I don't bead but this place is an inspiration of gems and rocks and stones and supplies to spear and post and string and wire. My sister is wacky for beads and told me this was THE place to pick her up a gift. The ladies are smart and kind, friendly, helpful and, guess what: CRAFTY ! My sister is the world's best person and deserves the very best. I have picked up gems and beads for her other places but Spearit Beads in Albany is simply the BEST. Thanks gals and keep it up!!

They seem to be open everyday and have regular morning-afternoon hours. I've passed the hand painted sign and the old white little house many time driving to OSU. Finally visited and glad I stopped by. SHOP IS IN THE BACK OF THE HOUSE. I parked in the front drive way and I was looking at the buckets full of dirty looking rocks in the front lawn. I failed to notice a sign pointing to the back of the house. This is where the magic begins! Unpolished and uncut Beautiful slabs, and buckets full of rocks line the walk way leading to a little cute cabin. Inside is brightly lit with shelves and bins of gorgeous rock & crystals. Very reasonable prices. I was fortunate to meet Alan the shop owner. He informed us that many of the rocks sold were collected by his father. He cuts and polishes in house. We bought a few thunder eggs and watched them get cut. Also picked up a petrified wood piece!

Good Day Yelpies,…read more From the outside, this place looks absolutely amazing--its long-standing history as an independently owned business is what drew my wife and me in for some furniture shopping. As many of you know, furniture is a long-term investment, and the shopping experience should come with attentive, knowledgeable staff who help guide you through that process. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt more observed than welcomed. One employee made eye contact and immediately turned away, and as we continued browsing--essentially left to "prospect" on our own--there was little effort to engage or assist us. On our way out, another staff member offered a brief hello but never followed up to ask if we needed help. When you're making a significant purchase like furniture, customer service matters just as much as the product. Sadly, this visit left us feeling overlooked rather than valued. We later found our couch at another location and will receive it in 30 to 60 days due to the customization we requested. We are happy to have found a place that truly understood what we were looking for our home.

You purchase the pre-made piece and they provide the paint, brushes, firing and everything else you may need. For what you get and the enjoyment, it's very affordable family fun. I wanted a bowl and a plate to personalize for myself. The art and creativity just pours out of you. It's intense and enjoyable. Watching the family intently working on their projects across the table is so satisfying. The service was off the chart! Charity, working alone, was simply amazing! With all that she was responsible for, you'd think there were three of her working at the same time. You'd normally work on your stuff there, but at the time we had to take our projects home, due to Covid. We weren't quite finished at home, but had run dry of the proper paint. We showed up at the store and they were packed with Spring break families. Charity somehow found us a small table to finish our projects. Much appreciated Charity! She was working alone and while we were there, she unfortunately had to turn away family after family, every 5 minutes. I felt an urgency to finish my work quickly, so other families would have a chance to play. I'm so happy that they are busy. This type of business needs to sustain for families and the community. I love this good stuff. We left our finished pieces there to be fired and told that we should expect to pick them up in about a week. I can't wait to eat from my personalized bowl and plate. They are microwave & dishwasher safe, so it's chow down time when they are complete. Anyway, go, go, go there! Support this unique and special place. It's fun, affordable & easy for all ages and their selection of projects are endless. Thanks again Charity, you do the service industry very proud. Your attitude is positively contagious. Keep up the great work!
