It was laid out as all Michael's are with craft supplies, beads and paint to the right, silk flowers right in the door, baskets, vases, etc to the left. There was a pretty large sale section in the front with a great selection of packs of Christmas notes that I snatched up for $1/pack of 6 cards/envelopes. My favorite was a pack of partridge in a pear tree cards. My aunt's maiden name is Partridge so that worked out perfectly for her side of the family. \n\nThe store was clean and organized with plenty of choices. The ornament section was the only exception - the cupboard was bare. I think there were about 6 pieces left. It was two days to go, but still disappointing. I have been on a hunt for this year's signature ornament for our tree and this place wasn't going to come through for me this time. \n\nSituated in a small strip mall, it is a convenient location if you happen to be in the neighborhood. The lines were a bit long but the cashier that assisted me was super friendly and helpful.\n\n[On the First Day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
