This store is local to me. They are a craft wholesaler for all of Canada, and then they have a retail store where they sell all of their overstock. They are great for finding older items - they never really clear out old stock, they keep everything until it sells, so you can find collections from years ago. They are on the other end of town from me, about 45 minutes away - I was thinking of going there near the end of October - they're only open to the public a few days a week, and with short hours, so I have to plan when to go. I can see if anyone's scrappy unicorns are there if they'd like, and mail it to the U.S. or wherever for you - but an FYI, Canadian postage is expensive. If you're just looking for a recommendation or are hesitant to buy from an unknown place, I can say that they are a really great company and they have been around for decades - at least 40 years. Edited to add: Here's a link to the retail side of their store, with a search for Crate Paper Wonder - looks like they only have the paper available for retail customers. They may be able to tell you who to buy the chipboard from, though: www.artsandcraftsbymcg.com/shop/?ixwpss=crate+paper+wonder&title=1&excerpt=1&content=1&categories=1&attributes=1&tags=1&sku=1This info about this company is very useful--I will give them a call (although I see they say they don't ship to the US). If you do end up going over there and doing some shopping, I'd love to be in the loop. Thanks for the great info and lead!!

Heidi Swapp pink edge distresser. I love that thing and hope they’ll make them again.

The Kate & Co. collection by My Mind’s Eye. I wish I’d bought more of it. I stll have a little that I am hoarding until I have a project worthy of it. I have been organizing and found a collection kit of this that I’ve never used. It was probably a Peachy Cheap kit. PMing you!

Oh my, I hate to say it but I have a pretty big collection of older scrapbook supplies - like old kit club kits from beginning in 2005 or so, all up to the past year or so. I just moved and had to haul boxes and boxes of it and I need to seriously purge. I need to be accountable, so feel free to message me if there is something specific you are dying to have and I will look for it! I do have October Afternoon and Sassafras, really old Studio Calico, lots of stamps, etc. I was pretty picky so I have a pretty good Museum of Quality Scrapbook Supplies. I love all my old supplies but I have too much and I need to get rid of a lot of it! I'm going to calendar a reminder to come back and check this site regularly one the next few weeks. I think it will be fun to dig through it and maybe find some items that I can enjoy passing on - now I just wish I hadn't gotten rid of all my pizza boxes for shipping, but I probably still have some of those left too. I'll come back and check for messages soon!

My latest crafting unicorn is the long-retired Brooklyn Bridge alphabet stamp set from Technique Tuesday. Thanks to artgirl1, who identified the set for me from a pic I posted in another thread. I know it's somewhere, but I cannot find it! Grr.

12x12 page protectors with the 4-6” pockets, they have been discontinued. i have hunted all over with no luck. Refills for the old PSB zippered binders that don’t cost $30+ on ebay. I modify page protectors or use Totally Tiffany brand but the original work the best. Basic Grey paper, any of it. JoAnns has some under the K&Co name. I saw them there last week. 😃

Kristi Marcotte posted some cards made with Echo Park celebrate Winter and a really fun winter stamp set. Unfortunately, the stamp set is discontinued. I’ve looked everywhere including Facebook groups and eBay. If anyone comes across it, it’s seasonal sentiments from Reverse Confetti.

Great question!! (And oh so many possibilities I could answer). My most "unicorn" thing I am looking for is some Sassafras Lass paper from North at the Pole (Narwhals!!) and Happy Place (Mushrooms and Rainbows).
And of course Crate Paper Wonder chipboard... link
OK, I will stop now.
I actually think I may have both of these. I have a ton of sassafras paper. I’ll look. Message me if I don’t get back to you in a day or two. Lol

So I am sure there are lines or products that I wished I had not missed out on, but I just decided that my biggest unicorn would be the pictures I did not take. If I could go back, that is what I would do. Take more pictures of the uneventful times. This I would have to agree with this - it would be my wish to have so many photos that I didn't take!
