I just finished reading some of the reviews from a couple of years ago and thought that I should do an update! This shop has a new owner and is bringing in lots of new beads, kits and classes. I have been shopping at Bead World for a few years now and can't say enough positive things about this place. I am a firm believer in supporting local independent shops and this shop is worthy of your support. I just got off the phone with a sales person, she walked back to find what I needed, set it aside and looks forward to me picking my items up!
