That happens to me many times. The worst part is when you realise that your normal suppliers don't have it. And there is when the 'quest' starts. The project just need that particular glue that it is sold in America only, and carrier regulations don't allow to bring them your country. Don't believe me.... Try to buy '
505 Spray and Fix Temporary Fabric Adhesive' from a country that only can ship it by air. I got at least six e-mail telling me that it is impossible for them to send the product. So my beautiful quilt is still there waiting for a good soul that can bring that for me.
Occasionally some product can get replaced. For example Strathmore Watercolor Paper (140lbs) can be replaced here in Ireland by Seawhite of Brighton, that can be bought from their website or I just found that A4 in Thomas St. has a wide range of Seawhite products.
Yesterday I received the last batch of supplies I just bought on the Internet . Just browsing last Sunday I discovered Crafty Angel they have a great range of cardstock, paper, glues and more. Of course I have to try. I highly recommend them very good prices, and very fast delivery. So now I should use my new goodies. I love to hear who your suppliers are....

Hi Patricia,
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to following your blog. It was exactly the same with me trying to find products, and that is the reason that we first started up the on-line version of Crafty Angels in Newbridge. I was ordering in all my supplies from England, USA and all over Europe, as there was no where in Ireland where I could get what I wanted. Now Crafty Angels has their own Cardmaking/Scrapbooking Store in Newbridge, and we are very proud of our success. I love ATC's, as they are compact but yet can tell a whole story. !! I am sure your blog will be a big hit, and so looking forward to seeing all the posts on it. Crafty Hugs, Marie.
Thanks Marie !!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I found your store.
