They have a wide range of well known brand name supplies for fine art and crafts such as card making, beading supplies and kits for children. Not necessarily the cheapest place but locally the place you are most likely to find what you need, especially if its something a bit more specialist. Also ideal for gifts for family and friends who are in to crafting as they do gift vouchers. Mail order is also available for those who perhaps can't get to the shop. I have always found the staff to be friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and the shop clean, tidy and well laid out.

The staff are always friendly and helpful, offering good advice on products when consulted.

I always went away with a smile on my face and sunshine in my heart after hanging out for a bit. I haven't been here in awhile, but used to buy gifts for my godkids there. I bought albums to make scrapbooks for friends and family. Prices went from cheap to steep. They always had something I needed! LOL!
