I love La Bead Oh. The owner & staff are super friendly and helpful. The large selection of good quality beads, stones, cabochons, tools and supplies far surpassed my expectations. It is amazing how much is in a small shop, and still, it is well-organized and clean and very shop-able. They have very fair prices, comparable to reputable, online bead stores, plus it's local! read more

Small quaint bead shop. Sales clerk was very helpful. Close to historical sites so while I was shopping my husband had somewhere to go within walking or driving distance. It was a little hard to figure out how to get in the store as there wasn't an entrance where the sign of the store was. You will need to walk around to the other side. Glad I stopped there. read more

History

Established in 2003.

We are here because we have a passion for beads, we love the process, we love the people, we love the puzzles, we love the feel.

Meet the Business Owner: Kathy D.

I have 3 grown children, and a man, Patrick to keep me in line .He hangs around here peddling antiques, so if you come in, you will probably meet him. I have been doing all kinds of crafts since I was a little girl but started focusing on beading about 20 years ago. I like to work on puzzles, and this is a good way to" get my fix" with that. I love to see the way things go together. I don't really even care if they get finished, as long as I master the process. I know a little bit about a lot, so if you are a beginner, I can most certainly help with any of your beading questions, but if you are advanced, we may have to work on answers together. I like to look, touch and play with beads and other pretty things. When I was in college, I wanted to be a museum curator. This seems kind of similar to me. I'm a keeper of the beads and I love what I do.

Free and ample parking for everyone! We were happily surprised to find the store larger than it used to be. They finished an expansion this last fall that allowed them to expand space for large board game tournaments and swaps. Really love the board game library free to play from as well. Plenty of space to bring friends and hang out. The friendly cashier mentioned that they are working on a partnership with the local Whimsy Tea Company to serve their DnD themed teas in the shop while folks are playing. This shop has almost everything you could want in the way of games, supplies and figurines and all at great prices. Games are sold at or below MSRP which makes the choice easy to support them. Stuff on Amazon is rarely cheaper. We bought a small card game for some friends and went on our way, but this shop will always be a stop for us while we are in Springfield.

Apple Barn

A diamond in the rough and a great place for delicious treats…read more We were visiting Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Ill and wanted to get a snack. We found this place online. It is a little south of the city and west of the interstate but it is absolutely worth the detour. It is a rustic place called the Apple barn and parking is right in front. Their website gives a lot more information about it being more than just the main shop that is in the barn. They began as a family apple orchard and expanded over the years into a collection of attractions including two restaurants, a general store, a creamery, a winery, a candy factory, and a Christmas shop, all centered around the original barn built in 1910. We only visited the barn with the bakery goodies and the very friendly staff who helped us get some delicious snacks for the trip back to the hotel. It was great! Even if you don't plan to buy anything, it's worth taking some time to visit to get a snack for your trip or, if you are going to walk around the site, for the extra visit. We found it to be one of the more enjoyable stops to the area capping off a great visit to the Springfield, Ill area.
