A moderate sized, cozy shop with a friendly and charming owner.  This store specializes in gemstone beads, very fairly priced, and glass beads.  Other kinds of beads and findings are also available.  The owner is a grandmotherly woman who is a walking encyclopedia of gemstone knowledge. Her assistant is a cuddly dog who keeps an eye of every customer.
