Remember something for next time: we sell cheap suitcases in America as well! Don't hold back and just buy another suitcase to take home with you, full of art supplies!
Actually, I put one suitcase, containing what I’ll be wearing. I N S I D E of a larger suitcase. That way I’m r e a d y to shop!! Also, wear one pair of jeans, and pack ONLY one other. Unless you somehow dirty the first, you can wear it for a week, no problem!! Regarding tops, unless you come during our winters, pack only the flimsiest of tops - things you can pack rolled up to save space. Bras and undies can be washed out at night and hung to dry from clip hangers (from the motel closet) over the shower rod. Hope you had fun in The States!! Be well!
When I travel, I tend to bring clothing that I am willing to leave behind in the country I’m visiting. That way, I can load my suitcase up with souvenirs. Mind you, this is the first time that I have considered the possibility of art supplies being souvenirs…. 😉
There are still limits to the number of baggages and the sizes. But having said that, she should just bring 2 empty suitcases with disposal clothing -clothing she can leave behind and use the space for art supplies.
So, what we have all learned from this experience is that if any of us who are from North America are planning a trip to Australia, we should contact Sarah for her wish list before we head out. 😉
im not gonna lie, when you said they lost the bag i cried a little, that would've broke me. spending so much money for nothing, good thing they found it! this video was so wholesome and fun to watch. i cant wait to see the mega color pencil testing you have planned.
Also. I will NEVER complain about the art supplies being expensive again. Wow. The prices you have to pay for things in Australia is.......actually just not fair!
ABSOLUTELY N O T FAIR!! Especially since the items are mostly shipped to A N Y country!! Freight costs can’t be THAT different to arrive at one country or another! And - if any of it comes from CHINA - it SHOULD be cheaper to get it Australia. They’re closer than the U. S.!!
@@kkrolf2782 yeah the prices she was saying just blew me away. I don't understand how that works. And then there's the thing where you guys don't get everything we do. WHY? Like all that beautiful paper?!?! Although for stuff we get from China it goes straight into Anchorage (Alaska) so it's not too much firther than Australia. Even so, it just makes no sense.
@@kkrolf2782 I guess it also depends on the demand. And Australia is in a very remote part of the world with New Zealand. Just like it is more expensive flying to a small town than a major city, just because there are more options and more business.
@@brianng8350 The Australia population may only rank 55th of the World’s population, B U T they also rank 4th in the World Economic Global Wealth rankings. Surely that SHould put them in the queue for receiving crafty goodies!!
I watched the other video and was upset that they lost your bag. So very happy that they found it. Bob Ross has been on SBS for a while. I love it when he brings on the animals and the fact that he's known for saying that there are no mistakes just happy little accidents. But ultimately his "beat the devil out of it" with paint brushes is what gets me the most.xx
I let out such a sigh of relief when I heard they found your bag. The dollar amount alone made it distressing, let alone the time, effort, and sentimentality of some of the stuff inside. SO glad that they found it for you. As an artist in America, I can also confidently say that not making it ten feet from the door before finding something you want to buy and being overwhelmed by everything in the store doesn't go away with time. I'm still in awe every time I walk into a big art store, and want to look at, touch, and buy the majority of things inside 😅 It's the artist equivalent of a giant toy store!!
The Art Supply Warehouse is my pride and joy of my community and I'm glad you got to go there! I go there very often just to Relax because it's such a wonderful art store.
