My friend & I stopped into Beads on the Avenue to see if we could find some interesting beads for jewelry-making. There aren't too many stores like this around, so it's really hard to make a comparison.
Upon entering the store, I was at first overwhelmed by the selection. I didn't know where to look first. After examining the inventory more carefully, it became easier to discern what was where. The selection of findings & beads is deep. It's nice to know a place to shop for jewelry making supplies that is head over heels above the big box craft stores.
The bead selection includes a large, varied collection of glass beads, Czech glass beads, pottery beads, pearls, semi-precious stones & a whole lot more.
Classes are offered to learn many new techniques. They also sell jewelry, created from beads sold in the shop. I was very impressed. I'll be back! read more
