Yes and no. "Yes" because my wife would love it and "no" because it'll cost me a fortune.

Snap Howard. I still find it amazing the amount of time my wife can spend in the wool shop on Marple High Street. Is there a door to Narnia at the back of the shop.

I am also reliably informed that Marple needs a decent 'posh' deli. Anyone else think that would be a good idea?

Not sure about the craft shop idea as the big hobby store in Stockport is easy to get to.  However the deli is a great idea.  I hve no idea where the nearest decent deli is to Marple.

Getting back to the subject of the poll! - I'm another whose wife will be very interested in this and she also has several friends who are into making their own cards, cross-stitch, glass painting and all that kind of stuff. Well she had to find something to do while I spend all my spare time 'playing' (her words) with this web site
:blush:

:) Thank you for all your replys to my craft shop in Marple poll, I still need more vote's to get a better idea if it is viable or not.

Deniseamb as for your answer (not sure we need one in Marple). I know Stockport has one but I think Marple could have one also, and I think most Marple crafters would also like one here, also Hobby Craft is expensive and I might be able to have better priced crafts as I will have lower overheads, also I live in Marple, but thank you for your reply it is of value to read the negatives & not sure's as it gives a better view.

Thank you all for your reply's so far.

id use it... (and a deli)
hobbycraft is far too expensive especially when most of my "craft" activities involves kids of various ages and often ends up in a bin
though IF I ever get time Id use it for myself too
