Buy LOCALLY

How many of you went in to the old purple or was it green? Mulberry craft store?  HUGE and spread out!  Well, they have moved locations (next to the pink tattoo parlor) and I admit, I thought this place was not too inviting from the outside.  I went in yesterday to check on the COOKBOOKS they are selling for us (btw, they've sold 2) and I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw.  They have an entire wall dedicated to scrapbook paper, Melissa & Doug crafts, stickers and stamps for kids, their regular knick-knacks and they also had some interesting classes including kids' painting parties.  One class in particular, was making the "Home is where the Air Force Sends Us" signs where you put each place you've  been.  On their website go to "Signs Hand Crafted For You."  Like, I said, I was pleasantly surprised with the changes they had made.  If you're looking for a crafty supply or unique gift, I'd definitely check there first before driving to Boise or paying for shipping & handling charges.  Their hours are: Tues to Fri, 10 am to 6 pm.  Saturday 10 am to 5 pm and closed Sunday, Monday and holidays.
