Arts, Crafts & Kits
Garden Ridge

972 681-5006
This ridge is so big, you get dizzy looking down the aisles. But if you're looking for home decor objects, surely you can find something here. You can get twice as much for your money here and still be able to put things in their place. Add artwork and picnic totes, porcelain bowls and bean bags, ornaments and ordinary wrapping paper. Part of their appeal is variety, but it's the silk florals and greenery that have gotten into my veins. Too, it's the place to go for their incredible selection of pottery, crafts, housewares, baskets, art, frames, mirrors, and home textiles.

When the urge overtakes you, splurge on all the little doodads that will result in personalizing your one-of-a-kind home decor.

Michaels provides a broad assortment of products to folks who'd like to make their own imprint onto the world via nifty little crafty-type projects. The world is now your canvas and Michaels is your paint, brush, and encouragement center. Without stringing you along, the list of possibilities are endless. Even the artful dodger couldn't evade the projects here: floral arrangements, silk and dry flowers, decorative decor, wall hangings, wearable art, party supplies, framing materials, painting, gluing, decoupaging, sculpting, beading, drawing, there aren't enough hours in the day to support the myriad of projects to entertain.
Old Craft Store, The
1110 W. Main Street, Carrollton, TX 75006
972 242-9111
Find the latest items at the best prices on all the current trends and timely traditions in the art of quilting. They have all the necessary tools to complete a project from rulers, needles, threads, quilting stencils, supplies for hand and machine quilting, well, anything that has to do with quilting without feeling guilty. The "Discount Quilting Club" will really have you buzzing. This is the old country store, a throw-back to days gone by with items that perhaps your grandparent's may have coveted. Antique spice cans, advertising tins, soap and cleaning products.
Rock Barrell, The
13650 TI Boulevard, Suite 104, Dallas, TX 75243
972 231-4809
Since 1972, the first year the Rock Barrell opened its doors, it has been on solid ground. Rock around the clock in this 4,000-square-foot, one-of-a-kind store whose premise is "Sharon the Stone" (semi-precious, of course). They can offer incredibly low prices because they are direct importers of much of their merchandise. Secondly, they buy closeouts from all over the world. Dig in to their stretch bracelets made from 4mm bi-cone glass crystals with your choice of a large assortment of colors. Ever hear of stone cross beads? These beads are drilled top to bottom and are great additions for either bracelets or necklaces.
Woodworks
4521 Anderson Boulevard, Haltom City, TX 76117
817 581-5240
Want to shop by the book? Well, here's your chance. They've closed their little retail store and now offer their sales strictly through their catalog. However, if you're a navigator with a penchant for finding remote places in the world, you can order by phone and drive to their will-call window. A random sampling included: angels, animals, apples, bells, birdhouses, blocks, bowling pins, golf tees, miniature lamps, milk bottles, mushrooms, Noah's ark, rocking horses, school houses, snowmen, trees, watermelons and more; you can keep busy 'til kingdom comes. They are the largest supplier of American-made wood parts with over 25 million stock pieces.
