I came here on Saturday with my mom, who loves to sew, and she wanted to pick up some unique fabrics from here that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else, unless you went to the States. The door to come into the place is deceiving, it's one door, and the entrance and exit are one in the same and immediately to the left are the shopping carts, and to the right are the cashiers. The aisle-ways are somewhat narrow for these shopping carts, but the fabric selection is HUGE. My mom was like a kid in a candy store. She had a mission for flannel to make something for a baby shower for some friends of ours. We also found some Doctor Who fabrics, which I never thought we could find in London, let alone Canada. The employees were fairly nice and helpful, could be a bit more enthusiastic, they didn't really look happy to be there. The aisles are kind of small to walk through and the entire place is full of items, not a regular tidy store you would usually walk into, but if you know what you want and what you're looking for, for a fairly good bargain, this would be the place!

I am currently creating a memory quilt (ZERO experience) and their guidance has been absolutely priceless. Their patience, encouragement and creativity these sisters bring is truly next level. They meet you exactly where you are, beginner or advanced, and make the entire process feel so supportive and inspiring. Their skills are honestly unreal-true artists. And the fact that they offer classes with all supplies available on site makes it so accessible and stress-free. If you have EVER thought about quilting, or want something deeply personal and meaningful, this is the place!

I often go to classes at Krafty Kennedys. I love the feeling of supporting a small local business,…read moreand their customer service is great as they offer a personal experience. They offer a variety of classes such as paper tole, water colour, acrylics, quilting, sewing, oil painting, and Bob Ross. I love how I can go to classes and buy all of my supplies at the same place. They also have a lot of different fabrics that change with the season. They also offer custom framing. The building may be small, but they still offer variety.

I will not be returning. I went Tuesday night and bought…read more$160.00 worth of Halloween stuff. One of the things I bought was a wig. When I opened it at home, it looked nothing like the picture. It was very matty looking and horrible. I stood in line 20 minutes today wanting to return it. They would not let me return it or exchange it, even though it was a defective product. (I didn't wear the wig either) Pretty much I threw 31.99+ tax in the garbage, because what am I going to do with this rats nest?

This store is substantially smaller than the one at Southdale and Wonderland. Checkout lines can be…read morevery long. They have a framing department but wait for the frequent 40% off sales. There are also coupons in the weekly flyer. Check smartcanucks.com for online coupons or coupons that can downloaded to devices. I rarely buy anything here at full price. Recently I was looking for fabric transfer paper. The regular price was almost three times the price at Staples (which is directly adjacent). Sometimes they have good deals on smaller items as you pass through the checkout area such as $1 for a tube of glow necklaces.

A friend went looking for a certain book and ended up having an in depth conversation with Judy and picked up another book instead. Some people collect the loose polished crystals because of energy and insight and some just because they are pretty. No judgment here. To my knowledge there is not another local artisan who has a great selection of product so this is a great hidden gem. No pun intended.
