ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:

NOTIONS STORES in Costa Rica = PASAMANERIAS - Where to find Sewing Notions like zippers, threads, needles, ribbons, buttons & more

In Costa Rica - NOTIONS shops - where you can find zippers, threads, needles, ribbons, buttons and sometimes Arts and Crafts supplies and LOTS MORE are called
"PASAMANERIAS".

WARNING - I have not found many Fabric Stores in Costa Rica ("Tiendas de Telas") carrying Notions like we're used to in the U.S. and they're not so easy to find.

PASAMANERIA LUISA  
(facebook.com/Pasamaneria.Luisa  •  2-228-4186 • 8-355-6504-Daniel [in case you don't speak Spanish])

MY FAV place to go for things like thread, zippers, elastic, etc. SOOOO CHEAP!!! They also carry SCRAPBOOKING supplies & have classes sometimes!
Send HUGS from me (Vicki) to owner Luisa who's a sweetie and her son Daniel is a real cutie sweetie AND he speaks GOOD English (making life easier!!)

HOURS:
Monday-Friday - 8am-noon & 1-6pm.  Saturdays - 8:30am-noon.

LOCATION:
Escazu (Centro)
On the road going UP/South the hill from the Scotia Split, go to the stop light - where you HAVE to turn Right (Fresh Market is on the left - where Toyco’s Factory USED to be), then LEFT at the 2nd street (at Casona de Laly), go up/South 1-1/2 blocks & they’re on the right (50 meters before the light/catholic church).
