Day 72: Cries for Craft Stores turn into Yippee for Yarn

Wednesday, March 23, 2011 Posted by Elizabeth
When I was packing my bags for our trip Terry limited my selection of arts and craft supplies thinking I would be able to find stuff here, and I agreed with him after a few days of pouting.

Here is all of my craft room that I was able to bring
Now that we have been here for over 2 months I have been searching and searching for a craft store here in Buenos Aires and all I have found are art supply stores.  The art supply stores are great and they have a large inventory but I don't want to buy canvases and  paints that I wont be able to bring back home.



Working on my "memory book"
 As I was out once again in search for a craft store I found the Holy Grail of Yarn stores located on Scalabrini Ortiz (a road about a half mile from our apartment).  I remember walking by them when we first moved here but really hadn't given them much thought since then.  Located with in a 2 block radius there are about 10-15 Yarn Stores.  These yarn stores are awesome, have a large supply of unique yarn and its all pretty cheap also. Yippee!! Yippee!!
