Shopping Local: Find Something
For Everyone at Crafts 4-U By Michelle Svangstu When living no less than an hour or two from the “big city,” a shopping trip can become an all-day event, combing aisles of goods only to come home empty-handed, unable to find what was needed. For Crafts R-U owner Pam Urvand, that is exactly why she continues to provide goods in Crosby and give back to the community.
“I took over Crafts 4-U from Cheryl Lokken and Karen Sparks June 1, 1993,” Urvand said. “ It was a consignment and handmade crafts store then, and they offered it to me because I consigned my crafts with many stores and did craft shows.” After the first year, Urvand added clothing for the whole family, craft supplies, home and yard decor,
jewelry and tuxedo rents. After five years, she started to offer embroidery and silk screening as well as Carhartt, Ariat and Wrangler clothes. Since that time, Urvand has continued to add to her line of goods, carrying name brand and boutique style clothing for men, women and kids, including Tribal, Kancan, Judy Blue, Nike, Adidas and Under Armor.
