They usually have the best prices, but depending on international shipping rates, that may negate any savings.

You've a heart of gold. I can get the basic art supplies here most of the time, but if I want better quality items or something newer I have to mail order it into the province. Yes, its frustrating - and more expensive too.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-1622247422847454062007-05-26T14:05:00.000-02:302007-05-26T14:05:00.000-02:30Had we had more time Jeanette, I would gladly have...Had we had more time Jeanette, I would gladly have brought you to the Blick store in my town. I don't shop there much as I have another favorite. I can not wrap my brain around not being able to jump in the car to go pick up a tube of paint if necessary. I am so excited to hear that you have plans for all of these supplies. Loving all of your explorations lately. Watching a lot even if I don't comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-29521926499302765302007-05-26T10:29:00.000-02:302007-05-26T10:29:00.000-02:30LOL Jeanette, art supplies are such an addiction. ...LOL Jeanette, art supplies are such an addiction.

Keep searching the secondhand stores and you'll find your chest eventually. Used office equipment stores sometimes have good little finds too.<BR/><BR/>Well David, thanks for the interesting bit of information. Just as well I don't have to trade in gold to get my art supplies or they'd be in short supply.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-5169602629694119872007-05-26T06:34:00.000-02:302007-05-26T06:34:00.000-02:30Re: “However the exchange rate is quite good now, ...Re: “<I>However the exchange rate is quite good now, closer to 90 cents to the US dollar than the miserable 60-odd cents it was a year or two ago.</I>”<BR/><BR/>A “Federal Reserve Note” is not a <A HREF="http://ocii.com/~dpwozney/usa.htm#Dollar" REL="nofollow"><B>U.S.A. dollar</B></A>.
