Craft shops Pas de Calais

[sueyh]

Are there any craft type shops in the Pas de Calais - have tried issambourg but their stock of card making items is dwindling.  Seems to be less and less everytime I go.

I've had a similar problem in Brittany, and have had to resort to 'shopping channels' in the past.

The French have a differant approach to sending cards, hence the problem with sourcing basic materials.

I've now learnt to 'think outside the box' and it's surprising how inventive you can be. My best buy so far has been 144 paper roses intended for bridal favours for 1.65. I now swap ideas etc  with friends and family, usually to their advantage..

 There are also one or two craft suppliers available by post. The trick is to make the most of having to pay  P&P. I know now what to do with the yards of 'french' knitting that I did as a child, and it's also surprising what you can do with pom-poms (thinks;I must get a life).

Bon chance
