Pat Catan’s

Pat Catan’s is an arts and craft chain located in various parts of the city. The reason for my visit was to obtain a grave vase that fits in the ground and fill it with artificial flowers. Currently they have a special going on for Memorial Day arrangements but since my mother was not a veteran I knew that would not be appropriate.
The lady let me pick out the vase urn along with the Styrofoam that will hold the arrangement. I was able to find various spring flowers reduced at half price which I thought would make a nice arrangement. She told me that they will make it for me if I would give them a couple of days. I was okay with that since I wasn’t in any hurry. They also sell ribbon which either they or you if you have the skill can make into those giant bows that go around the base to make it look pretty.
The store is very reasonably priced and good if you are into making your own crafts. They did tell me that they make these grave vases all year so I can come back anytime to arrange for another spray to be made.
This store is located at the entrance of McKees Rocks in the site of the former Foodland. My daughter who had just graduated college with a degree in art found the store very interesting for some of the skills she uses. They are also online if you want to look for sales.

My favorite craft-​store. good prices and selection and the staff well
they are always so helpful! I just wish the paint supplies were on sale more often.

Off and on through out my life I’ve been crafty, like a fox mostly, but crafty. Pat Catan’s is one of the few places that you can get almost, almost everything you need to make some pretty cool stuff. I usually leave missing something, like every time (–1). Now if all I did was stamping or collage, maybe they’d have it. The other good thing is that on a Saturday morning it’s packed with girls, ladies, women, you know what I mean: D
