(Author's Note: We deliberately focused on the smaller, independent shops in the Upstate New York region. This is not a judgment on any of the big craft and art supply stores that do a great job, such as Hobby Lobby, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Michael's, etc. But we wanted to shed some light and spread the word about some beloved local businesses for this one.)
