    Esther's is back! It's my new favorite store again!! Woohoo!! There was a time years ago when I enjoyed going into Esther's on occasion during lunch, and browsing all the fabric, even if I didn't need anything in particular. Then something changed. It became awkward, unwelcoming, and felt almost hostile at times. At one point the clerk, (who I found out later was the OWNER of the place), was so condescending when I asked a question, I literally stopped shopping there. I've since moved off island, and hadn't given it much thought, until this last weekend when a friend and I decided to check out the quilt show nearby. She convinced me to do a little shopping afterwards and we ran into an old friend who was on her way to Esther's. We agreed to tag along so we could continue to catch up, and I am SO glad I did! It was like an entirely different place! The staff were clearly very busy with customers but they still took a moment to welcome us as we walked in, and I instantly felt a very different vibe than I'd ever felt; warm and energetic! The layout is completely different, too; so bright and open, even with the great new large classroom area. We found lots of new products like fun iron-on patches, (LOTS of patches!!), and an amazing selection of patterns, gorgeous buttons, cool purse hardware and notions. And then there were the FABRICS! I've always been a sucker for quilting cottons, and they have a fantastic selection of pre-cuts and prints. I was very inspired. But what impressed me the most was the well-curated wide selection of apparel and other fabrics! Absolutely scrumptious!! I will definitely be back! OFTEN!!

    Esther's is my lifeline to sanity and joy during Covid restrictions. I've found what I needed for masks, quilts and craft projects that fill my days with color, design, and service to others. I'm heading back tomorrow for the iron on fleece and coated cotton that I need for a changing pad for my new baby niece. Esther's stocks so much variety and quality in a relatively small space! The personnel are helpful and know their stock. They wear masks and provide hand sanitizer and clean hard surfaces regularly so I feel safe there. Kudos to all of you at Esther's!

    I can't believe I had never explored this store before!…read more Seattle recreative (the sodo location) has just about everything you could ever need for crafting. They had fabric, all aspects of sewing and scrapbooking, jewelry making, bulk paint and glue, glitter, and a wide selection of different containers. I don't think I could even write everything they had. The prices are dirt cheap: I bought 9 or 10 things for $5. If you (like me) are really into sustainability, I can't think of a better place to pick up your crafting supplies.

    I was looking for craft supplies for a project and didn't want to buy all new stuff, but kept…read morestriking out at Goodwill. Somehow, I had never heard of Seattle ReCreative, but I'm glad I stumbled upon it! The store doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's much bigger than it looks. The front rooms have sewing supplies, knitting/crochet needles, fabric and notions, plus modeling clay, jewelry and beading stuff. As you go further back, there's a room with office supplies, a section of cards and stationery and paper ephemera. The biggest area is in the back, though, where the main warehouse is. That's where you'll find gift bags and tissue, floral supplies, wicker baskets and tins, paint, and tons more random stuff. The other side of the warehouse is a crafting area that looks like it can be rented out - they said they had had a bunch of kids in earlier for a field trip. You definitely have to sift through the piles of stuff to find what you're looking for, but the prices are very reasonable. I love that it's reducing waste and encouraging creative reuse - anyone with hobbies knows how expensive it can be to get started with supplies, and this is a good way to try things out inexpensively. (Or get rid of the evidence of an abandoned hobby.) Their hours are a bit limited, but similar to other small crafting/hobby supply shops. Overall, if you're willing to roll up your sleeves and hunt, there's lots of treasure to be found!

Thank local artwork, hand blown glass pieces, jewelry, home decor, and a bunch of quirky things you didn't know you needed until you see them. The store feels a bit like a small art gallery mixed with a gift shop. There are beautiful paintings on the walls, colorful glass pieces hanging from the ceiling. (See pics, the jellyfish was absolutely STUNNING) Somebody please buy this for Cody!!! I went in thinking I'll just take a quick look, then suddenly I had spent twenty minutes wandering around noticing new things on every shelf. If you're visiting Bainbridge, or even a local you must definitely stop in. It's a great spot to find something unique and a good reminder of how creative the local artist community is on Bainbridge! Support local businesses folks!

Everyone was so friendly and I found the cutest little souvenirs, I picked up a magnet and ornament for next years Christmas trees. The prices are really fair and my little gifts to myself are actually nicely made, definitely worth the cost. They have a couple stores connected so there are fun photos, clothes and definitely Bainbridge/Seattle and Washington souvenirs. Definitely check them out when you're on the island.
