I have seen all of the stores, but I have to do some imagination work in my own head before I can confront such an overwhelming selection again!mimi jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046101113822427313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-90107095126707910552012-08-12T14:00:49.143-04:002012-08-12T14:00:49.143-04:00Don't be jealous!

But then I realized it's organized pretty well by type of item. I always go right to the metal stampings & charms section. They have better prices than I'd have to pay locally & they carry things I could never find here. The staff watches customers like hawks there, so I always keep my tray & my hands visible, and don't make any sudden moves. ;)<br /><br />You might want to try Toho Shoji on 6th for those beads. I've found some unique imported beads there. There was a new bead store almost across the street from them, too, that opened last summer. And of course, there are 3 or 4 stores in a row in the little block between 38th & 39th on 6th, just up the street.QuiltBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-65598650227366665162012-08-11T11:24:54.548-04:002012-08-11T11:24:54.548-04:00I am jealous.

You took a seven year old shopping companion to all of the stores and still managed to finish in under an hour. Oh the excitement I'm feeling just thinking of a trip like yours. Thank you for your reviews. I learn from each of your reviews and grow more fonder of the the garment district.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