Ok, as someone that lives in America and after watching this video, I’m never going to complain about prices of art supplies ever. I knew Australia prices were expensive but I had no idea! Thanks for sharing your experience and now, I’m off to go buy some art supplies hehe
Moving home to Melbourne in a year or so, I’ve developed a prepper mentality for art supplies. Need to live to a hundred to use up all the Arches paper and the 300+ open stock pencils. Expect the watercolours, inks, gilding materials, and heavenly brushes will outlast entire epochs. I regret nothing:)
Glad you came to the USA for art supplies. I know shipping is expensive but you can also consider going to a USA post office and ship your art supplies back hope using priority mail. This will give you more space for you suit cases plus an extra way to buy more more
I am a Kiwi Living in Missouri and I love going to the Art shops. I got a heap of Tombows for $1.00 each in a Michaels clearance bin and I was over the moon. I love this video. I told my husband all about it and Said see "I'm not the only one"
That blick’s was actually my local blicks!!! What a coincidence lol 😂 I was surprised at first when you said fullerton, but one look inside and I knew that it’s the same one I was at michael’s literally yesterday
I was so shocked when I saw they lost your bag! Every time I’ve visited the US I have filled up my bags with art supplies from Hobby Lobby and Michaels and I let my mother-in-law look for specific supplies every time before they come visit 😅😅 But I can’t believe you hadn’t heard of Bob Ross before! Sometimes when I can’t sleep I put one of his videos on and his calm voice and brushing of the brush gets me right to sleep 😅
As a kid, I grew up watching Bob Ross on PBS. He taught me how to paint beautiful mountains and happy little trees. He even made his own little sound effects with a swish of the brush, lol. Such a major painting icon and teacher for many older American artists. His 'happy little accidents' phrase taught me not to fret mistakes on my paintings. Worth a little historic research on his career and what happened to his paintings- the one's he created on/for the show 'Joy of Painting'. - This was a great video! Like a kid in a candy store- your eyes lit up beaming!
I feel like Shane and my husband have similar opinions on art supplies 😂 thought... my husband has a larger collection of tools that are exponentially more expensive. So glad they found your bag!!!
It’s so exciting to watch you enjoy these stores that we take for granted!! Your joy was infectious!! What a treat to see you enjoy your shopping trip!❤
Blick is my favorite store. I live 1.5 hrs from the Baltimore, Maryland and the DC stores, but have only been to each, once. I go to Savannah at least once a year and go to Blick when I'm there, which will be in 1 week! Great bargains and helpful staff.
Woah damn...! how I wish Singapore have art stores like Blick Art materials and Art Supply Warehouse as I definitely felt like the art supply in Singapore doesn't have that same huge variety as these two shops. I'm glad that you managed to find your suitcase. Hopefully, you can have a tracking device like Apple AirTag that can track your suitcase in your future trips. I do also hope that you can test out the different color pencils on the different product variations of neenah bristol vellum cardstock that is found in Amazon :)
Maybe Overjoyed and Art Friend have some of the items. This is the 2nd channel I found that spoke about Blick. They seem to have a nice collection and they do International Shipping. They also posted a thank you on the other channel for mentioning them! PS. It's Christian Scott Sava, if anyone wants to check out his artwork and calm narration.
I'm so happy ou made it to Art Supply Warehouse and In n Out Burger right down the street! I love Blick too, but Art Supply Warehouse is my favorite. Can't wait to see your future videos with some of these supplies!
Oh WOW! You lucky thing "The size of Bunnings"....I wish we had that size art shop here. AMAZING for you! Looking forward to the price comparisons. Glad they found your bag, hurray! I have the Bruynzeel Expression 12's, they layer and blend amazingly well for the price. Student grade but excellent!
Totally believe you spent the most at the Art Supply Warehouse! That place is amazing! Glad you were able to enjoy a bunch of art stores here in the US. 💜
If you’re in Sydney: try Parker’s fine art supplies in the rocks, the Sydney art store in botany, art scene in west Ryde, and ArtSup in Penrith. These shops pack a punch for variety if you’re over the typical chain art store. Options 2 and 4 are great online stores too.
When you stepped into the Fullerton Blick, I said "No Way. That is the art store I shop in all the time!! But why didn't she go to The Art Supply Warehouse since it is closer to the airport?" LOL I'm glad you made it to the warehouse. It truly is a unique experience and I treat myself to a trip there once or twice a year. It would have been a shame if you had missed it. I'm so glad you got your bag of treasures once you got home. Enjoy your art and thank you for sharing your journey. It made me smile.
Thank you for visiting us and having SO MUCH FUN!!! Yes, Bob Ross was our art guy. I remember growing up and watching him paint. I was soooooo excited to see his show every time!!
They found it ! Yaaaaaaay ! I will give you the Brazilian art supplies if you want ! I moved to Ireland and I'm having a meltdown with everything new in art here.
It was very joyful to shop with you! I live abroad for many years and know how fun it is when you have a shop that sells lots of supplies at great prices So glad they found your bag!
