Star's Beads is a great place to go for your bead-related crafting needs, their stock is…read moreimpressive! Came here with my family since we were visiting other stores in the areas and my mother needed a particular item. While she was unsuccessful in that regard, the sheer variety of beads and related craft items is outstanding, and highly likely to give you exactly what you need (and most importantly, allow you to see and feel the product before you buy a bunch of it). The owner and employee we interacted with were nice, though seemed to take some umbrage at our mention of how challenging it was to find the place. I think it's cool that this area has a multitude of businesses fit into a relatively small amount of real estate, though that does present a challenge to those unfamiliar with the area and the stores they are looking for. Honestly, the signage was good, so there's not much more they can do to make locating them easier, it's just going to be a challenge for first-time customers. Pricing of individual items makes them doable for individual projects or gifts, though not for a business looking to source its crafting components. Getting samples from here to try them out then buying in bulk somewhere might be the most economically-efficient approach. Overall, I was very impressed with this location, and it appeared they were teaching a class in the back of the store as well, so if you're looking to brush up on your crafting abilities, this would be a great place to do it! Overall: 4.0 stars --- Pros: - Nice staff. - Great selection of crafting products. - Classes are available for those needing a refresher or instruction in crafting techniques. Cons: - Prices are decent for those pursuing unique projects, though would not be for people making crafts for sale. - Location is a bit of a challenge to find. My recommendation: look at every sign in the windows from the street, and if you pay close attention you will see Star's Beads, then walk around the building and there is a door in the back up some stairs (this is the actual entrance).

These nature stone are beautiful, but can get expensive. Sunday will be the last day of this natural stones sale. Still, if you're into making jewelry and selling it, you got to spend money to make money. The last time I was here, I didn't have as much fun. Maybe because the desire to make jewelry wasn't as appealing to me as it is now. Learning tricks of the trade will be fun. I met Ms. Kay and she is a character if I ever met one. Her personality is wonderful and when it comes to wearing jewelry, she says "go bigger." The fedora man had a good personality to, but I don't remember his name, but the man does have style. I will definitely be back to buy some tools I will need to improve my jewelry making skills. I would like to thank Ms. Kay and my wife for opening my eyes on a wonderful hobby.

If you want to buy a souvenir when visiting Myrtle Beach, I highly suggest this instead of tchotchkes that will mean nothing. This is something you will always remember. You pick out your frame and arrange the shells and decorations on it the way you want it, then they put a secret sand base down in another frame, and you gently set your shells exactly how you had it in the other frame. What a great idea. It was so fun watching everybody concentrate and just having a great family time. Lori helped and guide them all in the right direction. Excellent customer service. They do birthday parties, and special events. If I lived in the area, I could see us having our parties here. Highly recommend. They do take walk-ins, I would schedule an appointment since it's not a large space.

I also had a brownie. It was very chocolaty and almost gooey like raw brownie batter inside, which I personally like. The shop also offers baking classes. It's a modern and spacious interior. Prices are a bit in the higher side. I like that the menu offerings change (like what flavors are offered) and I want to try some cookies and the gooey butter cake next time!

My experience can be summed up in three words, " not worth it". I've lived in the area over 40…read moreyears and I've eaten at almost all the restaurants this area has to offer. My wife and I received a gift certificate as a wedding gift and decided to go on Tuesday June 24th. We chose the test kitchen which samples wines with three foods. First of all, we chose the VIP seats, which were $85 each as opposed to the house seats which are $75 each. I'm still trying to figure out what I got for the extra $20 when we were seated further away from the Chef than anyone else. Then I was disappointed to find out that the owner had given the day off to her entire staff because of a big event the day before. So effectively, we were in the "hangover" category for customers. I have no concern about a special event the day before, but it should not affect the service and the presentation of the food, and right off the bat I felt like we were getting short changed because everybody was given a day off. Next, all we got was a salad and a serving of wine, then a piece of flatbread with a little bacon and potatoes on it and a serving of wine, then another salad, which was cucumber slices with some whipped cheese on top, and a serving of wine. I was expecting three distinct dishes instead of a couple of salads and an appetizer. She did give us some pasta salad to go that was left over from the previous event as well as a sample container (ala lunchables) which had some chicken salad, watermelon, grapes, and Gouda cheese. She also threw in a small dessert. Honestly, I would've done better at a deli at Publix, where we could've gotten something equivalent along with a bottle of wine and still saved $100. After leaving, I felt like we needed to go through a drive-through fast food restaurant to actually have a meal. This was definitely not worth $170. I would've much rather spent that at a restaurant and had a full meal with a bottle of wine. Maybe my experience was not good because of the event the day before, but I can only judge it by the time that we were there. Maybe it's like this every time which is why I'm writing this review. If it's not like this every time then why were we short changed? Not recommending this to anyone. Thankful for the gift from my son and his wife, but the money could've been better used elsewhere.

And there's SO MUCH unique stuff! I love when I find a shop that has truly unique items I've never seen elsewhere. Due to the shop footprint it is a little cramped but I've definitely been in worse. The cashier greeted us upon entry and exit which I appreciated. Overall, despite the pricing which is definitely higher than I'd care for, I highly recommend this place. It's a good place to browse if you're a little bit of an oddball and like unique things ranging from: Marijuana, Elvis, Jewelry, Witchcraft, Christianity, Holiday decor, Many celebrities, Dad type gifts, beach decor, clothing, and above all, Stevie Nicks!
