Arts, crafts and such

• I have just discovered a fantastic craft shop in Oswestry. Its off the beaten track - down by the Cambrian Railway Museum. They have a huge range of craft materials for cardmakers, scrapbookers and beading with lots of lovely samples pinned on the wall to give you inspiration - well worth a visit!
• We've just been to NEDDLES AND PINS in Oswestry - the new Lady owner of the shop is really great and very helpful. We new that a new owner had it as her picture appeared in the Local Newspaper as one of seven most popular places in the town. The lady has alsorts of goods from wools to cross-stitch and other things. I recommend that everyone goes just to see what she has.
• Try Oswestry Indoor Market, theres a cool store selling crystals and like
• NEEDLES AND PINS! my mum was the owner lol but she had enough of it, i heard the owner now is crap.
• crappy qube, go 2 shrewsbury for galleries
• centre north west
• Rainbows End, by the back entrance to Boots and opposite the main Pay and Display, is choc full of cute candles, soaps, placemats, cushions, essential oils, jewellrey, cards and some clothing. It's on two floors and is one of the best places to go if you're looking for a gift (for a male or female). Another good place for gifts (mostly just for women) is the little bag and purse shop opposite B-Wise and Wilko's - there are some really pretty things in there. Earthlink stocks all sorts of unusual items, again good for gifts, has a very nice selection of writing paper and envelopes, bought by the sheet.

• Chap in the barber, up by the cross roads is quite useful, has the odd exhibition.
• Textile Express. Probably the best supplier of "end of roll" fabrics in Britain
• Earthlink
