Milton Keynes

[lauralaura]

I am off to Milton Keynes with DH on Wednesday, can anyone recommend any good scrapbooking/craft shops there???

They have opened a new Hobby Craft in Milton Keynes.

I think I could quite easily open a shop the amount I've got

There is a craft barrow outside mothercare - she sells lots of bits and also the fabric stall on the market sells lots....oh and of course Hobbycraft

I didn't realise they've got a hobby craft in milton keynes now. The only one I could think of was the little barrow woman (as my mum calls her) they do some bits in john lewis as well.

LB Crafts is in Olney

[lyns11ocraft]

Afraid there isn't much here..... Lb craft in Olney is good but expensive. There is a craft stall outside JOhn Lewis but it isn't much cop either, Also hobby craft which is near the station.

Is the Hobbycraft near enough to the shopping centre to walk to ???

[lyns11ocraft]

Not really, probably 1 mile and half away!!

[lauralaura]

Oh, will have to persuade DH to drop me off!! Are there any more shops near Hobbycraft??

[lyns11ocraft]

comet, halfords, pet place, furniture place.... habitat.... I think that's all.

I've walked from the shops to hobbycraft several times now - it's not that far, ok to walk if the weather is OK!

also you get to go past Staples, or more accurately go into Staples to get book rings

In the main shopping centre there's one of those cheap book places that has very limited range of scrapping stuff - rubons and some papers from memory

Also there's a paperchase which has some gorgeous wrapping paper and bits, not huge amount though.

Thanks Bumpybecky, i am going tomorrow so now i am excited!!

[Bohokitty]

UUuhhhhh yeh. That's about what i was going to say -

Hobbycraft is off the roundabout just after A5 roundabout. Habitat is close (did alot of xmas shopping there)
Barrow lady outside Mothercare and John Lewis.
John Lewis for ribbon and Haberdashery stuff.

When are we opening up our MK scrapping superstore then ladies????? x
