I can only order online because the shop is too far away. Customer service is brilliant, staff are always friendly. The range of products is great. I subscribe to the monthly bead box which gives you surprise projects and always comes with a free gift of extra beads or findings.

There is an amazing amount of beads, crystals, findings, cords and so much more! More than you could ever wish for, you really do feel like a kid in a sweet shop! The staff are great, knowledgeable and very helpful. I did notice that classes were held in the shop and there is also a craft shop too - perfect combination!
