I went this morning and they still had plenty of these sets. I found several other goodies as well, and decided I much prefer Utrecht to the other large art store in the area, brighter and easier to navigate, and some great deals. :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02742105802768625523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-61810597241800686692012-04-25T12:25:40.501-05:002012-04-25T12:25:40.501-05:00I've never heard of them, thanks!I've never heard of them, thanks!Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-49865311270383785202012-04-25T12:18:42.592-05:002012-04-25T12:18:42.592-05:00Italian Art Store always offers some kind of brush...Italian Art Store always offers some kind of brush deal with their watercolor palettes.Vicky L.
