Hey, Connecitcut scrappers???

[maslex]

I'm trying to find scrapbook stores in this state. LOL I've been to Inspiration Station in Stafford Springs...
Wiggles & Giggles in Wethersfield...
New England Scrapbook...
Memory Lane...Marlborough

I just found out about another store in Westbrook, Paper Craft Warehouse? Has anyone been......how is it....nice variety of stuff??? And is it easy to get to? LOL

I know BAMB has been to the Westport store.

I've been to Inspiration Station, it's about 10 minutes from my house, and Memory Lane is about 20 minutes. The owners at both are wonderful.

Wiggles and Giggles is on Silas Deane Highway in Wethersfield. Same area as the main CT DMV office. I've never been there so I can't say how it is.

I've been to Wiggles & Giggles (only once since it's just over an hour away) but so far, it's my favorite so far. I've also been to InspirationStation only once too. Like that store as well.

Does anyone know of any others in the state?

I love Papercraft Clubhouse in Westbrook. Nice owners, lots of stock. The wall of bazzill is awesome. Sign up for their email, you get coupons. I had one for 100 sheets of bazzill for $39.99 any color but black and white

I've been to New England once and Wiggles and Giggles once. Both great stores.

I shop Inspiration Station a lot too but they have the least stock of all the stores. They do a bus tour with New England, W&G, and Papercraft, they'll probably do one in the spring.

I've never been to Memory Lane but New England Eeyore has when she was in CT for a visit.

If you google scrapbook stores CT, there supposedly is one in Norwich and Groton but I've never been so I don't know if they are open anymore.

The one in Old Saybrook is closed.

I'll check out on google if there are anymore. I've been to Memory Lane (that's the closest one to me ---45mins) and I wasn't too impressed. Didn't seem to have much stuff And I've never heard of a bus tour. Might have to look into that. LOL

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

the bus tour is cool. they leave your "home" store and drive you to the other 3. So say you sign up at IS, you catch the bus there, and they drive you to W&G, PC, and NE, then bring you back to your home store.

How much time do you spend in each store? Is this a whole day affair?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'm not sure how much time is spent in each store, but yes it's a whole day affair.
