“What a great experience at Bead Inspirations. I have been putting off repairing my earrings for weeks and maybe months. I made it to Bead inspirations and Jesse and the team were so helpful with suggestions and repairs needed all very affordable and with great customer service and feat repair. Thank you for fixing my local artisan earrings for continued wear!”
“Cute whimsical store that features a lot of curated and locally made clothing, jewelry, and home items. Every 2 weekends or so, they also setup outside kiosks along the front of their store. You'll find a lot of anime-related gifts and also Renaissance fair or DND styled clothing and capes. Prices are more on the high side, but you'd be supporting local artists.”
“A wonderful community space. Kind and empathetic practitioners who value wellbeing over profit. A sitting space that doesn’t require purchase to utilize. Activities that inspire community without asking money. I’m a big fan.”
“this place is a hidden gem on park st!! the owner is super nice and knowledgeable on the scent collection in the store. my friend and I made custom perfumes and we both love them. there's also a lovely variety of handkerchiefs, tote bags, jewelry, etc. highly recommend checking it out!!”
“What a fun store. It’s been years since I visited & it’s just as wonderful as I remember. Amazing amount of diverse & unique merchandise with wonderful sales ladies. I hope to return for more goodies soon.”
“So much fun. Almost 4 hours later you realize that it's 10 min till closing and there is no way you have enough time to go back to that first booth you saw a cute thing you wanted to go get before you leave”
“Not what I expected when I first walked in. There wasn't any fancy display cabinets filled with shiney gold and silver for me to look at. Then again, why should there be? The shiney object started with what Mike had to offer me in the terms of knowledge. Mike is straight forward and while a bit gruff (which I kinda enjoy), he was totally kool to deal with, a straight shooter indeed. I definitely will be stopping back by again. Thanks Mike”
“I came here for a jewelry repair. The owner was approachable and helpful. I lost the link to my 14K gold bracelet. Cost of repair was $20. Owner had it ready for pick up five days later.”
