| - My wife has been a regular customer of Raincharmer for many years since we stumbled across them at the old Indoor Swapmart on 19th Ave near Camelback. She followed them to their various locations at other swap meets across the West Valley. And now they've had their very own storefront for just over a year and, yeah, I'm a regular there, too. You'll find us beading, learning, teaching, socializing, and enjoying the day there most Saturdays along with other regular customers, new customers, and Linda and Carol who run the place and set the tone for the inviting, casual atmosphere.
In addition to offering a large variety of beads, beading supplies, wires, findings, and completed jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, and more), they offer drop-in classes. That's right. No appointments or set times. If they've made a piece you're interested in learning how to make, stop in, purchase your materials, and they'll guide you through the design from start to finish for free. The exception is for wire wrapping classes. Because of the materials involved, there is a $10 fee for that.
Come for the jewelry or the beading, stay for the friendships and a few laughs along the way.
