Idee is the biggest craft store I've found since being here in Stuttgart Germany and surrounding…read morecities in nearly 2 years... it's similar to Hobby Lobby, A.C. Moore and Michaels in the USA minus the home deco extravagance that Hobby Lobby boast and the crafting machines you can purchase for different crafts. The store does have deco like framing but not variety and flowers and jars and paints and materials and jewelry making and scrapbooking and so on. I'll definitely be going back to this craft store. This craft store along w/ The P Cookery in Ludwigsburg Is my favs. There's one more that's in Esslingen in the shopping area of stores where they have there yearly Medieval Christmas Market. The name I do not no. It's a nice size store w/ great crafting finds as well. I do know its worth a visit. I'll be going back soon. Once I get the name I'll be reposting it. I promise.

I sort of fell in love with this place…read more Yeah, it's expensive for certain things, especially rubber stamps and inkpads - but the staff that helped me were really friendly; the guy who explained about calligraphy pen nibs actually brought over a book they sold there to show me what was what (mentioning how one needed practice, and of course a book - good salesman ; ) ) . So yeah. I had a really good time, and if I ever find a job in Germany or win the lottery or discover a big pile of money on the side of the road, I'm spending my first paycheck/all the money here. Well? What're you waiting for? Go!!
