Visit this shop! I used to live in the neighborhood and this was the first bead store I ever visited. I got hooked immediately. But I thought all stores were pretty much equal. Then I learned. Bodacious Beads has a full supply, helpful beaders working there, and the best prices. My only wish would be for hours on Sundays.

This is a great bead shop. It is a little out of the way, but I consistently find unusual beads that set my jewelry apart. She gets in new product all the time, so you are not always waiting for the shop to get the shipment from their latest big show. I wish she had more of a discount for the professional retailer (10% if anyone buys above $100.00), But the quality and variety will keep me coming back. Everyone there is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Take the drive and enjoy.
