I love the Bead Box! The selection of beads is amazing--they really have stuff I don't think you're going to find anywhere else. And, even better, there's a big work table well-stocked with tools, and the staff is very helpful. The first time I came in with this big old button I wanted to make into a ring, and someone helped me for about an hour until we got it just right--even though all I was buying from them, at the time, was wire. I've been back a bunch of times since to work on projects and made gorgeous stuff. Such a fun way to spend an afternoon. Totally recommended!!
Pros: amazing selection, tons of tools you can use, helpful staff
Cons: I wish I still lived nearby
