Colemans shops - great K&Co Wild Saffron bargain!

[DianaDreads]

I don't know if any of you are near to a Colemans but in the Peterborough branch today I got a great bargain on some Wild Saffron stuff.
For £11.99 I got the 36 sheet pad of 12x12 double sided papers, tag pad, sentiments embossed stickers, adhesive paper ribbons, fabric brads, chipboard alpha box, die cut tags and bare chipboard mini book.
Since the papers cost £8.99 alone I was very happy at that price :D

eta that they did have some other bargain kits but they were £16.99 and didn't have as much stuff in them. There was a Carol Wilson and a Creative Imaginations one amongst others.

Thats an amazing price and I love Wild Saffron. Sadly, there isn't a Colemans down south. I think Colemans shop are all around the middle of the country.

My local independent craft shop has this pack too....(its Emerald crafts at Lyndhurst Hampshire...he's got a website as well). The pack that I picked up was in a big sealed plastic bag so you could see all the stuff. When I took it to the counter he said that's the display one I'll get you out a new one, burrows behind the counter and pulls out a familiar Personal Impressions card envelope with a 6 digit number on it. The packs weren't on display and he carefully opened the envelope and packed my stuff into a carrier so I guess whoever is supplying doesn't want it known or at least published blatantly
I know the guy quite well (he gets a load of my housekeeping each month lol) so I asked him if he was sure about the price. "Oh yes" he says" this is old QVC stock. Thats how we can offer it at this price." I didn't ask if it was supplied from QVC or Personal Impressions but its certainly worth checking out your local shop!!

Lyndhurst isn't too far from me either Sheila. Are you my neighbour? ;) I didn't even know there was a craft shop in Lyndhurst. Haven't really been there since I stopped doing the crafts shows in the community centre.

Personal Impression often make TV packs available to their other stockists, I think they are returns for QVC.

These deffo WERE NOT returns from customers although they might have been unsold stock. The envelope was still sealed and pristine

A lot of the personal impressions stuff used to turn up on Blackbushe Sunday Market. Haven't been in years so wouldn't know if they still are.

A group of friends and myself had a lucrative outlet (or should that be inlet) for the PI ex QVC stuff a couple of years back, but sadly it dried up. I got some great QVC kits for less than half price.

i went into the colemans shop in malvern this week but didn't see anything like that. i did get a pack of the papermania scalloped edge 8" card pack with 25% off.

That's a shame. They weren't advertised though, I found my pack on the back wall near the demo area and they didn't look very interesting in their clear plastic bags.
It only caught my eye by chance and the woman working there didn't know anything about them - I checked the price as I couldn't believe my eyes and she seemed very unimpressed with my great bargain!!
Maybe if you ask they might have them tucked away? Like I said, they had lots of other packs but I really didn't dare risk more temptation so I didn't look at them properly :rolleyes:
