| - This is one of my all-time favorite places to waste time and money. The store is just fab-U-lous, dahling! The Beaderie has a very upscale boutique/gallery feel to it. The owner and others working the shop seem very knowledgeable about their craft, and will tell you all about the origins behind each of the special beads they carry. They are also very good about offering design advice if needed.
The Beaderie caries glass, seed, imported, hand-painted ceramic, crystal, semi-precious, and vintage (my fave) beads. Lots of them. Maybe not as many as other places, but the selection seems to have more variety and pizzazz than most.
I had to deduct a star because on the one occasion I brought my daughters-- hoping to pass on my inexplicable love of little colored glass objects to them-- the woman behind the counter was rude. She watched us like a hawk and acted as if they would break or steal something. Sheesh! But witchy clerk or not, I still love you, Beaderie!
