Not sure if this is the correct place to post this topic...
Just got back from scouting out the new competition - a Michael's just opened up in the area - the first in Nova Scotia. I must say I was quite unimpressed with their display wall of custom framing. When I was living in Calgary, the local Michael's had many nice pieces of custom framing on display with quite a few interesting shadow boxes. Here, they only had half a dozen pieces up and upon closer inspection, they were just framed prints of various shadow box items rather than framing the actual item (e.g. a picture of a baby quilt, a picture of a board game). All were full-size prints, and at first glance they looked like a true shadow box.
Could be that they ran short of time before the grand opening to frame real items, and maybe soon they will have real shadow boxes on display. Has anyone seen this type of display frames at their local Michael's? I prefer to see the real deal, myself, but I have to admit that I was fooled at first.
