I am one that totally abhors the soul less wrigglytin out of town superstores, but I have just visited Hobbycraft near Aintree Racecourse and will commend it to you.
I wanted two gauges of wire to help make stronger harness att achment rings on my Waterloo project.
How delighted i was to find exatly what I wanted and a load more tempters at less than I expected.
The amount of products and tools in their jewellery, beading, and card hobby sections alone is well worth a look.
To save money after a fascinating hour, I didn't look at the paint goodies.
I am now hiding behind a large sandwich to get my strength back.
Have a great weekend
Paul.
