Beadworks Boston!

I've been meaning to update this for a while since it's now been over a week since I went to Beadworks. I happened to be on Newbury Street and when we walked by, I just had to take a look. There are a lot of reasons to like this store: good selection of basic beads, well organized, apparently friendly and knowledgeable staff. Unfortunately, their selection of stone and semi-precious beads is fairly limited and the prices are on the high side. The beads were beautiful - there was a strand of faceted Russian Amazonite that I coveted - but I just didn't feel I could justify buying them, especially not right now since I haven't sold much recently.

I haven't been to Beadworks' other locations (one in Cambridge and one in Salem), but for some special and pretty beads, they do have some interesting choices, especially if you aren't concerned about price.

I love your color combinations of coral-pink and soft green, very sweet.

How great for you to have a bead store to go to. I'm in Northwest NJ and the one and only beadstore in the area closed last year. WHAAA! The next closest is about an hour away. By the way I love the earrings in the previous post.
