Bead Bazaar

HUGE assortment of beads! I was amazed and the variety available. A first timer at making jewelry, this was the perfect place to make my first stop. Pick up everything you need in one place with knowledgeable staff! Great prices on everything I looked at. This store is long and narrow and got somewhat crowded while I was in there. Along with beads, they also have several varieties or cords, strings, clasps, etc. Most are on isolated sectional stands that you just pick through to get what you want (I wouldn't be surprised if they have a lot of theft...unfortunately). The higher priced "jewels"/beads are behind glass cases ~ I didn't hav e a long wait at all too see items behind the glass. Parking is on the street and was very difficult to find in the summer.

PROS: price, variety
CONS: parking, wouldn't bring kids in due to amoutn of tiny free-displayed items
