Stash

I haven't been buying much craft stash lately. With my club being shut since March, and having no idea when we can re-open, I've had to be strict with myself.

I get regular emails from my favourite shops so it's been difficult to resist temptation, I've only succumbed if there's been something absolutely unmissable.

Now and again I check out Craft Clearance website. I don't like the website itself, I find it quite clunky, but the bargains are fab.

This week I managed to time my order perfectly. I had been looking at the wide sheer ribbon shown above, having already bought the pink and gold versions. The reel has been £6 something for 30 yards which is good value for the quality. This week I noticed it was £2!
I would have bought more but it was the very last one.

So then I looked at the other ribbons, just in case there were any more special prices. The emerald ribbon above, also £2, for 100 yards, wow!
Again, it was the last one available.

There is actually a quirk on the site that, if you try to add multiples of the same item, it will show you exactly how many they have in stock. I wish I'd paid more attention to that when I last ordered because I would have bought a DCWV pad they had for £4 and I didn't, now completely sold out.

They did have alternative pads, this one is called Coastal. It's really pretty, several of the papers have a pearlescent foil effect, two of the sheets are these cute panels which are perfect for toppers. Well worth the £5 price tag.

I'd already bought some of these gem swirls and ribbon roses last time but couldn't resist more, 50p per pack.

Guipure lace is £1 for 3 yards. I'd previously ordered some for one of my ladies and it looked lovely so that fell into my basket too.

Ornate die £3.50

Another bargain reel of ribbon, £2 for 30 yards. This one is green and ivory so I'm thinking handy for Christmas projects (please, please let my club be open by then)

The bargain of the day, a reel of seam binding in pale blue.
100 yards for £1, amazing value.

It's worth having a really good browse but items aren't always shown in the appropriate category. Example being if you search by product type, embossing folders, yes there are embossing folders. But if you then search by brand, then sub-category embossing folders, you will see more embossing folders that weren't visible in the product type search. Frustrating but the prices make up for it.

Delivery is free over £25. I ordered late on Thursday and it arrived via DPD courier on Saturday morning.
