The building is huge and they had tons of classes and items to paint separately. There were quite a few people signed up for the class and they had a few teachers helping out. We were given an overview and an example of what we needed to do and we were off. The class included one of our creations to be glazed and colored. It was such a fun class and the 2.5 hours went very quick! Awesome thing to do and super fun!

I had to go get some last minute supplies for a class (despite not wanting to step FOOT in this store after my last experience) and she yelled at me and my boyfriend for us asking if there was an item in stock.

Why did it take me so long to finally decide to stop by the new location? I always told myself I was too busy. But yesterday I finally told myself, "Just for a little while." Glad I did! The owner is friendly. Oh, I wish my memory were better. I think her name is Arlene. Please forgive me if I got it wrong. I told her that I'm mainly into quilting. She said that a lot of crazy quilters come to her for beads. Crazy quilting uses a lot of embroidery and embellishments such as beads and charms, with the patterns of the fabric providing background interest. She told me that I could bring my bracelet repair project and work on it there, to get advice, because she knows so much more about beading than I do, and also in case I just need a few beads to finish. I'm gonna do that. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bead-Alley-Saline-MI/164092560298590

Now they've expanded in there and they've filled the space with even more beautifully curated goodies, new and "found." There's a bit of everything in here, perfect for finding a gift for a friend, family, or a partner, or a little goodie for yourself. They've got beautiful art prints from independent artists, handmade ceramics, plus stationery, a bangin' candle section, lovely housewares and textiles like throws, pillows, and tea towels, plus jewelry, the list goes on and on. Plus when you shop here you're really shopping small, because most of what they carry falls into that category. If you go to their website you can take a look at a list of the artists they carry in store, and I love recognizing names of friends and people I admire in their respective fields. It's a delight digging through all their offerings and I highly recommend you get there soon to do it yourself!
