beginning Stained Glass" class too! We're very pleased with how our projects turned out, and now, with the detailed, hands-on (and patient!) instruction we've gotten, we have the confidence to take on some projects on our own. To anyone who's thought about trying their hand at stained glass, but feels a little intimidated by it, let me tell you that it's not nearly as difficult as you might think. In fact, it's actually pretty easy. And I can confidently recommend coming to the Virginia Stained Glass Company to get some instruction. Our experience was wonderful, with all of the staff, the other people in our classes, and the other customers who had bought studio time and were coming in just to work on their projects (I think the fact that people are buying time to work here on stuff they could just as easily do at home says a lot). The atmosphere was always relaxed and friendly, and I really enjoyed it.
