Default Chicago Area Stampers/Scrappers -Any New Stores?

We'll be headed to Renwick Inn in Plainfield IL in a couple of weeks and will be on the search for stamping/scrapbooking stores. Having been to the Chicago-area multiple times, I've been to Craftfancy and Hannah's but I was wondering if there are any other stores. I'm saddened that many of my favorites (Stamp, Scrap and More, Memories & More, Stampology, Stamp On In, and Stamp Thyme) have closed over the years.

Thanks!

I live the the Aurora area. And I'm not aware of any New stamp stores.
Just the usual stores.
Like Jonah's, Michaels and Hobby Lobby.

It would be nice have some New places to shop.

I'm in Chicago --nothing new here I know about. Tuesday Morning recently closed all its Chicago stores. I'm shopping mostly online.

If Milwaukee isn't too far off for a day trip, there are three fun places you might want to check out: Polka Dots in Mukwonago, Gina K's Village Paper and Ink in Greendale, and Creative Pals in Brookfield.

So glad you told us! I have family in Milwaukee and Greenfield, and when I go there next, I'll check out these stores.

Louisa May, they all have cute shops and foodie places nearby, so if you have the time, it's even fun to explore the shops nearby. Gina K's especially.

While we're always game to hit as many stores as possible, the purpose of the trip is to go to the retreat, which we can check into around noon on Friday (we'll be late.) Going up to Hannah's is about as far north as we'll be able to get this time.

I've been to Polka Dots and Creative Pals a couple of times. GREAT stores! Haven't been to Gina K's yet. Will have to try to get there the next time in the area.

Thanks Ladies!
