Having cared for estates on the East Coast and the West Coast, no matter where you are You should use this company..”
“Caroline was a very big help very Knowledgeable person great Attitude personality yes I will go back again and tell my friends about this place if Google had more 5 stars she will get it from me”
“Great place! I visited for the first time today and Travis was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great staff, great prices! Can't wait to come back and play some Pokemon WOTC-20!”
“If you're any kind of fan of model building or wargaming go here, it's 100% worth it. I recently got into Warhammer and was so excited when I found out there was a GW store near me. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, you can tell that the people working here are fans of the hobby with a lot of passion. The selection there is really good one side of the store is for 40k and the other is for Fantasy/Age of Sigmar. The pricing is GW pricing if you know you know. It's a little more pricey than other stuff but the quality is there for sure. Pretty much everything is the same price as it would be online and that's pretty much the same whether you're at GW or a smaller hobby store. Not everything is marked with a price so I definitely recommend asking as Warhammer isn't as straight forward as other hobbies and a small miniature might be even more expensive than a box of 10. Would love to see more painted miniatures in the displays but that's about my only recommendation, I had such a good time.”
“This place is a sleeper, it has so many comics and collectibles. I brought my young daughter thinking it would be a small place to find her a few comics. We were hit with just loads of not just comics (new and classics) but so many cool collectibles for all ages. We’re going to make this place our usual spot. Guy at the counter was cool too, chatted for a bit, real nice and his Customer Service was on par as well.”

315 W Main St, Avon“Michaels a is great place if you're into any sorts of baking, arts, and crafts. I used to go all the time back in high school and college to buy supplies for my art classes; painting, sketching, ceramics, photography, etc. I even used to buy their shirts which were pretty cheap to tie-dye.
Now all the rage is around cricut; they have an aisle with all the supplies you need. I even bought fake flowers and various of other items for my wedding (super budget/DIY wedding and I'm proud of it). I also buy yarn for knitting and supplies for embroidering. They have kids craft too which my toddler loves. They offer custom framing and helium balloons; their website allows for customization options.
When I went, I saw a room for where they offer classes; summer camp are offered and birthday parties can be hosted at the stores. There are 1,252 Michaels in the US and Canada. I think it's a great store for the artsy and crafty people; even if you're not artsy/crafty it's fun to look at. Don't forget to check their website for coupons!”

5 Main St #5B, East Hartford“Bought something I rarely see at my local store. My credit card didn't initially work. Then had to call and do some round about way of using my store credit card. It worked.”
“We love to peruse the aisles in this store. It is magical to see the variety of merchandise in each department. By the time you leave the store, you will be inspired to take up a new hobby or design an art project. They offer everything from custom framing to home decor. They also have a complete variety of art and hobby supplies for every age group. A lot of the merchandise is color coordinated and easily accessible. The store is clean and well organized. The staff is friendly, professional, and helpful. There is also plenty of parking.”
“Kudo's to the staff at Michaels. My wife needed some very small brass screws to repair her jewelry case. Home Depot and Lowes did not have anything even close. We decided to try Michaels because this sort of thing may be used in some kind of craft project. They did not stock the screws either, but one of the staff suggested they had some small unfinished wooden boxes that also had small brass screws. Sure enough, the box which only cost $1.99 had the four screws that we needed! Problem solved! This solution happened because the professional staff, really knows their products.”

“Great throwback hobby shop with tons of inventory and good prices. Store has been closed for the past week or so with no message at door or on website, I hope all is well.”
“Very nice store, lots of interesting and rare items, staff is very kind and helpful. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the market to buy anything this time and couldn’t come to a deal with the owner about buying some of my collection, I appreciate the help they gave me when determining a price range for the items I was selling and am very pleased with the great customer service. I look forward to shopping here in the future.”
“I went to Fred after seeing all these glowing reviews and I am SO GLAD I did. He explained his process and the reasons why he was accepting or rejecting certain pieces of jewelry I found in my old home. A lot of it ended up being costume jewelry, but he told me how to clean it up so I could sell it myself at a tag sale. There were a few gems in there though, and he paid me for them on the spot and at a really good price. He was kind, friendly, and I absolutely trusted him to give me the best deal. I left utterly satisfied with the experience. If I ever find any more treasures, I will surely go see Fred!”
