Bead & Gift Shoppe
a jewelry designer's utopia.
We are located at 37 Main St. Ayer, MA., in the historic brick Moore building. (978) 772-7750 . Look for the aqua "BEADS" flag!!
We will be closing at 5:00 on Wednesdays instead of 7:00 for July & August. Unfortunately, it is not cost effective for us to be open late. We are hoping to return our "late" night in September. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.
We now have "Open Studio" time during store hours. Every day, all day! Please feel free to bring your projects in and use our large wood table in the center of the store. When you are surrounded by the yummies the ideas start to flow! Share ideas, make new friends or have an afternoon out with old friends beading! Complimentary tool usage is available. Please inquire at the checkout.
We have been doing some inventory and alot of shopping. Lots of new and exciting kits are working their way onto the wall. P.S. It would be a great idea to sign up on our electronic email. If we have a closing or urgent posting you will receive an email saving you time and effort. Just a thought!
Classes are not posted for the summer months. We must have 3 or more students to run a class. It has been our experience in the past, that the classes do not fill during the warm weather. Any new class ideas are always welcome. If there is something that you missed or are interested in learning, let us know. If you have a group of 3 or more, we can schedule a class for you! If you have a request for a specific class please send me an email so that we can work it into our new fall 2010 schedule.
We do require that you purchase your materials for the class from Vintage-Vogue.
New to the site?
We are a full service bead shoppe. By full service, I mean we offer a wide variety of beading products that you can instantly see and feel the quality, a self serve work station for our patrons to use (tools not included), and lot's of technical support. You can't get that on-line! Trust me, I've tried talking to my computer-it doesn't answer any of my questions! If you are in search of any of these human like qualities, drop by and see us. Support your local Bead Shoppes before they become a thing of the past! The big guy that's filling your order while eating a sub in his boxers, doesn't care about your mother's pearls. We do!
Welcome!
Welcome to our shoppe! Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned beader I promise you that there will be something that peaks your interest! We constantly have new stock arriving every week and keep up with the latest product trends,(because I can't stop buying shiny things:). Keep reading please. Eventually, you will get to the pretty pictures about half way down the page.
If you don't see it, just ask. I'm pretty sure we have it squirreled away in a secret stash somewhere! We truly have a dashel, (yes, that is a real word) of everything. If we don't carry an item you are seeking, I will personally hunt it down and find it for you. I love the thrill of the hunt. That's the coolest part of this job. There are so many items in the store I can't even begin to list them!
Interested in classes? Check the class page for more info. There are some project pictures on the website. Don't go by the picture. If you are interested in the technique, but think the project is atrocious, you do not have to make it! Learn the technique and do your own thing! We are not that uptight here people. We have soooo many kit flavors and different versions of the projects shown that you won't be able to choose just one! New kits are added weekly. They are hot & going fast. Supplies are limited.
Have I mentioned my new obsession....BUTTONS....They are little drops of happiness! I just sit and separate, sort & sigh...ahhhhh. Wait till you see some of these "lovelets". We have a few new designs & kits on display at the store. The buttons themselves are very limited. We only receive 3-10 of each button design. There are several smexie (thanks Carolyn for the word!) designs to choose from!