I love this video because I feel exactly the same when I am in that kind of shop. It feels like Christmas. All the supplies, all the possibilities, it's magic 🤩 Thank you Sara for this video, I feel seen 😅
I was holding my breath when you said the airline lost your bag. More and more I've been hearing about airlines "losing" bags but in reality there are people in the airlines that work together to put bags to the side to steal expensive items from them. It's becoming more and more a serious problem. People don't realize how big of an issue it's becoming and airlines are doing nothing about it. Anyways, I'm glad you and all of your bags made it safely back home! I shop all the time at Blick and a local art shop and I LOVE both of them so much. I always walk out with way more than I need but Blick always has great prices. Also I'm a little surprised that you didn't know about Bob Ross. I grew up with him in the states and watching his show. Such a legend. If you ever have the time, look into his background, he was a VERY interesting person.
Love this video and all of your cool finds! Blick's is one of my favorites!! Ive been to the ones in Kansas City, Missouri and Savannah, Georgia. I was so overwhelmed by the volume of supplies the I could hardly decide because i wanted it all!! LOL. I'm itching to try some Inktense pencils!! Thank you for all that you do for all who share your art supply obsession! ❤️✝️🌹✝️❤️
I feel your pain, when I moved to AU, it was a massive shock to see the prices of art supplies and that the selection was just so much more limited. Everytime I go home, I bring a few more art supplies back with me. xo
I loved this video and so glad you were in the US. For our coloring world, You are a celebrity here in the US. A meet and greet would’ve been nice at the Art Supply Store. Love your video!
On Brazil is near impossible to find so so many of these. We share the same feelings when visiting an art supply store in USA. Happy to see everything but said we don’t have the store.
I am very envious at this moment 😀 In Spain we have none of these stores and I have to buy most of my art and scrapbooking/mixed media supplies on internet websites. We have now thankfully got a few os these websites in spanish but about 15 years before when I started, I could only buy stuff from USA and UK and since the cost of snail mail went up, its now impossible to do that. I wish any of those big USA stores saw the potential in coming here. And yes, I too freaked out when you said they had lost your bag. I would have cried my heart out. I am so glad you got it back.
So happy you enjoyed shopping here! I realize now how much we take for granted here in the USA, not just with art supplies but much more. Blick’s is one of my go-to places.(in person and online). I live in Texas, but visit the Chicago store often. I say a prayer as they go to baggage on the plane. I’m sure that was a very upsetting experience, but so damn glad you got your stuff! Last year, we drove to Chicago, so I did not have a limit on space (just money, lol). I don’t know if this would have worked for you, but this last trip, I took everything to Fed Ex and had my purchases shipped to me. I paid a little extra for faster service and the package was home before I was! 😊 Hobby Lobby great for home stuff, if I need something quick, I’ll run into Michael’s instead. We also have a 2 great art shop here in Houston, Texas Art Supply and Jerry’s Artarama. if you visit Houston, you must visit! (I’ll be your tour guide, I have a car, no walking! Lol!) oh, and the rubber cement eraser, love it, great for removing sticky spots or smudges from artwork. Also, I’m patiently waiting for my Color Cube! I love the Color Catalog, I use it all the time! Thanks! 😊
It was fun seeing what you got at all of the different art shops. Being from America, I've never heard of Blick or the Art Supply Warehouse, but they look amazing.
But you could mail back home to Australia, now that's an epic adventure! Oh noo! Lost bag nooooo! Oh I don't think I could control myself going into those art supply shops. Thank you for sharing it was fun! Cheers from Tassy!
This was such a fun video! I recently found your channel and I'm literally binging and drooling over your beautiful art haul and art masterpieces. Thanks Sarah!
