Pluto and Embroidery

I've got some questions for this community:

-When Pluto packed up and left Davis did it move to another location or did it close it's doors forever? If it did move, where did it go? It was my favorite place to buy quality cards and other funky gifts.

-I am on a search for a stamped cross stitch tablecloth kit. I've looked in Michael's in Everett with no luck. Does anyone know of good places to find kits like that?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There is still the one in Jamaica Plain although after talking to the owners in December, they might be forced to move from there too. They were hoping to find a new Somerville location. I can't confirm that it's still in JP but it was a few months ago.

It was there about two weeks ago, but it did have a sign on the door that made me worry.

what did the sign say?

Something to the effect of 'for rent'. we were in a car so I couldn't see a lot more.

magpie on highland has hip cards and gifts. i just love it there. they also have sublime stitching kits. http://www.magpie-store.com/

Yep. As mentioned above, Magpie carries Sublim Stitching embroidery kits. Sounds like you're looking for cross-stitch? Spark might carry cross-stitch kits but I'm not sure. Worth a phone call.

But there's a place on Mass Ave in Arlington that specializes in cross-stitch:

Cross Stitch Unlimited
127 Massachusetts Ave. Arlington, MA 02474
http://stitchstash.com/index.html

If I recall correctly, it's sorta near the Capital Theater.

You could also check out the new AC Moore at Assembly Square, as well as Pearl Crafts in Central Square.

Don't know if it re-opened but

I did see the old big Pluto store sign on someone's porch as I was walking around the other day.
