This is the best bead store I've ever been into. I don't live in the area anymore but I would spend the money just to go back. Very helpful staff and Kathy the owner is tops.
They have a big selection and lots of guest trunk sales so you always get a good variety. They stay in front of trends. I just love this store.

i come to jo-ann's primarily for yarn. they have regular sales here on common brands of yarn - lions, red heart, bernat, etc. it is great to stock up on yarn when they have their sales. the selection is bigger than michael's and often cheaper. the only critic is that they don't have specialty yarns like lace or fingering weight or silk \ cashmere blends. for those yarns, you gotta hit up the specialty yarn stores which are very expensive :(

Looking for high-end quilting fabric or expert help? How about classes to teach you basic quilting skills or advanced patterns? As long as it has to do with quilting you can't do better than Quiltworks Northwest in Bellevue.
The fabric supply isn't amazingly large, but what's missing is the lesser fabrics you don't really want anyway.
There's a classroom in the back where classes are held by published quilters.
Keep an eye out for the annual sale and get a bonus discount if you show up in your pajamas!
(And guys, at least during the sale they've got a TV in front of a couch so it's not all that bad even if your wife makes you wear your pajamas to get that discount, too.)

One of my favorite places to browse in, Fireworks is brightly "artsy-fartsy," with unique gifts, knick-knacks and doo-dads. Some are wonderfully useful, yet artistically designed, like kitchen trivets, measuring spoons, wall shelves, and lighting.
Most are hand-crafted and some pieces are unique one-of-a-kind or limited by the artist. Some useful, some decorative, some just... pure fun.
Not the best place to bring children as many breakables are within easy reach, but they also have the neatest stuff for children, including some winningly attractive rainwear for toddlers and some marvelous hand puppets.
Apart from the object d'arts, Fireworks also carries jewelry and a good Judaica collection.

This is one of my favorite scrapbook stores. I can always count on them for great ideas, the latest papers and products, and friendly staff. I do wish they had a play area for my kids to play while I shop like other stores I go to. There is plenty of space, so you can push a stroller around, but there is so much product to look at, make sure you have lots of time to spend looking!

The candles from this store are very good quality and they last forever. They have candles in many different scents: fruity, floral, fresh. They have something for every nose. The staff are helpful and eager to explaining things and help you find what you are looking for. It can be on the pricey side thought. Wait for their sales. Halloween is always fun here with great decoration ideas.

This do-it-yourself ceramic painting studio is located in the Crossroads Mall. It is has quite a few tables and a big room in the back for private parties. It works like other businesses of its kind--you pick a ceramic piece and they go to work painting it with their supplies. What is really nice about this place is that you don't pay for the time that you paint. It is all included in the price of the piece you choose. Other places I have painted charge you by the hour, which makes it very expensive for people like me who are very slow painters. They have lots of pieces to choose from, from tiny figurines to huge platters. Some nights they hold adult-only salsa nights, where they play salsa music and serve margaritas. This is definitely a place to keep in mind on a rainy day.

This is a great place to go if you want to find a community of serious and experienced knitters. The yarns supplied at this store are the kinds you won't find at your local craft store like Jo-Ann's or Michaels. If you're looking for silk, cashmere, natural fibres, angora - basically anything besides acrylic - you'll find it here. Be warned, you pay a hefty price for these specialty yarns but if you're tired of the vast warehouses of arts & crafts superstores and are looking for a more intimate, cozy craft store, this is it. When i dropped by this weekend, they were hosting a class. i didn't ask for details (whether the class was drop-in and whether it was fre - and if there was a schedule) but i'm sure if you were interested, you could just call or view their website.

The Bellevue University Book Store has a great variety of Cougar and Husky gear and the salespeople don't give you a funny look when you prefer one over the other. They are friendly and helpful and have even being a small store they do carry a lot, from books to art supplies. There are things for younger children as well are high school and college age. The really nice thing about this store is with the underground parking you can always find a spot.
