Lovely little scrapbooking, paper and rubber stamps store with a very nice owner. It is in a…read moreshopping center I pulled into to look up motels on my phone internet/Yelp or I might not have seen it. And it is right next to a cross stitching supplies store. I found one stamp I had seen in San Diego and liked but it was out of stock so I just bought it here. And I got a little bottle of gold embossing powder. But the real find was about $20 worth of mostly used but some never used stamps at $1-3 each that she was selling to help someone else out. Can't resist a bargain. With the dearth of rubber stamp stores in Michigan, this was a real find. 102711 10/28/16--Here I am almost exactly 5 years later and again I pulled into this parking lot to look up the location of a local knit store LOL. I guess I'm destined to find this store and the one next to it that sells cross-stitch items. Unfortunately the cross stitch store was already closed since it was nearly 6 but I caught the lady in the scrapbooking store before she left for the day and we had a nice visit. I bought about 3 items at 30% off because she is having a going-out-of-business sale. I wish her the the best of luck in her next endeavor!
