DIY ladies - where did you get your supplies?

I'm going to have a LOT of DIY projects to take care of in the next year, so I'm thinking of at least starting to price things out.  For my fellow Torontonians (I can't drive so it's gotta be TTC), where did you go for your supplies?  East end is even better, Scarborough is fine...

I'm looking at supplies for invites, escort cards, card box, silk floral arrangements (allergic to real ones), centrepieces, favours....  The works, really.

    I'm thinking about doing my own invitations too! My wedding isn't until October 2012.
    Try Michael's. There's one by Downsview station:
    30 Billy Bishop Way
    TORONTO, ON M3K 2C8

    paperwise, I ordered online.  A combination of shopanchorpaper.com and paper-garden.ca

    pretty much everything else came from michaels.

    I'll be getting some things from etsy.com as well.  They have an awesome selection of products.

    I LOVE Michaels, just make sure you make the best use of coupons and sales :)
    Also, for the items that you can, VistaPrint can be REALLY cheap if you get in on the right living social deals/email savings.
    I know I designed my own business card size STD magnets, had them printed, and got 150 of them for around $10 including tax and shipping.

    We used Michael's and always went in with their 40% off coupons!  We designed our own invitaitons using photoshop and then used The Printing House to have them printed.  They did a fantastic job and were very reasonably priced.  They also have locations all over the GTA.  I had to print some things last minute the week before the wedding, and found a location in the TD centre right downtown!

    Ditto to Michaels, I used The Paper Place in Markham, Solutions, VistaPrint for my STD's, and Bulk Barn for candy!

    Thanks so much ladies!  I'm doing the STDs solo pretty soon, so guess I better start watching for Vistaprint deals!  FMIL loves crafting so she's going to be giddy about a Michael's run (or ten!).

    On a similar note:  I need a lot of antique-looking keys....  any clue who might have those?

    For pocket folds and card stock, try http://www.cardsandpockets.com/. My friend made her invites using these and saved quite a lot.
