Today I had to go to Brentwood so since I had to waste gas ($3.81/gal at the “cheap” Chevron station! WTF?) to drive twenty miles to get there, I stopped at the Michael’s in Antioch (at the Bypass and Lone Tree) and hit the motherlode. They’re having a pretty big sale – most things are 2/$5 or 2/$3, and the strand beads are 25% off.

I don’t think the local Michael’s has the new stuff (the PH Michael’s is slow on the uptake and always has been; their buyer must not be on the ball – but the Antioch one is pretty good), so if you happen to be in Antioch, check it out. They had a ton of new Blue Moon charms and stuff, and new beads from the same brand that does their strand beads.
OH AND THAT REMINDS ME: At JoAnn’s in Park ‘N Shop, check out their strand beads – a lot of them are on clearance, including ALL of the resin. So pop over there and snag some beads, most strands are $1.97. (But some are not, so be careful what you grab.)
Um, now that I’ve promoted capitalism and blatant consumerism I’m done for the day.
(Oh and did you hear Magknits shut down? Sounds like a kerfuffle to me… Good thing I printed off the sock patterns I wanted from them.)
Joann’s you say, eh? I may have to go check that out.
