This wasn't the largest bead shop, by any means, but it seemed to have a complete selection of beads and findings. The big ones in New York City are something to behold. And yes, you can leave with a little pouch of stuff that costs a lot of money!

They offer classes, so I'll pick take one of the beginner sessions and ask more of my questions there. I think I'm set to make a few samples with some of the plastic and glass beads left over from kid projects over the years. It's reassuring to have a human with hands-on experience right there to answer the question or see what it is you were trying to describe to ask about.
