Apparently, I can’t make it two weeks on vacation without finding a craft store. I started itching about five days into vacation, wanting to gaze at a selection of rubber stamps or thumb my way through some scrapbook paper. So, I got in my car, left my Blind-Pass condo and went in search of a craft store. I thought I was going to have to go all the way to Ft. Meyers to get my fix but was pleasantly surprised when I found a store called “Three Crafty Ladies” right here on Sanibel Island.

This store is well stocked with supplies you might want for a quilting project, painting a seaside landscape or stamping some cards to send back home. I was thrilled by the rubber stamp selection at the store because appropriately, it contained mostly stamps with a beach/vacation theme. I was even more thrilled to find a gorgeous wooden rubber stamp with the Sanibel lighthouse on it! You know I had to snatch up one of those.

My aunt bought a Sanibel cross-stitch kit that she will complete for me as a birthday present. I love getting cross-stitch pieces but have never really had the knack to do that craft.

If you are searching for some Sanibel-specific crafting items, please contact the proprietor, Trudie, at the following address and I am certain she will be more than happy to assist you. If you find yourself on the island, I highly recommend stopping by this shop to get your crafting fix — the staff is knowledgeable and friendly and the selection is just right!
