One of the larger stores in the area.  Cost Less Beads' selection covers every imaginable bead category, from glass and crystal to gemstones.  Nice selection of findings.  The selection appears to change often, too.

The shopkeeper is the "strong, silent" type, but if you have a question, he has the answer; very knowledgeable fellow!
