Located in the Main Street shopping complex of Lakewood Ranch makes it convenient to access with plenty of parking. I was looking for a pair of mushroom earrings for a gift for a 17 year old and the clerk/owner was able to direct me right to the only pair she had in the shop. I wasn't sure of the color but they were so cute I purchased them. After showing them to the mom of the 17 year old she said her daughter would not wear them due to the color. On a chance they would let me trade them for something else I popped back in to inquire about trading them. The same woman was so accommodating and made it so easy to swap the earrings for a couple of other beads. The shop itself was so well organized and a beaders paradise. Lovely selection of beads and jewelry at reasonable prices. If yiu are in tge area check it out

Anytime I go in I'm greeted with friendliness and answers to any questions I have. Their wide selection of beads (some hard to find) is my favorite in the area.

What a find! This little shop is jam packed with a wonderful selection of beads & findings. I took a class with my sister and made this fabulous bracelet. Couldn’t wait to go back & start another project.

I want to begin by saying that my experience with this store and the owner was one of the best I have ever experienced. Renee is one of the kindest and sweetest souls I’ve ever met and now have the pleasure of calling friend. Her store is delightful and super fun with all the craft items she carries; all kinds of beads, silver and gems to make your own jewelry and ready made jewelry as well. The highlight for me was her silver jewelry making classes, which I took for the three months I was there. I went every week and had the best time learning how to make my own silver rings, bangles and pendants. I also took beading classes and I loved it. Renee is the best instructor you could ask for as she enjoys what she does and it comes across during the sessions. She is patient, caring and it’s super fun to work with her. Ruby, her dog is an added bonus to the experience. I will miss them very much till I see them again. Love you Renee and Ruby!

This is one of the funnest places I’ve ever been. It’s the cutest shop filled with many kinds of beads and findings etc. There are so many different types of jewelry making you can learn here. They offer classes for each. I have taken quite a few and never fail to learn something new. I would recommend to anyone to try any of the classes. I’m so happy I now know how to bead.

Renee' the owner is so pleasant and extremely helpful. She went above and beyond to help this crafty challenged individual. She helped me see how FUN making my own jewelry is!! I think I do have a bit of creativity in me. Thank you Renee' for helping me find the creativity in myself I didn't even know I had!!!
