My first time at Interior Visions I stopped in after seeing the owner wave at another store owner…read morefrom across the street. It was a Sunday, things were slow, and as it turns out, these folks really do know everyone in Bellevue. You'll want to know them too, as they are genuinely friendly people who love what they do. Interior Visions is packed to the brim with decor and gifts for the home. And by packed, I mean I'm surprised the merchandise is not bursting out the door onto Fairfield Avenue! Inside, the shop contains one large main room, with small niche rooms sprouting off to the sides. Each room is themed, which makes it a cozy and unique shopping experience. Just some of what you can find here: - Soy candles - Kitchenware - Dishes - Antique glassware - Tea cups - Vases - Art for the wall - Garden decor - Cat and dog decor - Holiday antiques Interior Visions is the perfect place to shop for a gift for my mother and my best girlfriend in one stop. There are tons of things that catch the eye for a classy, one-of-a-kind present for folks of all ages. Everything is super affordable too; most of the items I looked at were under $10.00. The shop is a bit on the small side, as it is filled with so much merchandise. Be careful walking around, especially if you're with a group. Spaces can become crowded and its easy to knock something over. Also, be sure to visit the outdoor garden area in the back. There's even more stuff outside, mainly larger items to decorate flowerbeds and definitely worth a look. It's like a little slice of serenity in Bellevue.

I'm not an expert on beads or beaded jewelry, but if you are looking for a great bead shop then…read morelook no further than...THE Bead Shop. The Bead Shop has been in business for about 20 years, 18 of which have been spent at its present Camargo Road location in Madeira. There are just endless possibilities for beads and jewelry, or so people say (heck if I'd know). I went in the other day with my mother and she was almost overwhelmed with those "possibilities," as any beginning "beader" might be, but if you have more experience with beads you'd probably be more excited than overwhelmed. If you are looking to make jewelry--because I guess that's what girls like to do--then The Bead Shop has all you can want and more. As far as beads go, The Bead Shop has pearls, glass beads, silver, crystal, and stones. They come in strands of 16 beads, although for a while I thought they were necklaces. The Bead Shop has "everything you need to assemble your creations," from earrings to clasps to hemp cord, and even many beading books and magazines. Another cool thing I saw on the walls was Indonesian masks that are meant to be hung on the wall. I saw two different styles of "Comedy and Tragedy," as well as a rabbit and a human "Whisper" face. The masks generally sell for between $30 and $90 (perhaps the $90 was because of the two, Comedy and Tragedy together), but they were marked down 50-percent. Overall, The Bead Shop is a very neat store and they are also very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

As I was sitting this morning knitting, I got to thinking about how far I've come. I've been…read moreknitting for about 25 years and crocheting since I was 11 years old--my sister-in-law taught me how to crochet. For years, I stuck with the basics--blankets, scarves, and simple patterns. I would look at all the beautiful sweaters, socks, and tops, read through the patterns, and then skip right over them if I saw stitches like intarsia, short rows, or knit one below. Then it hit me--if you don't jump in and try new techniques, you're never going to make those beautiful things. I realized I was limiting myself by being afraid of what I didn't know. So I decided to go for it. I signed up for the sweater and sock class at Hank's, learning two new things at the same time--yep, I was like, "let's do this!" The support there has been amazing. The staff and other knitters are so encouraging. Even when I made the same mistake ten times, no one ever got frustrated--they were always there to help. And guess what... I DID IT! I made a hoodie for my son, and he loved it. Seeing how happy he was made me so proud--and now I need to make one for my other son! And if I need help, I know they'll be there with open arms. I have grown so much in my knitting because of the encouragement from Hank's staff and the community there. I've also made so many knitting friends through their events--especially Fiber Night, which they hold the last Friday of every month. It's so much fun, along with their trunk shows and just spending time in the shop knitting and talking. It means so much to have a place where you can go, be yourself, and be surrounded by people who love the same craft you do. The support and welcoming atmosphere at my local yarn store truly make all the difference. So if you're like me--skipping over beautiful patterns because of one "dreaded" stitch you think you can't do--jump. Take that next step. YOU CAN DO IT! And if I happen to be in the store when you're there, I promise I'll be your biggest cheerleader
