Chameleon Cache

I discovered beading and the beauty of beads about 10 years ago and in that time not only have I beaded several intricate projects, but I think I have visited every beading store in a hundred mile radius in search of beads and all accouterments to indulge my love of beads! This store located on 5th Street in Coralville, is not only easily located, but has convenient parking as well. YOU know, in this day and age of mega malls and having to park in the next county...there is definitely something to be said about parking right in from of a store with a short walk to the front door! Although some of the items offered for sale in this store are a bit on the expensive side, when you think about the fact that many of the items cannot be found elsewhere, the price somewhat becomes irrelevant in the light of the situation. If you have a love of beads and beading decor in general, then this is the place for you….it has many wonderful items for sale and the selection changes often so stop in on a regular basis……I know you won’t be sorry! more

OK, I am a bead-a-holic and I am in complete control of my habit....NOT! I have this seventh sense that causes me to find beading stores anywhere they might exist and search out the most wonderfully unique beads for my creations. When I found this store I was thrilled, another place to frequent on my quest for "the perfect bead". i was impressed with this store.....it has a nice array of colors, types, and varieties of beads not to mention sizes from the tinest beads imaginable, to ones that are surely meant for King Kong! I'm only kidding folks....the beads are neat here and you won't go wrong checking this place out! If you are like me, in search of the perfecting beading sanctuary, travel on down to Coralville and check this place out....I promise you won't be sorry! Oh, and bring your Visa, you're gonna find A LOT of beads here you have to have! more

Great selection of beads and beading supplies in a new "strip mall" type building. Very spacious and clean. Everything is very organized and easy to find. Wide selection of beads and crystals. Will custom order beads if needed. Workshops are held to teach techniques. Knowledgeable owner (who is almost always there). Great new store! more

I stumbled across this store while visiting a different store in this area. Upon entering this store you get the feeling of being in a jewelry store. Looks very elegant with the lighting kinda of low and spot likes. The beads are loose in bowls and hanging in hanks. If you do not see something you want, the employees are very helpful. more

LOTS of beads! Great selection. The fiber optic are a better price by the strand than anyone in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area. Hanks of seed beads in odd colors. Very quite atmosphere. Not very kid friendly with the glass tabletops. But great eye candy for the adults. Located in the corner and no entrance from 5th Avenue in Coralville. Must park on the south side of the building to enter. more
