Side Street Beads

I've visited Side Street Beads several times now and the owner/operator is consistantly friendly and knowledgeable without being a "pushy salesperson". The store has exotic and rare beads that I have not seen at Hobby Lobby or Michael's craft stores - without the exotic... price tag. The prices at Side Street Beads were actually lower in most cases than the other retail stores, and the beads were sold individually in bins so that you could choose the number you wanted instead of buying them in strands like at other retail stores. Beading classes are also held there, and on one of my visits there were 2 "tween" girls choosing beads for their class and the owner was making suggestions and giving guidance. This is a fun store for all beaders regardless of skill level. You will be pleasantly surprised at the variety and value in this little shop. Read More
