Store 21 is primarily a cheap clothing store selling cheap clothing shoes and accessories for the…read morewhole family. Whilst admittedly there wasn't much in the clothing range that I was tempted to buy there were some definite bargains if you were prepared to look. They had a selection of children's Disney costumes with a Sleeping Beauty princess dress being £12, and a Spiderman costume for the same price. I also spotted some lovely scarves at £3 which wouldn't have looked out of place in more expensive outlets. What I also liked about the store were some of its home furnishing products, I spotted a set of wicker baskets for £12 a white wicker washing basket for £5 and a large wicker laundry basket at £9, pretty unbeatable price wise.

My oldest and most favourite fabric shop. It's actually attached to the fabric printing factory. In…read morefact it used to be called Treforest Textile printers. Unprepossessing from the outside unless you are a fan of industrial architecture but once through the doors it's glorious fabrics galore. There are sections of dressmaking fabric, including patterns, lots and lots of upholstery fabric, strange fluorescent furry stuff for making strange fluorescent furry things (aliens?), sheer voiles for curtains and more more more! In my time I've been here to buy things to refurbish furniture, make fancy dress for the kids and our latest purchase is the complete kit for stitching our own ball gown - Vivienne Westwood is looking to her laurels!

Not the largest range available from a fabric store but staff are always willing to help you find…read morethe material or accessory you require. Prices are very good which is always a nice thing! There is a large array of accessories to buy aswell as fabrics. These include buttons, ribbons, threads and patterns.

Despite its mildly humorous name, Tony's Tackle is a great place to go if you're avid angler or a…read morefan of fishing. Caerphilly Castle is a hot spot for fishermen and frequently attracts people from all around to its fish filled castle moat. Tony's Tackle not only provides the licenses to permit fishing in the moat, it also offers a variety of useful equipment, tools and accessories. From bait to hooks and everything in between, Tony's Tackle offers everything an angler could want on a fishing trip...except the fish, of course; they leave that bit up to you. Tony's caters for all levels of fishing experience, with learning rods and basics for the beginner, to more speciality goods for the pros who know exactly what their looking for. In a prime location, right opposite Caerphilly Castle, Tony's Tackle is well worth a browse...probably not the best choice of wording, but you get the idea...

We wanted to buy things for making a necklace. For Mother's Day. I was looking after a child that…read morewasn't mine or perhaps I might have encouraged the Mother's Day present thing more towards the edible. We went to Carole's Crafts, it was close and you can park. The shop's not huge but they've managed to cram quite a lot into it. We found beads and elastic and even a clasp and a very nice glass leaf thingy. I can't really vouch for artistic integrity of the final product but luckily mothers are usually grateful for any handmade trinket by their beloved offspring. Lot of stuff for paper craft, quite a lot for basic jewellery, not so much fine art supplies or sewing crafts. This used to be located inside the actual garden centre but has moved out and over to the other side. So turn left when you turn off the main road.

I have been visiting Carole's Crafts for a number of years now. In fact, spend that much I should…read moreown it! (he!he!). Always get a smile and a warm welcome from the girls, and it's a joy to go there. Always cheerful and happy to help with any problem and they know their stock. If they had a coffee shop within their premises then I would give it 5 stars and browse for longer! So well done you 'orrible lot!! and see you soon.

I wish I had another event to attend in Cardiff-I would definitely go to this salon again!!
