I opened my store in June of 2003 as a result of being frustrated trying to find just the right beads and findings without having to resort to ordering on line or through a catalog. Well, that and the fact that I could not stop buying beads.
Now I have the pleasure of buying beads for all of you. I have always been fascinated by faraway lands and exotic cultures, and the global aspect of beads has always interested me. I place an emphasis on the origin of the various beads I carry. Maybe it is because man has been stringing beads since the beginning of time, but I find something very basic in working with beads.
My aim is to provide a friendly, comfortable atmosphere for all, no matter what skill level, to share in the comraderie of beading.
Come join us.

Crystal's Corner   Happy New Year
I just love saying that! The new year to me means new beginnings; a clean slate if you will. I get an organizational bee up my butt every January. Unfortunately, it never lasts too long. I am soon back to my haphazard ways. But I always try again the next new year.
This year, my goal is to bring some new and interesting classes to Crystal Bead Bazaar. We started in that direction last year, bringing in Hannah Rosner from New Mexico, and Laura Pacino from Columbus, Ohio.
So my question to you is simple: What classes or instructors would you like to see us offer? I am open to suggestions. Shoot an email to crystalbead@city-net.com with any ideas that you may have. I look forward to your input.
