Hiya, can anyone tell me if there are any craft shops in the area? Thanks

When I say craft shops I don't mean the potteries etc, I am looking for materials for crafts like ribbon, raffia, textured paper etc.
Anyone ????

LJ there is a Staples at Portimao in the retail park. Just off the 125.

Just had another thought.

In the business park just past Algarve shopping going towards Faro there is a shop called Oriente Perfeito. Not sure of spelling?

It is a warehouse and has everything that you ever wanted and more.

that sounds brilliant, thanks, I will go and have a look tomorrow.

Thereis a very good art/craft shop in Portimao in the tree lined road behind the cemetery in Portimao, find the fire station ( near Pingo Doce) turn down the road with the cemetery on your right fire station on your left and walk along the road, take first right into tree lined road, shop just down from the corner on the right.

Thanks, I will try and find that one too, cheers.....
