I stumbled upon this new addition to Stoneybatter on my way to the Elbowroom. The Fabric Counter…read moreopened 3 weeks ago and they are still in the middle of setting everything up. What they've done so far however, looks quite pretty. There's a big selection of fashion and deco fabrics and buttons to very reasonable prices. My inner Lagerfeld was already sharpening the scissors when I browsed through everything. I need to come back with a clear picture in mind of what I want to make and bring more time as well. There is A LOT of choice and they haven't even received all their stock yet, so I'm told. Watch this space!

You can great deals on fabric that might be slightly marked or damaged, hence the reduction and they also have a cool section of vintage patterns. For someone like me, looking for fabric without this hickeys price tag, this place is a treasure trove. The girl who worked there was super helpful, racing around the shop to find fabric for me and i will definetly be going back. Easy enough to find from the smithfield luas stop.

When I first took my son to this place he was speechless... granted he was a year and a half old…read moreand couldn't say a whole lot anyway but what few words he had he didn't say! Now I know you are gong to say "Of course Q, its a toy shop, what do you expect?" and its a fair point, but this place is different - all of the toys have an educational slant and for once his doesn't mean the place is the equivalent of a stalk of broccoli to a child, the stock is well chosen and fun, and appealing to the ankle biters! They also have a whole range of art and craft supplies for those rainy days; stickers, card, glitter, glue, glittery glue etc etc etc. I know you'll really want to know so I'll tell you, after my son had recovered his power of speech we decided on a cow as a suitable memento from our visit, he was still clutching it as he went to bed this eve!

What a cool little shop! i love just going in here and having a look at everything and wishing i…read morewas a kid just so that i can justify buying everything in the shop. This place has the types of toys that you want your kids to play with, no play stations and Wiis or other electronic stuff it has total back to basics kind of things. these are the kind of toys that the kid who plays with the box instead of what was in the box needs, they don't need fancy pants complicated stuff they need a trip to nimble fingers.its like the shop is teeming with innocence. The art supplies in the shop are top quality too, anything you need in the way of arts and crafts can be found in here. I also love how this is a family run independent store, its not a greedy chain looking for a fast buck, it seems that the shop people in here genuinely care about what they do

This is the last brick and mortar bead store in all of Ireland. It's tiny, but they pack a lot in…read morethe space. I bout a lot of lovely seed beads - some in colors I hadn't found before. I'm so glad I did because I used them to create seed beads bracelets for people across Ireland! I strongly suggest anyone who beads, especially seed beads, take a look. I'm pretty sure you won't walk out empty handed!

Dya know whats great about this shop?…read more well ill tell you what the shop is first i suppose, its a place that does printing and one of he things they print are those really nice canvas prints that are just like big canvas squares with your favourite picture on them. They turn out really well here for a reasonable price and the guys working here are really helpful and know their stuff too. Anyway on to the cool thing, well i think its cool and maybe a bit nerdy on my behalf! they have a ginormous printer and you get to see it all working! so cool!

Located in the Blanchardstown centre with a great parking facility this shop has a lot to offer, you can spend a lot of time thinking and dreaming on the different things you can manufacture yourself with all the items displayed and there is always something new.

When the women of my family come for a "Chicks on a Trip" visit, I'll bring them to Exclusively…read moreIrish for a decidedly different sort of souvenir shopping. From the artisan crafted pieces of Viking chess sets, to floor length hand-knitted Arran jumpers to hand-thrown pottery and tiny but artful busts of writers and their characters, there's plenty of unique ways to remember a trip to Ireland (or to give a fan of Irish culture right here in town). The shop feels a bit empty, but maybe they're going for artful minimalism like next-door Giles Norman Photography. No Guinness artifacts or Georgian Door chocolates here. No "May The Road Rise To Meet You" tea towels, miniature thatch-roof cottages or turf incense. This is beautiful Irish artwork pulled together for serious shoppers (with generous budgets).

This shop is primarily a newsagents and card shop but they also sell quite a lot of toys and some…read morehousehold goods. One thing I would say you will always find in Tuthills is value. This is certainly the cheapest place for cards that I can find at the moment. You can quite often get cards there for 2 or 3 euro, as well as wrapping paper and gift bags which are also reasonably priced. They have quite a selection of cards and usually have one to meet any various card-buying needs I have. Their toy selection is always great value, although I wouldn't go there looking for something specific, rather if you're looking for a little gift on the cheap you'd certainly find something serviceable here. The also stock a mishmash of household goods like glasses, frames and cleaning products which are usually exceptionally cheap, although there is no consistency of what they have in stock. Good for a rummage though!

This shop is now called "FLOCK" ! just a notice for when you come here in person…read more I LOVE this shop, it might be my most favorite shop i've ever been in, yes i'm serious. it's full of the cutest wool animals that's handmade by the nicest creator. the neutral colors and expressions are so perfect, I don't get how but each one is perfectly so quirky and adorable. I ended up buying several and I feel like they'd be great as decor items too, or as a gift for children (and adults ). I only wish there weee even more creatures to pick from because I want them ALL! I'm obsessed!!

They have everything from poster paints to face paints, model airplane sets to mala (plasticine to some) and everything in between. I sometimes attempt to make birthday cards myself so the Art & Hobby shop is great for fancy pens, markers, stickers, feathers, bobbles and bits that make my home-made cards look almost like I hope they would. Great for kids, big and little!

Meh, definitely experienced better…read more The display of prices here is very poor here. I had to get the items I was interested in price checked at the till. The place was also very cluttered, moving items stacked on top of what I wanted. Also another brand of the same product was on a completely different shelf behind me, which I found out after checking with staff. Final woo of my visit was the Staff member couldn't advise which brand was better. "Um, they're just different brands?". Shambolic and hard work. Getting a customer to part with their money should be made as easy as possible by a business. Only for I had been I'd been hunting for what I was after for the past two weeks did I stick at it here. Oh and one star for finding what I was after (ink pads, yay).
