So, I was scrolling through my IG feed and saw a pic of an OA haul and instantly looked at it. A lot of it I already have but then I saw a Silent Night paper pad. I wondered right away where it was from. Then I realized it was from a scrappy flea market in CA. Boo lol. Have any of you CA peas been here? Looks like a fun place!  Here is the FB link and IG page. This is what I saw on IG.   |

That's my LSS and it's awesome even when they aren't doing the flea market!  Sadly I've moved out of the area and don't get there nearly as often as I used to, but it's still my go-to shop when I need something scrappy. The owner, Laurie, is great about getting the fun new products and well known paper crafters to give classes and workshops. The flea markets are AMAZING! I've been both a seller and a customer and it rocks from both sides! Some people have complained that the staff can be a little snooty, but I have never found that to be the case. I'm by no means a regular customer anymore and I still get the same friendly treatment every time I walk in.  |

When I read 'California' I got excited. But unfortunately for me it's up near San Francisco. That's about a 12 hour drive from my neck of California. For those of you who live in NoCal, happy shopping!

Its my LSS and we affectionately call the Island. But its about 45 minutes from me so I don't get there too often. Lots of paper choices. A whole wall of stamps and dies. They have lots of classes too.
I have Michaels and a local craft store closer but there is no comparison to the Island.

what a great store! the last (and large) SB store near me just closed but there is a smaller one in Long Beach. i may have to road trip to Scrapbook Island next time i'm in the bay area. Can you tell me which closed, and which is the one in Long Beach? Is it worth going to from 25-30 minutes away? I went to one in Long Beach a couple of years ago (maybe less) and it was like a 3rd of the space was store, and the whole rest was crop area. I never went back. Can't remember the name. |

Scrampers in Torrance recently closed. Cardstock Emporium on 7th Street in Long Beach recently opened up. not the most regular hours and it's small store but good stuff. i think i know the store you are talking about that was in Long Beach. by the LB Town Center right? yeah, i used to go to that one once in a while. |

Yes, I love the Island! It's my 'not so local' LSS! I live in San Francisco, and it's about a 45 minute drive for me. It's a nice big store with lots of stuff! The flea market is always amazing. Definitely worth the trip if you're in the area.

Have you been to A Perfect Day in Huntington Beach? No I haven't! But I've heard about it. Funny thing is that I'm in Huntington all the time. I go to that hobby lobby there. Is it a good store? Is it near Beach Blvd? |

Is it near Beach Blvd? It is closer to the beach, near Edison if I remember correctly. Or at least that side of town vs Bella Terra side. |

Have you been to A Perfect Day in Huntington Beach? Not yet but I plan to next time I am up there. They had a booth at Anaheim Expo with a ton of Lindy's Stamp Gang stuff. We just have one small LSS here in San Diego and it is 35 miles from me in North County. They down sized to half the store they used to be. The staff of A Perfect Day at the Expo were very sweet. |
