Trade Winds Beads

My in-laws live in Benton Harbor and we're a military family so we move a lot and have limited vacations. Whenever we get up for a visit, Trade Wind Beads is my "Must Stop" for the whole trip. I've stopped in every time I've been to MI since I started making jewelry in 2008. The prices are reasonable, although not all items are the best price available. If you're like me and prefer to see and touch everything before you buy it and love a helpful, friendly staff then you "Must Stop" at Trade Wind Beads.

This is, quite simply an astonishing bead store, chock full of wonderful beadstuffs. It's right on Watervleit's main drag, simple to find, and well worth the trip, if you're a Michigander, or the side-trip, if you're a beading Chicagoan traveling up the coast to Saugatuck or parts north. Count on spending an hour or more exploring; there's that much to choose from. Check it out!!!

Incredible selection of everything a beader needs or yearns for. Very friendly and helpful staff. And Watervilet is a neat, little town with great restaurants. Get in the car, bear the $ 4 gas and have a enjoyable Saturday.
