Hello all, My wife has just started beading recently and we have been to almost every bead store from South Jersey to Philadelpia (living in South East PA). Can you help us with your favorite places to buy supplies. We do have a retail tax ID since we also make candles.
I do have a lot of sites I have checked from surfing; but I figure what better way to find the best then come to the experts. Thank You, Kevin & Dawn
Check the back of beading magazines for ads - - you'll find both retail and wholesale companies.
Offhand, I can think of a few online places:
HTH! Susan in VA

It all depends on what types of beads you are looking to purchase. I use different suppliers for different things.
Need quality, >Hello all,
I like Halsteadbead.com You need to buy 100.00, but they have good prices
Welcome!!
I do most of my supply shopping online, however I sell the best bead storage boxes in the world!! As soon as I found these, after months of searching, I knew I found the PERFECT ones!! They feel good, they look good, they store a ton of beads, and there is virtually no possible way of the beads getting intermixed. These boxes pack a lot of punch! If you'd like to see them visit my ebay store at
Let me post that web address again! Sorry if you tried to connect to it!
Mother of pearl is too light to be a "heavy" bead.
