Hello Crafters. This Is For You!

Don't you love a store that gets you all excited the minute you put a foot in it?


A few days ago a friend and I were just passing time when we saw an interesting name for a store. We decided to pay it a visit since we had time to kill. At first we thought "how cute" but that soon changed to "oh wow".



The "Designers Box" in Ermelo Mpumalanga sucked us right in. From the front it looks like a cute little store with interesting things but take a few steps further or to the side and you'll discover that "little" isn't so "little". The Designers Box is like a little maize. The deeper we went the more amazed we were. They stock everything from beads to paints and canvasses and clay. Decoupage goodies, scrapbooking and a whole lot more. The best part, the pricing is quite reasonable.




It is definitely a crafter's paradise and a store I would visit over and over again.



If you are a crafter and happen to be passing by, visit them at 26 Church Street Ermelo Mpumalanga