OMG Sarah! So many yummy art stuff!!! I would totally freak out if my bag was lost with all of my found treasures. You definitely have a strong will, because I would start using these goodies as soon as my bag would arrive. Three months is a veeeeery long time for such abstinence. I loved your video. Felt like I was there shopping together with you. I'll put on my list of places to visit when I go to USA. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so happy for you! I live in LA and you found my favorite art stores, Blick and the warehouse! If I had known you were in CA I would have gladly driven you there 👍
Im so jealous!!!!! I felt like I was buying stuff there with you!!! Just an FYI but some of those products are even cheaper here in Europe! Faber castell and ecoline at least are! But the way can’t wait to see more especially your input on the ecolines! ❤
I remember when i was in California a few years ago my family friends a furniture artist. he made us a california sign with where we went in a heart and he hand wrote a message on the back and we were waiting in the airport for 2 hours and we almost lost the bag it was in and we were so sad. but luckily we found it
I absolutely love Art Supply Warehouse! They are so helpful and their Instagram page is so creative with their promotions! It is definitely my happy place and we would be lost with out them =D
OMG - so envious ! I would have ditched all my clothes except for one set on the last day and filled the suitcase ! You showed amazing self control I think ...... Well Done ! I bet you were so nervous when your case went missing - so very glad you got it back - I would have cried for a year if they actually lost it all together! I WISH we had a comprehensive shop like they have over there full to the brim with all the goodies we could ever desire here in Australia too .... the closest I have found is The Artshop in Melbourne - I order offline to FNQ and have found them great to deal with and have a great range of goodies ----- I also shop with Jacksons from the UK as the postage to Australia is ridiculously cheap - I have been buying Roman Szmal watercolour pans from them and OMG they are gorgeous paints --- also have been getting the White Knights too.... So glad you had a great shop in the US - Just wish we had the offering of stores they have here too - one can dream Hey ? 😉
Great experience and so much fun. So happy they found your bag. So sad we have to pay so much for art supplies here in Aus. And living in Tas, there is basically nothing like those shops.
I would love to see what you do with the Distress Inks and Mica Sprays...And I am so happy that the airline found your bag :)!!! Also, your next American art supply trip should be to NYC. Bring two bags - LOL ~Angela
Wow just wow i get lost in Michaels, I might not return home if i visited the art supply warehouse. The deals on art supplies I don't own especially copics are incredibly cheap compared to Michaels and I live in the US and always price comparison. I say good haul. The shimmer sprays are fascinating that is what I'm looking forward to seeing you use in a future video.
Well if you struggle for supplies in Australia imagine my frustration in New Zealand! 🤔 and I stay in a small little town called Gisborne... even less supplies. This was such a tease... but I loved your venture.
Wow, I feel overwhelmed watching this 🤣. I work very hard to keep my art supplies minimal and I still end up feeling I have too much despite the limits I set. 😅
I just wanna say, that this was a very wholesome video. This truly touched my heart. The way you worded everything is just amazing. I thank you so much for making this. If it wasn't for this amazing work of art, I would have never known how important the meaning of life is. Once again, I thank you for this inspiring message. Thank you for making this and showing me that it is all worth it. I just couldn't thank you enough.

What you need is a friend to shop for you in the US and send it to you and glad to see you got your luggage back that would have really sucked if you didn't after doing all that shopping. Keep doing what you do it makes a difference
I would love to see the Molotovs first! I just got a few and I'm not sure where to start. I always appreciate you research and how inspirational your videos are!! ❤ 😁
All art stores, no budget... my dream day!! I also find myself wanting everything the second I walk in! And with all that, my favorite moment in this video was your husband handing you that item just so he could come back with, "so... no dice?"
I laughed through a lot of this. I am in the Mid East and I go nuts when I am somewhere westward. It's a great video and I'm watching a bunch of your videos. Liking all of them. Feel like shopping...!!!! Thanks so far. Jackie
In Portland Oregon we have an art store called collage and I love it. They're smaller stores, certainly not blick sized, but I like it cause sometimes blick can get stressy lol.
Soooo happy they found your suitcase! What a fantastic haul 😁 I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I think I'm most interested in seeing what you could do with the distressed inks, because I have no clue what they're for, lol!
Thank you Sarah for this clip. I live in Western Australia and even though I enjoy scrapbooking, card making, planning and creative journaling, we have such limited supplies to buy from. I guess that means less competition and fewer sales too. I have purchased from overseas and it’s the freight that kills me. Most of the time it’s the same as my purchases, so think double the price. And when I ordered from happy planner they took a month to get here! That’s why I started a UA-cam channel too, so that Aussie’s can source supplies. Any ideas or suggestions welcome!
I have shopped at all !! Michael's and Blick are the best!! Hope to see you at a Convention here in Chicago!! We have outstanding Art Museums and culture!!
So relieved they found your bag. Thanks for making us your first stop, and for sharing your experience!
I love how Blick is like the only art supply company that actually engages with art-tubers
Thera are any outlets of blick in india

Yay! So glad you made it to the art supply warehouse it's AMAZING! And thank goodness they finally found your bag 😟
Thanks for the recommendation! I could have easily spent $1000 there!
It looks like the Art Supply Warehouse only has the one location in California? 😔 I wish that was a US staple like Michael's and Joann's

@@661sInfamous you can look up their exact address but they're in the city of Westminster in Orange County of California!
