"The Bead Lady is a great shop in downtown Concord that offers a great selection of beads, findings, pre made pieces and just about anything you desire to craft your favorite styles of jewelry or gifts! There is a space to sit and work (and people watch) if you like as well. Kathleen, the owner, is very friendly and helpful and always willing to make suggestions or help you find the perfect elements needed to complete your beadwork! \n\nMy most recent visit was during the Concord Art Walk this weekend and it was so nice to go in and browse (and purchase a few pieces of course!) in this well laid out space with SO many choices! The prices are comparable to other places I've shopped, but the selection and customer service and layout of the store keep me returning to the Bead Lady! I have often wandered in with a picture of a piece I'd like to create (either in my head or copied from a design book) and been so happy to find exactly what I need!\n\nI also found out on this trip that there is a ladie's night out scheduled on the first Thursdays of the month with the Bead Lady and the gift shop next door and will definitely have to check this sure to be fun event!"^^ .
