This bead store is awesome! I wish San Diego had a bead store like this one…read more My husband and I came here on vacation a while ago and bought a bunch of rad stuff.

If you will notice the picture it says that the store is opened for 51 minutes!!! The cashier did open the door and only smiled when I told her that we had just driven 5.5 hours to go to shop at Holly Yashi. She kept saying "I understand ". No she doesn't!! She didn't waste her time and $$ driving up to a store that was closed. She did say that they had just changed their social media...well you missed one.