It's seen that there are good offers and very nice 🥰.
I would stay walking for a good time just like a toy store 🤩
It wasn’t too far from LA!
Ok, as someone that lives in America and after watching this video, I’m never going to complain about prices of art supplies ever. I knew Australia prices were expensive but I had no idea! Thanks for sharing your experience and now, I’m off to go buy some art supplies hehe
It's also the cost of shipping. I have one art store and I live near the city so a lot of purchases are online too
Don't come to Canada then.
12:19 I was almost in tears... I thought someone had purposely taken it because you had so many goodies in that case. Thank goodness you have it!!!
Moving home to Melbourne in a year or so, I’ve developed a prepper mentality for art supplies. Need to live to a hundred to use up all the Arches paper and the 300+ open stock pencils. Expect the watercolours, inks, gilding materials, and heavenly brushes will outlast entire epochs. I regret nothing:)
We love our Blick stores here in the US, so happy to have them. So glad they found your bag!

I'm so happy they found your bag and art supplies! It was heartbreaking to hear it was lost in the last video.
I totally agree…. With so many art supplies right in front of you… You certainly had great self control! So glad you got your luggage back.
That blick’s was actually my local blicks!!! What a coincidence lol 😂
I was surprised at first when you said fullerton, but one look inside and I knew that it’s the same one
I was at michael’s literally yesterday

Thank you for visiting us and having SO MUCH FUN!!! Yes, Bob Ross was our art guy. I remember growing up and watching him paint. I was soooooo excited to see his show every time!!
They found it ! Yaaaaaaay ! I will give you the Brazilian art supplies if you want ! I moved to Ireland and I'm having a meltdown with everything new in art here.
It was very joyful to shop with you! I live abroad for many years and know how fun it is when you have a shop that sells lots of supplies at great prices
So glad they found your bag!
I love this video because I feel exactly the same when I am in that kind of shop. It feels like Christmas. All the supplies, all the possibilities, it's magic 🤩 Thank you Sara for this video, I feel seen 😅
I was holding my breath when you said the airline lost your bag. More and more I've been hearing about airlines "losing" bags but in reality there are people in the airlines that work together to put bags to the side to steal expensive items from them. It's becoming more and more a serious problem. People don't realize how big of an issue it's becoming and airlines are doing nothing about it. Anyways, I'm glad you and all of your bags made it safely back home! I shop all the time at Blick and a local art shop and I LOVE both of them so much. I always walk out with way more than I need but Blick always has great prices. Also I'm a little surprised that you didn't know about Bob Ross. I grew up with him in the states and watching his show. Such a legend. If you ever have the time, look into his background, he was a VERY interesting person.
Love this video and all of your cool finds! Blick's is one of my favorites!! Ive been to the ones in Kansas City, Missouri and Savannah, Georgia. I was so overwhelmed by the volume of supplies the I could hardly decide because i wanted it all!! LOL. I'm itching to try some Inktense pencils!! Thank you for all that you do for all who share your art supply obsession! ❤️✝️🌹✝️❤️
I feel your pain, when I moved to AU, it was a massive shock to see the prices of art supplies and that the selection was just so much more limited. Everytime I go home, I bring a few more art supplies back with me. xo
Oh my gosh my eyes were tearing up when u said your suitcase was lost. Sooo glad it was found.
Well that settles it, if I ever get a job in Australia, I’m going to have to negotiate an art supply difference bonus 😂
I loved this video and so glad you were in the US. For our coloring world, You are a celebrity here in the US. A meet and greet would’ve been nice at the Art Supply Store. Love your video!
I’d love to do a meet and greet on a future visit if I have more time!
On Brazil is near impossible to find so so many of these. We share the same feelings when visiting an art supply store in USA. Happy to see everything but said we don’t have the store.
I am very envious at this moment 😀 In Spain we have none of these stores and I have to buy most of my art and scrapbooking/mixed media supplies on internet websites. We have now thankfully got a few os these websites in spanish but about 15 years before when I started, I could only buy stuff from USA and UK and since the cost of snail mail went up, its now impossible to do that. I wish any of those big USA stores saw the potential in coming here. And yes, I too freaked out when you said they had lost your bag. I would have cried my heart out. I am so glad you got it back.
