In the process, I have learned a lot of new French word which are necessary in making my crafts. Yarns, needles, cotton (for stuffing) etc. I have also found many beautiful craft shops in Paris.
La Droguerie
9-11 rue du jour
75001 Paris
They have really good range of yarns, beads, buttons, felts etc. It is a little bit pricey and it can get very busy on weekends but it's good quality.They also have a store in Le Bon Marche 3rd floor. In terms of yarns, Bon Marche has much more range and easier to get served.

Another beautiful store in the hidden courtyard.

The buttons are quite expensive there... I found that it's too much. Then just around the corner, there's an amazingly good priced beads/button/accessory shop.

Marais is a full of whole sellers for craft materials. Lot of them don't do retail selling but this one does. Full of beads and jewelery making goods.
La Perlerie

I've gone nuts and started making everything! from teddies to food... they're the practice ones so it's not perfect yet. But soon. Soon I'll get better. (I hope)
This little shop is an inspiration to all my obsession. It's a knitted finger puppet shop. I found it last time i was in Paris, but then it moved! I recommended it to a friend, but because of the move, I couldn't find it. Then, walking around Saint Paul the other day, I found it!!!
