The service provided was incredible, nothing was too much trouble. Outstanding communication and any small adjustments that I asked for were done very efficiently and quickly until I was happy that they were just right. From start to finish it was a matter of days from my initial enquiry to having an absolutely stunning finished product in my hand. They are perfect, even better than I imagined and such good quality. I have had so many compliments about the invitations. I highly recommend to everyone.

Aimed mainly at people who are into card-making, this little shop sells a fantastic range of…read moreaccessories such as craft tools, stickers, stamps, and glittery bits and bobs to inspire paper crafting activities. However, they also specialise in stocking all the products you would need to make your own wedding stationery, wedding favours, keepsake boxes or guest books, so if you're planning a wedding and want it to be original (and perhaps save some money), this shop is well worth checking out. They also sell a lot of materials for scrapbooking, from albums to scizzors, cutting mats, craft knives, acid free adhesive, plus card and paper.

My friend and her nine-year-old daughter have vowed to make all of their Christmas presents…read morethemselves this year, and this includes the cards. All the gifts will be knitted, (which makes me want to yell, "all aboard the Skylark", roll my eyes and swear under my breath...) They started their campaign in March and are doing reasonably well. Daddy has got an Everton scarf with the letters knitted in, (rather than sewn in), and they are almost entirely legible, even if they are a little creative in their organisation. My scarf has been abandoned, as "there's a hole in it that I don't know how to fix"... Great! "We're going to make you the best card ever though", came some small reassurance. I refrained from adding "I doubt it!" And there began a step by step graphic description of exactly how the 'best card ever' will be achieved. Nodding gently, with a flickering smile, I managed to maintain my attention span to cover the length and breath of the explanation. "It'll be such a lovely surprise", I said, and went outside for a fag! A note to all the staff at Crafty Cards: My little nine year old friend will be coming to you shortly to spend a years worth of pocket money on your bounteous supplies. Can you please explain to her that in order to achieve the results she's expecting she'll need a PHd in some form of precision engineering and have access to top classified materials reserved for the military and NATO. Please let her down gently!

I came here for a new quilt and some pillows and left fairly happy! To be honest, Shaws isn't my…read moretype of store mainly because I'm not super into fabric or knitting. Still, it's quite a good store with fine customer service. ~ Customer Service: This store was pretty much completely run by a gaggle of cute older ladies who were very pleasant to deal with. My partner and I were looking for quilts and we didn't see the ones for sale (only saw the display ones) and one of the women was happy to point them out. When we went to pay, she was very polite and had a very calming lovely voice. It was also nice to see other customers enjoying their chats with the staff; you can tell that this Shaws branch has a very welcoming environment! ~ Variety: From what I can tell, there's a decent amount of variety here although it's not as massive as some other Shaws stores I've seen. There were loads of different quilts to choose from depending on what you like and how warm you want to be. --- I can't comment too much on how great Shaws' products are as someone who's pretty new to fabric shops. However, my limited experience was fine. If you're like me and you're just looking for some basic things to get you by, Shaws is definitely the place to go. Great customer service with a very welcoming atmosphere!

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.
