| I occassionally like to do a search online to see if any new bead/gem shops have opened up near me or near any arts/crafts shows I might be about to do. This is a great site! You must love what you're doing to put the time it must take into it. THANK YOU!!! |

| I absolutely love your website. It is very helpful, especially while traveling. I googled 'bead store locator' to find you and you came up first. I especially like the store descirptions. The addresses really help now that I have a GPS navigation system. Again, Thanks for all you work keeping this up. |

| THANK YOU!!! This is the website I was looking for...living in a large city, I realized that there were probably many bead suppliers near by. I searched the internet and found your site. My friend and I create beaded jewelry, we like it to be unique, and I like lots of sparkle. I have been to several of the stores you list, and have been very impressed. Each time I head out to a new store, I am overcome with excitement and anticipation, sure that some special treasure will be found. |

| I find you with google: "bead stores north carolina" or whichever state I'm visiting. I use your site every time I go on vacation to find the bead stores in the area. I try and pick up some unique beads and make something to remember each vacation by. I've visited stores found on your site in Indianapolis, IN Freeport, ME, Kitty Hawk, NC and probably a few more! Thank you for your site!! |

| Greg, Thank you for this website. I decided to try to find some bead stores locally that I could visit and get a handle on what exactly I need to start beading. Your website was most helpful and I now have an action plan to visit several stores in my area. Thanks again. |

| I just wanted to say thank you for creating this web site. I have been looking for bead stores for a while now and I came across your site and it guided me in the right direction for a great store.

| Thank you, thank you, thank you! On cable crafting shows, I've been hearing the words, "...and you can get this at your craft store, or your local bead store." Well, I didn't know there were any bead stores in the world, and I've been looking around for some, and didn't come across any. I also tried yellowpages.com, but since one has to enter a town, there wasn't much luck, there, either. Today I hit on the brilliant idea to try google, and there you were, and you've opened up a whole new world to me. I am eternally grateful! |

| Thank you so much for your web site. Soooooooooo much information, but, done very well. It was exactly what I needed. Thanks again for making my search easy. I contacted one of the stores on your web site today and purchased what I needed. I will be taking a class next week. I have completed my first project, because of finding information on your site. I love what what I have found there. Who knows you may be including my business someday - on your site. Thanks again. |

| I like your admonition at the top to call before you drive as you are the last to know! Good thing, because a store I visited now closes at 6 pm instead of 7 pm. Thought you'd like to know! (ALWAYS!) Thanks for your thoughtful and excellent work! It's a great site! |

| This is a wonderful listing of shops to find beads and things. I personally thank you for doing it. I am an avid beader and have been looking for a shop to purchase specific beads and things and haven't been able to find one in my area until now, so I am very grateful for this information. |

| Just want to let you know that I travel a lot in my day job and always look up the bead stores in the state I'm going to be in. I've been to many wonderful places. It makes the trips fun if I can hit a new bead shop. As my sister says, "even a bad bead shop will have something you want." Thanks. |

| I just wanted to let you know that this site was very helpful indeed! I live in Alabama and our only good bead shop closed suddenly. I looked through bead magazine listings and found only far away stores. I found your website through a google search and noticed that there 'are' bead shops easier for me to get to. Thank you for having these shops listed (with links!) I feel relieved to know I can finally get my supplies now without driving for several hours! Thank you again! |

| I think you have done a wonderful job helping others like myself explore the wonderful joy of beading and I for one am very glad of all the hard work and time you have put into helping spread the craft. I think you have done a wonderful job helping others like myself explore the wonderful joy of beading and I for one am very glad of all the hard work and time you have put into helping spread the craft. I'm sure there are alot of beaders in Hawaii who would find your page informational. I plan to share the information I have found through your site with my fellow beaders here in Hawaii. Your site is in my favorite places folder and I plan to visit often. |
When this was written, there were only about 100 stores in the list and they were all in Washington, Oregon and California where the first printed edition of Guide To Beadwork was marketed. --greg
