I have no chance of going on the weekend as we have already got plans. I may try and go the first day but am not sure yet - that is a long drive.

It's a long drive for this girl on the coast. I plan to do my shopping at Archivers in March when I go see you girls at our retreat.

Mandee & I made a trip to Artists' Oasis on Saturday. I had more time to look around to see what all they had - it's still very impressive. So many supplies I've never seen before - and brands I've never seen before. Got a stamp for ATC's and a few of Tim's metals. Hope to find out what new things they're getting in. I'll report back when I find out.

Let me know ahead of time if you go again maybe I could be there also. I have not made it there for a long time so a visit again would be nice.

Maybe you can just become our personal shopper

That would be nice.

Oh! I needed another reason to drive down there...
If you need stuff, let me know - I wouldn't mind picking it up for you at all.
The owner is having some obscure medical issues so her mom is running the store for her - otherwise, I'd say call her to see if she would ship directly to you.

I hope she isn't going to be closing down!

me too - I'd hate to see another great shop close down.

She used to have a partner - I think that was about a year ago or so.

Because I love this place so much, I thought I'd share with you deprived ladies my visit to Enchanted Cottage on 25% off day yesterday. Maybe next time one of you will go with me. I'm afraid Joe is pretty tired of the place.

So here's the skinny. The little old cottage is full of stuff, but it's just an annex. The main store is the first floor of this building, except for maybe the leftmost 30-40 feet where I stop for coffee and baked goods after a hard few hours of shopping. The inside is huge and I only took photos just inside the front door to give you an idea of just the stamp selection. It's about 3 times as much as you can see in the photos.

Here we go ...

Inside, part of stamp section. Notice the Nestabilities and Cuttlebug rack.

And finish off with coffee ...

Oh, what did I get for 25% off?

excuse me while I wipe the drool from my face...
