293A Elliot St, Newton“Nice yarn store, pretty much the only one left on the area; a knitter's paradise: yarn of every kind, needless, hooks, buttons, and the owner who can always provide excellent guidance.”
“I just brought some items to build my flower wall and I worked with the number of staff that were all very friendly and helpful. The cashier help me get set up with an account which gave me a pretty great discount right at the register! Overall, a good experience for my first time shopping at Michael’s”
“I have been going to Baystate for many years. Both Simon and Tom are so informative and helpful. Best prices around, legit hobby boxes from fresh cases. This LCS is for the true collectors.”

1 Worcester Rd, Framingham“This has been added to my list of places to check out when I'm in need of holiday decor. I went in the other day looking for ornament storage bins, and in addition to having a 70% off Christmas items section, they had a large Easter section right when you walked in, a decent selection of Valentine's Day decor and even a small area of Saint Patrick's Day stuff out. And to be honest, a lot of the stuff was really cute!This store is clean, things are never too out of sorts on the shelves, and there's plenty of parking since it's located in the outdoor mall, Shopper's World. It can be hard finding a store rep if you have a question about finding anything, or if they have something in stock, etc. When I came in, I only saw 1 sales rep and they were working the register so I had to wait in line just to ask a question. All in all, Michael's is pretty solid!”
“A mishap with a puzzle-Ceaco is the name!I sent to them an email…Today, my answer came!My 1000 piece puzzle,Took much time to complete.And, when I finally finished,It ended in defeat!Many missing pieces,When finished, you could see.But, Ceaco backed their product,A new one sent to me!Many Thanks!My opinion in Rhyme by: Jano”

380 Watertown St, Newton“Staying near by for family’s medical reason and found this little shop. Had very reasonable prices on all cards. Bought a few boxes and hope to return before I leave town. Phil and his wife have been at this for 25 years. No fluff and no fanfare but they know their place in the card business. Must check out if looking for new cards.”
“Arts & crafts galore, picture framing wonderland, and all the holiday decor you can think of. I just stopped by to see if they might have some cute Christmas-themed signs or trinkets for my new apartment and was blown away by the amount of stuff they had. Not to mention, the shelves were fully stocked for the most part!It felt like all the Christmas stuff was all on sale?? I mean everywhere I looked it was either 40% off, 50% off, or buy 1 get 1 50% off. Trouble for me that's for sure. This was a fabulous surprise. I went in looking for the possibility of some cute Christmas stuff, and left with and entire carriage full of stuff: a 7 foot fake tree, white lights and colored lights for my tree and to put up outside, garland for my fireplace that looked real and not tacky, a star topper, fake greenery to put in a vase, and more. The fake trees on display really take the cake here. They are all out on display the second you walk in, so you can get an idea to scale of what they look like with their lights on as well as the size and height of all them. They were on crazy sale and even without the sale it seemed like reasonable prices to me!I come here often throughout the year but this is the place to go if you're need something for the holidays!”
“Jake in framing is excellent! She has helped me with 3 projects so far and is so knowledgeable, artistic and patient. You feel the pride she takes in her work and she's an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend her for any of your framing needs.”

222 N Main St #4, Natick“I remember going to Gilbert's when it was in Needham! We're talking over 20 years ago! I used to run up to the store before it opened on Saturdays and Sundays and spend all day hanging out I'd talk sports, buy a pack of basketball cards, watch people open packs, get Gary a sub or a slice from Needham House of pizza. Artie!!! I'd have tons of store credit built up. I'd buy a Larry Bird card or a cheaper Jordan card! I'd always ask to go into the basement or to see some Babe Ruth cards! He let me in the basement a few times lol. Gary built his store into a real hangout spot for the kids in Needham and it was safe and fun. Gary always made it such a fun place to be. As a youngster I couldn't wait to be the first one at the store. I just loved hanging out there! I was really sad to see Gary leave Needham but I'm happy he's still in business and that people are still getting to enjoy Gilbert's”
“I have gone to Lee twice this year. I find him to be very trustworthy, fair and thorough. I’m sure his clients are much bigger than I am but he gave me the courtesy of going through all of my coins and stamps. Highly recommend!”
