Vancouver, BC V6A 1T6
(604) 872-8180
Categories:
Art Supplies,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
Somewhere on Pender Street lies a much-needed addition to Chinatown. I'm talking about Blim, the community-minded multipurpose art space that offers everything from retail (handmade neon-splattered or tie-dyed clothes) to film screenings, to gallery…More »

It's no secret to those in the know that I am a bit of nerd for the written word. For me, paper… Read more »
3. Paper-Ya
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S2
(604) 684-2531
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Stationary-fetishists, here is your mecca. From beautiful hand-crafted letterpress cards to kitschy Japanese journals to mouthwatering washi paper to everything in-between, this treasure trove of writing paraphernalia is drool-worthy.
A store that…More »
4. Three Bags Full
Full disclosure: I don't knit. It's not that I haven't attempted to be a knitter, because I have - on multiple occasions! But try as I might, I just can't get the knack of knit to stick. So instead of owning a diverse collection of cozies and socks…More »
5. Dressew Supply
Vancouver, BC V6B 1H6
(604) 682-6196
Category:
Arts & Crafts
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Oh c'mon, Dressew. Why you gotta be so bloody cheap? For those in the know, you know what I'm talking about. Dressew is this strange mega sewing-supply store with the most inexpensive random crap (and I mean this in the most lovingly way) that one…More »
6. Daiso
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 295-6601
Categories:
Department Stores,
Dollar Store
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
How Daiso makes me feel better about the fact I'm shopping in a (two) dollar store is beyond me. It's still cheap, it still smells weird and most of it is still (maybe, probably) constructed by tiny hands in a factory overseas. But it's Daiso! It's…More »
7. Button Button

(604) 687-0067
Category:
Arts & Crafts
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Button, button! Who's got the button!?
Well, I do actually. You might even say I have a plethora of buttons. Jars upon jars upon bags in boxes of buttons fill my closet craft-ish space (disclaimer: I do NOT have a "craft corner" nor am I "crafty." I…More »
8. DeSerres
Vancouver, BC V5M 2E1
(604) 681-7351
Categories:
Home Decor,
Art Supplies
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
I'm no artist, nor have I ever claimed to be, but I *have* been known to be sucked into the vortex that is DIY-style random projects which have usually been found in that larger vortex known as the internets. If it can be made by someone else, than…More »
9. Project Space
Vancouver, BC V6A 1V8
Categories:
Bookstores,
Art Galleries,
Newspapers & Magazines
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
In a time not so far away lived a girl who dreamed in magazines. She thumbed through National Geographics, cut out pieces from the pages of British Vogue, attempted to understand the cartoons of The New Yorker and kept stacks of Sassys tucked away in…More »
