I was in Leamington Spa last weekend and look what I stumbled upon in The Royal Priors Shopping Centre ……..
It’s “The Works” but craft only! Well, it would have been rude not to go in and have a mooch and make a couple of considered purchases wouldn’t it? As you know I have used The Works in Evesham for a lot of my craft supplies since I moved, but I always nip into other branches when I see one as no shop seems to carry a full range of their products and then if all else fails I look online.
Much of the stuff I had bought or seen/before, but perhaps not in such abundance, however I still managed to invest in a couple of packs of wooden embellishments.
I have noticed prices are slowly creeping up, but the wooden embellishments still remain good value for money.
I particularly liked these angel wings, I am thinking they could look pretty fantastic painted with either a silver or gold chrome pen on a wooden peg doll angel?
As far as I can see there are only two Craft Works in the country at the moment in Leamington Spa and Buxton, but who knows, perhaps they’ll soon be springing up everywhere.

With Halloween and Christmas crafting ideas looming (????) I would also love to see a “One Below” in Evesham, because at the moment I will have to travel to Wolverhampton to stock up on their fantastic range of seasonal craft items. I thought I stockpiled enough last year, especially their stickers and embellishments but I can see them whittling down very quickly. Their favour/sweet bags/boxes were also brilliant, so fingers crossed they do the same again this year and I can get to them!
You always seem to have a good time on your searches for craft items. Continued happy hunting!
ReplyDeleteIf I had known I would have come and said hello. I live not far from L/Spa. I hope you enjoyed your visit.
ReplyDeleteNow I have read your post, if you ever want me to check out/get something for you from the L/Spa store let me know. I have been using The Works "Fresh Feelings" 12 x 12 paper for covering ink storage. I could not find any in L/Spa or The Works in Rugby, but by chance I found some in Banbury "The Works", very, very happy.