Sarah in Michaels & Dick Blick is exactly how I feel when I go to Michaels & Dick Blick. I JUST WANT ALL THE SUPPLIES 😭
The Stabilo Woody's are sooooo good! I bought them for my daughter and when you wetten them, you can even paint windows 😍🎨
So happy you enjoyed shopping here! I realize now how much we take for granted here in the USA, not just with art supplies but much more. Blick’s is one of my go-to places.(in person and online). I live in Texas, but visit the Chicago store often. I say a prayer as they go to baggage on the plane. I’m sure that was a very upsetting experience, but so damn glad you got your stuff! Last year, we drove to Chicago, so I did not have a limit on space (just money, lol). I don’t know if this would have worked for you, but this last trip, I took everything to Fed Ex and had my purchases shipped to me. I paid a little extra for faster service and the package was home before I was! 😊 Hobby Lobby great for home stuff, if I need something quick, I’ll run into Michael’s instead. We also have a 2 great art shop here in Houston, Texas Art Supply and Jerry’s Artarama. if you visit Houston, you must visit! (I’ll be your tour guide, I have a car, no walking! Lol!) oh, and the rubber cement eraser, love it, great for removing sticky spots or smudges from artwork. Also, I’m patiently waiting for my Color Cube! I love the Color Catalog, I use it all the time! Thanks! 😊
It was fun seeing what you got at all of the different art shops. Being from America, I've never heard of Blick or the Art Supply Warehouse, but they look amazing.
I thought I was gonna cry when they lost your bag. So happy they found it! Looks like a great time!
I hope you had a good time here! My country is great sometimes. We have shops and restaurants that other countries don’t have!
I'm so glad you got your bag back!
But you could mail back home to Australia, now that's an epic adventure! Oh noo! Lost bag nooooo! Oh I don't think I could control myself going into those art supply shops. Thank you for sharing it was fun! Cheers from Tassy!
We don't have art supplies stores in Saudi Arabia so this is fun to watch as an artist
No art stores at all? How do art and craft lovers get by?🤔
@@Patracat there's a bookstore called Jarir that sell some arts & crafts. It's not much, but we do with what we have
I would have said the same thing if I saw some Caran D’Ache pencils on clearance…. I must rescue them LOL. Fun video, thanks!
This was such a fun video! I recently found your channel and I'm literally binging and drooling over your beautiful art haul and art masterpieces. Thanks Sarah!
I am so glad they found your bag! When I heard the airline lost your luggage, I was soo sad for you. Thank goodness you have them back!
OMG Sarah! So many yummy art stuff!!! I would totally freak out if my bag was lost with all of my found treasures. You definitely have a strong will, because I would start using these goodies as soon as my bag would arrive. Three months is a veeeeery long time for such abstinence. I loved your video. Felt like I was there shopping together with you. I'll put on my list of places to visit when I go to USA. Thank you for sharing.
I love art supply shopping! Totally living vicariously through you in this one 😊
Wow to think they lost your bag🫣 so happy you got it back .
Looking forward to to your trail video of your new products 😅
Have a good week 🥰
Cute cat sticky notes are never a waste. I’m so happy you made this video and they found your bag. I’m up for a part 2 if you are
So happy for you that they found your bag. Have fun with the new stuff!
I'm so happy for you! I live in LA and you found my favorite art stores, Blick and the warehouse! If I had known you were in CA I would have gladly driven you there 👍
Im so jealous!!!!! I felt like I was buying stuff there with you!!! Just an FYI but some of those products are even cheaper here in Europe! Faber castell and ecoline at least are! But the way can’t wait to see more especially your input on the ecolines! ❤
I remember when i was in California a few years ago my family friends a furniture artist. he made us a california sign with where we went in a heart and he hand wrote a message on the back and we were waiting in the airport for 2 hours and we almost lost the bag it was in and we were so sad. but luckily we found it
Lol im glad I get to live vicariously through your art supply hoarding to keep my own under control😆
what a rollercoaster of emotions!!😅😅😅
I absolutely love Art Supply Warehouse! They are so helpful and their Instagram page is so creative with their promotions! It is definitely my happy place and we would be lost with out them =D
OMG - so envious ! I would have ditched all my clothes except for one set on the last day and filled the suitcase ! You showed amazing self control I think ...... Well Done !
