Does anyone know of a shop in Dublin that sells Irish scrapbook papers and notions? An online search produced a list of stores, but when I checked out each one, they seemed to be either Artist supplies or souvenir shops. I’ll be in Dublin mid October and hope to get some supplies to make a photo memory book when I return home. Any scrappers out there who’ve been to Dublin?

I don’t think scrapbooking is very big over here so you may have problems finding much choice. In the UK, there’s a chain called Hobbycraft, but they don’t seem to be in Ireland. There seems to be a place called Art&Hobby in Dublin, they may have scrapbooking stuff. But because it isn’t as big here as in the US, you might find that much of what you find comes from the same sources, I can’t imagine that the supplies are actually made in the UK or Ireland..

One idea is to look at or ask at bookstores. A great book shop in Central Dublin is Hodges Figgis on Dawson Street.

Yes, I figured it may not be as popular as in the US. Probably now scrapbook notions are obtained more online anyway. A number of years ago I found a scrapbook store in Oslo when we visited Norway.
I do plan to visit Hodges Figgis, as I love bookstores . Thanks for the answers!

I found a bookstore that specifies the sale of scrapbooks on its website: Eason, 40 O'Connell Street Lower, https://www.easons.com/. And I've been in Eason. Like Hodges Figgis, Eason boasts a wide selection.
