New Beads, Vintage Beads, Bead Facts and more at The Beadin’ Path

I love bead stores that are more than just stores that sell the ordinary collection of new beads. I like stores that have some “character” and sell all sorts of interesting materials and tools and beads that I’ve never seen before. I haven’t visited their store in person yet, but the website of The Beadin’ Path makes me want to take a trip to Maine next summer!

There’s no such thing as a quick visit to their website, either. First of all, they have a lot of funky beads at competitive prices. There are three ways you can shop: They have a “Shop For Beads” section which is broken out by logical categories and includes easy to see sharp photos of every bead they offer, they have a Bead Bargains section with all their sale items and they have a “What’s New” section with the latest additions to their shop. I love all the vintage beads they have dispersed throughout the site. I don’t usually see many “older” styled beads in the stores around me, though I love hitting yard sales in the spring for them.

Though I’m a bit far away to attend, they also offer in-store classes and sell some finished pieces from their site. But here’s the real fun: they have a bead blog with all sorts of great beading articles as well! A lot of their articles are about the history behind beads such as the history of the Swarvoski company and posts about vintage lucite and exotic beads.

Whether you’re visiting The Beadin Path in person (as I hope to one day) or just via their website, you’re sure find something beady and fun!
