Stockade is where I order from here in Canada...I live in an isolated place and don't have access to much paints/brushes or other supplies :) They are great and they also ship to U.S. if you are located there...with your dollar being so much better it would really be nice for you to order from a place in Canada! I order books from artists club usually, but my pattern packets I try to buy direct from the designers, sometimes from Ebay:)

www.craftcatalog.com is a good place for brushes and paints.

I do a lot of ordering through e-bay. There are some very good deals on brushes and paints. You can also get a marvelous catalogue from Nasco Arts and Crafts and it will also give you prices that you can compare to know which price is reasonable. The company number is 1-800-558-9595 and specify arts and crafts since they have more than one kind of catalogue. I didn't the first time and ended up with a huge catalogue on farming supplies!

The Artist Club has some great deals and are reliable.
