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.
