Le Vintage Finds, Marysville

While Snohomish County isn’t overflowing with local shops carrying arts and crafts supplies (there needs to be more), the ones that it does have are awesome. The biggest local spot is of course Ben Franklin in Monroe (yep, locally owned and operated). It is by far the best place to go for a bit of everything.

Don’t overlook the little guys though! You can probably guess they are my favorite, and you’d be right. We are frequent visitors to ArtSpot in Edmonds, picking up paint, canvas, and more whenever we are feeling creative. Candle making has been a new endeavour, and soap is probably next, thanks to Cierra Candle & Soap in Everett. Then there is knitting, and crocheting. That is on our list of things to try as well, and when we do, we’ll be hitting up Perfectly Knotty in Arlington for fiber and some classes.

Whatever your art or craft, there is something for you, you just have to know where to look. Here is a mini guide of where to go to get you started. Don’t forget, if and when you do visit, be sure to share the spot and your creations on social media. Do your part to support local shops!
