Scrapbooking Stores - Bristol, Connecticut?

[lharnish]

I'm going to visit a cousin in Bristol, CT and am looking for suggestions on where to shop. Besides the chains such as Michaels, AC Moore and Joanns, I found these shops roughly within an hour of Bristol.

Stamp & Scrap Nest - Simsbury, CT
The Inspiration Station - Stafford Springs, CT
Scrapbook Clubhouse - Westbrook, CT
Wiggles & Giggles - Wethersfield, CT

And I also found:

Dick Blick - Plainville, CT

Are any worth the drive? Am I missing any great hidden gems?

Thanks in advance!

I love the Inspiration Station. It is a good size store with lots of nooks and crannies to explore. About half the store is geared towards scrapbooking and the other half is full of stamping goodness.

The Stamp & Scrap Nest is also a nice store, but much smaller. They had some stamps and accessories that I hadn't seen anywhere else.

I haven't made it to the other two, or Dick Blick, so I can't add anything about those.

I also loved the Inspiration Station when I visited CT & bought more than I wanted to that day but it was well worth the visit & hope to visit again next time I go to CT. for a few days. Have fun!

Anyone else have any suggestions for CT? Can't wait, my trip is a little over a month away :-)
