This has been my favorite bead store for many years. They are friendly, knowledgeable and have just about anything you could think of to create beautiful jewelry as well as a gorgeous selection of stones, crystals and books.

Not only is this well organized shop stocked with a wide selection of every type of bead or bead crafting item you could want, there are well organized people there to assist you. Plus, they are very friendly! It is always a delight to shop here.

The store is recovering from a fire in 2020, so the selection is somewhat limited but does have some findings and an expanding selection of beads and such. As of 6/07/2021 Beads are mostly seed beads but there's a wide variety of colors, sizes and finishes available. Bone beads too, as well as ceramic and stone. The tools and materials needed for beading are well-represented, with different kinds of pliers, needles, threads, wire, etc available. There's also a section of polished stones and crystals of varying sizes for those doing crystal healing or wanting pretty stones for decorating. They have a gift shop as well. Staff are friendly and helpful but will let you browse in peace. Prices are reasonable. I had visited a number of years earlier and remember there being an impressive variety of... pretty much everything that gets used for beading, with a sense of whimsy in the bulk offerings. Small beads of turtles hatching, for instance. The store has been around for 30 years and has a solid customer base so will likely survive the setback of fire and covid.

The selection is incredible! If you can't find it here, it may not exist. I went in looking for just a few beads and ended up with enough for 50 projects. The staff makes you feel welcome, not watched like at other bead shops. When I need beads this will be my one and only stop from now on.😁
