Well we’ve finished up the endless saga of our Wyoming, South Dakota, and Nebraska it’s time for a craft shop post – this time in Victoria, British Columbia!
In early July John and I headed to Washington state to visit his cousin who lives in Bremerton, Washington. On a whim we decided, as long as we were in the Pacific Northwest to add to our trip a visit to Mt. Rainer National Park, and an overnight visit to Victoria, BC which I’ve visited several times before (and absolutely love) via the Black Ball Ferry Line out of Port Angeles, Washington.
More on this Pacific NW adventure in future posts, but for now let’s focus on the fabulous time I had exploring the Button & Needlework Boutique in the Downtown/Inner Harbour section of Victoria, BC.
John and I were wandering after dropping off our bags at the hotel and we turn the corner and see this:
Walking into the Button & Needlework Boutique I was greeted with this delightful sight:
This shop is filled with embroidery patterns and supplies; yarn and fiber craft supplies; and loads and load of buttons!
The also had beautiful Japanese Sashiko kits and supplies, as well as beautiful examples of Sashiko stitching on display:
I couldn’t leave without picking up some buttons (I also bought a Sashiko kit which I forgot to photograph):
I fell in love with these owl buttons. There were many buttons to fall in love with but I behaved.

That would be a fun shop to explore, and I like your owl buttons! The sashiko kit was a good idea, too. I’ll be curious to see it!

That would be awesome! It was a quick impromptu trip and John had never been to Victoria before so I wanted to cram in all he could see in a day (Ferry left Port Angelas at 3:00 pm and we left Victoria next day at 5:00 pm) 🙂
