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.

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.

I was crushed because we were waiting to tell the family until we had the ring sized. The gal (I believe her name is Michelle) went and spoke with the goldsmith and they were able to expedite it so I could have my ring by that evening! I was overjoyed! I even got the call that it was done before the anticipated time, so I could get it back sooner. It is stunning, and my fiancee said they were so easy to work with in the design process, as well. I look forward to continuing to do business with them for many years to come.

It's like being in your grandma's house. It doesn't look like it of course, it's not a home, but…read moreit has inventory that looks like it could be your grandmas. It's organized, far more so than other stores of its kind. Things are sorted by category, and labeled with prices that are both reasonable and expected. Some items are straight from old, classic diners (plates, salt and pepper shakers and creamers) and others are obviously from well-loved collections. It's the pictures though, from when color film first became mainstream along with old black and white photos where no one smiles, that's a little sad. Maybe the things in this shop belonged to those people, but it's still unfortunate that these unknown people have had their pictures tossed into a basket at an antique store for others to ogle dispassionately. That's weird. Broadwater is still a nicely organized shop with things you expect to find as well as things you don't. With new inventory rotating in, if you see something, don't wait, it may not be there.

While I was not able to attend the sale in person, my step-sister did stop by to drop off some needed items and she told me how incredible the whole place looked in preparation for the sale. I was able to view your website which featured a few pictures of the inside of the home but I know the pictures were just a small piece of all the work that went on behind the scenes. In the event you do use this as a reference letter, I would like to take a few lines to highlight to the reader what transpired behind the scenes during this estate sale. * This was originally supposed to be a two sale - Friday and Saturday - but ended up a five day sale over the course of two weekends * All glassware was washed, cleaned and professionally displayed * The prices were within reason of what the items would have brought in an antique mall * Communications leading up to and during the sale were really good. We always knew what was going on I could go on and on with this list but I think the reader gets the point. Debbie runs a first class operation with Estate Dispersal Service (EDS). If you are looking to go elsewhere, please be sure to ask the others * How will they handle security at the site during the sale? * Will customers be allowed to pay with a credit card? The fee charged by EDS is not that out of line when you compare the whole package with what others are trying to do. I know we were hesitant at first but it all was worth every penny that we paid. Thank you and your staff for all that you did. It was very well received and worth it for the entire family.

I have loved/collected antiques for many years and have met many great people while doing it but…read moreattending one of this business' sales was not one of those times. I have been to many EDS run sales in the past so I know they can be a little abrupt but dealing w/us bargain shoppers might be rough sometimes so I have always cut some slack. This poor treatment happened the day after the sale was official over so the heat of the haggling is no excuse. I was actually on my way to pick up my so called "winning bid" item (they had called me the night before to tell me) when I received a 2nd call telling me the item had been sold out from under me. I was shocked in to silence so she took that opportunity to rudely tell me they can do that if they want. Wow, rudeness on top of a shady deal. I understand that they want the best price for their customer but the sale was over, my bid was accepted, & I was in route to picking it up so I don't think it should still be considered available. The bid card was a binding sale agreement that I signed so why don't they have to honor it? From their website - "Our hallmark is experience and integrity". They may have experience but I really beg to differ on the integrity! At the same sale they took all the items away from another customer because they were insulted by an offer made on one of the items. While it is totally their right to refuse service being so rude can't be good for anybodies bottom line be it theirs or the estates. It could end up keeping people away from future sales so the estates will lose out on money along with this business. They seem to forget that the people buying the items are customers also and they might not want to treat us so poorly. If I could give them negative stars I would. I am even giving thought to adding a note in my will that my heirs use anybody BUT them.
