I was poking around through my boxes of beads this morning and decided that I needed to look for some new beads that I haven’t used or seen before. I went to my local beadshop only last week and wasn’t very inspired, so I started surfing around the internet and stumbled across a site that helps you find bead shops all over the world!

The is is called Guide to Beadwork and it has…are you ready for this?… a guide to beadstores all around the entire WORLD! This site is put together by a guy named Greg Vinson and he’s really done his homework. I’m not sure how he does it, but a worldwide guide to bead outlets is a heck of a lot of fun to search through!

Yes, the site is a little “busy” and the colors almost blinded me when I first saw it, but it’s a very, very useful guide to bead stores all over the world! He’s got the stores broken down by zip code and town, he has comments on store hours and even includes the phone numbers for most stores. Best of all, I found a great sounding store about an hour away from me that I’m hoping to visit sometime soon.
