Not in Michigan anymore, no local craft stores, need online sites with international shipping.?
I have been searching for local craft stores. I moved to Italy with my hubby. The cost for craft items is outrageous here. ex. one bottle of acrylic craft paint back in states would be anywhere from 75 cents, to 2.00. Here is is 4=5 dollars, for one bottle!!!
I have been looking online, but not finding places with international shipping. Or if it does ship this far, the prices are too high.
What can I say, I am a cheap crafter. I am used to good deals. Does anyone know of sites, that have cheap prices and also ship international?? I am crazy bored over here…..
Knitting, crochet, painting, acrylics, canvas, art paper, almost anything. I am a multipurpose craft er!!!

Try Michaels.
Michael’s is a great, and very reasonably priced, arts & crafts store with a huge selection.

I’m in the Netherlands, and have found similar issues with craft supplies. Try your local open air markets – ours are Wed. and Saturday, and the Saturday ones especially have a lot of crafting supplies at much better prices than the few local shops! The market day that is larger would be your better bet.
Also, try locating an expat group online for your region or area; most of them have message boards where you can post questions. Folks who have been living there longer will probaly have some surprising ideas of local places to find inexpensive craft supplies, as well.
Good luck!
