We are a bunch o' crazy ladies (and a couple of bemused male relatives) crazy about beads. We buy 'em, sell 'em, make 'em. We think, eat, sleep, talk beads. We look for beads everywhere. We go on vacation and look for beads, we cruise the internet looking for beads. We nag our supplies about quality, variety, cost. We know that WE want to buy the best beads at the best prices, and we know you want to as well!
What can we do for you? We provide beads (and findings and other stuff) so that you can make beautiful jewelry. Make jewelry for yourself at a fraction of the cost of retail. Make lovely, thoughtful gifts. Make it for sale. Make it as an heirloom or for tonight's party! Make it as personal statement. Don't know how? We've got you covered there too. We have classes and kits.
We do have a store you can come in and buy beads even stay and have a coffee and assemble your creations if you want! As well, we are this online site so you can shop in your pajamas! We are open to the public.
