Our storefront window is currently filled with scrabble related framing, so we created this little video for our tv display to go along with it.

Heart shaped photo grouping as a Headboard.
We love this use of the black and white photos on a strong wall color. If you mixed and matched frames we think the results would be equally as effective.
Michaels pays $1.8 million for Deceptive Advertising
What we’ve known for a long while has finally come to light this past year. Michaels has paid a settlement of $1.8 million to the schools of New York State for deceptive advertising; running a continuous “sale” by way of coupons (104 weeks!), which is against state law. Essentially, their regular price is so inflated that their sale price is equal to the average retail price.
“For years, Michaels duped consumers into thinking they were receiving huge discounts, when in fact, they were simply paying the regular store price,” said Attorney General Schneiderman. “Through deceptive advertising practices, this company violated the law and took advantage of hardworking consumers trying to save money.”
Sound familiar? Here’s this weeks Michael’s coupon.
A remarkable 55% off! But off what?
It’s really great that the school district is benefiting, but it also makes us happy to see the scam exposed; even if it’s not in Lethbridge, Alberta, or even Canada. Maybe the next time customers see a Michaels coupon, they’ll think twice.
Shopping for custom framing? Pop in to price check with us, we can guarantee our regular price is competitive with Michaels sale price. We even offer a real sale every Friday the 13th! 20% off our regular price, which in Micheals prices is equivalent to 70-80%. What a deal! We have a huge selection of frames and mats, conservation options and an experienced staff that would love to help you.
