My biggest issue with Beads and Beyond is how easy it is to spend a LOT of money - there's so much that's worth buying, it's tough to keep my purchases to a reasonable amount. While I prefer to get my findings elsewhere in bulk a little less expensively, they have here a fairly complete selection, which is great if I just want to make a single stop or need anything last-minute.
They also offer some fabulous classes - far more than I really have time to take but it's nice to know they're there. When I have attended classes, I've learned some terrific new techniques and had plenty of time too to work on projects using my new skills. The instructors are knowledgeable and can quite regularly offer important information you didn't even know you wanted but that makes a huge difference anyway in your approach to beadwork.
