Love this shop! I feel inspired when I look around at all the beautiful beads. The owner and staff are so supportive in the way they encourage you to try new things and help when you're confused on a step in the process. The kits are fun and easy since they include all that's needed. Have been going here for decades.

The owner is amazing and will help you find wonderful color combinations for your next project. The other two workers are a delight and so much fun to be around and help you with color combinations. I drive 4 hours to shop and it's always worth the trip.
