Good day!

Found (or rather, checked to see if the store was still there) a GREAT arts & crafts store down in Kitsilano! :3 Now that Lewiscraft was bought out, there are no arts & crafts stores as much any more. There are art stores, yes... but it's hard to find good craft stores. Kits is waaaaay out of my way, but they had a huge selection of crafts stuff, there. X3

Found something I'm experimenting with for one of my costumes... going to see how it turns out, using it. Hopefully it'll work well. ^__^

I also found where the Michaels is in Coquitlam... Even though I think it might be closer, technically, I don't know how to get out there by transit. c.c I also don't really know what sort of stuff Michaels has in stock. Ah well. Maybe one day I'll check it out, too... but I'm happy this cool craft store is still running in Kits. X3

While my Mom and I were in Kits, we also stopped in a Greek bakery to pick up some pita bread, and a few other treats, as well. Yum. X9

My mom is manager of a Michaels. What are you looking for? I could ask her.

The Michael's in Port Coquitlam, the one you mentioned, is the one I go to often. That chain is a great place just to browse to get ideas. There's a warehouse-sized Michael's just over the Pitt River Bridge in Maple Ridge. You can get to the Port Coquitlam Michael's if you get off Skytrain at Lougheed Mall and take the 99 B-line bus to the Coquitlam Centre bus loop. You can get a community shuttle from there to Westwood Street, but they take the milk run around the area first and it would probably be faster to walk a couple of blocks east.

They're building a Michael's just across the Queensboro Bridge in Richmond. I checked Michael's website and it's not listed there yet, so I guess it hasn't opened. If you happen to be in South Burnaby that new one would be closer but I don't know how you'd get there without a car.
