When you work for Yelp, you find yourself in the middle of arts and crafts time a lot. A CM's bestie in these creative adventures: Michael's.
There's a Michael's location less than a mile from my house. However, it's a smaller store and the St. Paddy's section had been pillaged. So, off to the Ballantyne I went.
This Stonecrest store is huge. I get overwhelmed and lost in the Park Road one... so just try to imagine the panic attack I had in this location. I can't get believe how big it is. TWSS. (any The Office fans here?) This Michael's is clean, nice and bright. Everything is well spaced. I didn't feel as claustrophobic here as I do in the Park Rd location.
I walked over to the St. Paddy's section and found exactly what I needed. What did I need? Well, a shamrock table cloth and garland of course. Spoiler alert: the garland was perfect to make some fake boas for a marketing booth I was doing for the pub crawl.
St. Paddy's. Check. Easter... you're up next. I'll see you again soon Michael's.
