Beads. Beads. Beads. To infinity, I think. At least as far as the eye can see in a building, anyway.
Big beads, "sorta" big beads, medium beads, medium-small beads, little beads, tiny beads, and even tinier beads barely visible to the eye. Glass beads and crystals. Here, you can buy the rainbow. Or just one color in the spectrum.
Heck, you don't even need to buy a bead, you can buy stones, instead. And those, too, come in multiple sizes and colors. Some with patterns, some not.
All of this leads to the inevitable -- what to do with the stash you see and buy. Make jewelry of course, or add some decoration to a favorite item. Anything you want.
If making jewelry is your passion, or a wannabe passion, come here. They have all the supplies you need -- metal wire of every kind, chains in multiple sizes and styles, string, even large metal pieces to decorate or string. On the wall are some ready-made items for sale if you want to pretend a) you know the artist personally and bought it directly or b) that you made it yourself.
Buy the Bead also offers classes and if you're looking for guidance or help in gathering things for your vision -- ask. It's clear they love what they do here. read more
