This bead store is heaven for the experianced beader. they have unique beads that are hard to locate anywhere else... the problem is you can only afford one or two of each bead due to the high prices. The thing i really love about this store is that they let you make pieces while you wait. you can make anything you want , however today i made a bracelet on a whim and it ended up costing me 90 dollars. However its unique and special so you decide is it worth it? maybe for a few visits a yr or for that special element to complete an ordinary piece and make it special. Just a fun place to look around. one of my favs...

I just bought about 5 gifts for friends as thank yous for being in my wedding. I found amazing and beautiful things - and was able to find very different kinds of things for very different personalities. I was able to find things that were MUCH CHEAPER than a store just up the street - UTOWA, which is incredible too but very over priced, BOP has the same or similar items for a fraction of the price. I am VERY PLEASED with my purchases - everything from earrings for $58 to hand carved wooden salad servers for $18. KUDOS BEADS!!!

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