I bet you were so nervous when your case went missing - so very glad you got it back - I would have cried for a year if they actually lost it all together! I WISH we had a comprehensive shop like they have over there full to the brim with all the goodies we could ever desire here in Australia too .... the closest I have found is The Artshop in Melbourne - I order offline to FNQ and have found them great to deal with and have a great range of goodies ----- I also shop with Jacksons from the UK as the postage to Australia is ridiculously cheap - I have been buying Roman Szmal watercolour pans from them and OMG they are gorgeous paints --- also have been getting the White Knights too....
So glad you had a great shop in the US - Just wish we had the offering of stores they have here too - one can dream Hey ? 😉
Great experience and so much fun. So happy they found your bag. So sad we have to pay so much for art supplies here in Aus. And living in Tas, there is basically nothing like those shops.
I would love to see what you do with the Distress Inks and Mica Sprays...And I am so happy that the airline found your bag :)!!! Also, your next American art supply trip should be to NYC. Bring two bags - LOL ~Angela
Wow just wow i get lost in Michaels, I might not return home if i visited the art supply warehouse. The deals on art supplies I don't own especially copics are incredibly cheap compared to Michaels and I live in the US and always price comparison. I say good haul. The shimmer sprays are fascinating that is what I'm looking forward to seeing you use in a future video.
Well if you struggle for supplies in Australia imagine my frustration in New Zealand! 🤔 and I stay in a small little town called Gisborne... even less supplies. This was such a tease... but I loved your venture.
I'm glad you had fun! And I'm glad they found your bag! Great video!
Watching you shop for art supplies was almost as fun as if I had shopped myself. Thank God they found your bag!
Wow, I feel overwhelmed watching this 🤣. I work very hard to keep my art supplies minimal and I still end up feeling I have too much despite the limits I set. 😅
Rubber cement pick up great for removing adhesives and masking fluid
I just wanna say, that this was a very wholesome video. This truly touched my heart. The way you worded everything is

Once again, I thank you for this inspiring
message. Thank you for making this and
showing me that it is all worth it. I just
couldn't thank you enough.

What you need is a friend to shop for you in the US and send it to you and glad to see you got your luggage back that would have really sucked if you didn't after doing all that shopping. Keep doing what you do it makes a difference
I would love to see the Molotovs first! I just got a few and I'm not sure where to start. I always appreciate you research and how inspirational your videos are!! ❤ 😁
All art stores, no budget... my dream day!! I also find myself wanting everything the second I walk in!
And with all that, my favorite moment in this video was your husband handing you that item just so he could come back with, "so... no dice?"
Now I know what the US UA-camrs mean when they refer to ‘Blicks’, I thought it was online only. Thank you for making this fun video.
Oh no!! My heart dropped!! How devastating lol. Im so glad at the ending!
Bob Ross dipping candy is just lick n dips or fun dips
I laughed through a lot of this. I am in the Mid East and I go nuts when I am somewhere westward. It's a great video and I'm watching a bunch of your videos. Liking all of them. Feel like shopping...!!!! Thanks so far. Jackie
When I heard your bag had been lost, my immediate thought was "Qantas has struck again!" So so glad they found it!
What a dream to e able to visit and get material from those stores. I loved the last one. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Welcome back to America soon! My favorite shop is always Michaels!!
I love how the first shop, close to the door, how much in the basket already 🙃
In Portland Oregon we have an art store called collage and I love it. They're smaller stores, certainly not blick sized, but I like it cause sometimes blick can get stressy lol.
Soooo happy they found your suitcase! What a fantastic haul 😁 I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I think I'm most interested in seeing what you could do with the distressed inks, because I have no clue what they're for, lol!
Thank you Sarah for this clip. I live in Western Australia and even though I enjoy scrapbooking, card making, planning and creative journaling, we have such limited supplies to buy from. I guess that means less competition and fewer sales too. I have purchased from overseas and it’s the freight that kills me. Most of the time it’s the same as my purchases, so think double the price. And when I ordered from happy planner they took a month to get here!
That’s why I started a UA-cam channel too, so that Aussie’s can source supplies. Any ideas or suggestions welcome!
Nice!! I can’t wait for you to swatch all these goodies 😍
I’m so waiting to go to America to buy art supplies.
So glad they found your bag 💜👋😊
I have shopped at all !! Michael's and Blick are the best!! Hope to see you at a Convention here in Chicago!! We have outstanding Art Museums and culture!!
