I have visited the store twice in the past week and I cannot say enough good things about it. What initially drew me in was reading a post on Facebook. When you first walk in, there is the most amazing wall of beads that is color coordinated...absolutely amazing! There are various hand made items from all over the world! I was most excited to see the back room full of crystals! So many gorgeous pieces! There was so much thought that went into the entire store. My friend and I happened to visit on a rare sunny day in February which just added to the experience. The back room was lit up and the sun was reflecting off all the pieces. Laura herself so helpful and her stories just further prove how much heart/passion she puts into her business. I am so glad I found such a “gem” right in my own backyard. Oh and the prices are so reasonable! I have been to other stores that are much more expensive. I cannot wait to go back!

I love this store! They have an enormous supply of unusual beads, crystals and gems along with a beautiful array of chains and findings. Although the store may seem small, walk to the back and you will find oils, incense, tapestries and even bags and wall hangings. Laura is very kind and so knowledgeable about the items in her shop!

I was looking for a place where to learn jewelry making and after looking for stores around my house, I found Laura Atwood’s place and fell in love with her and her studio. She has gemstones of the best quality and as you visit the different rooms in her store you discover the exquisite merchandise that she sells. The magic touch she has when teaching is unbelievable. What I admire the most in her, is her patience when teaching, and the craftsmanship displayed at the moment she designs her pieces. I find a variety of materials from all over the world at reasonable prices. I love this place!

Laura Atwood Studio Beads is absolutely awesome. I have been shopping and beading there since Laura opened her shop. Laura has everything you could possibly want to shop for - from beading and jewelry items, fabulous selection of clothes, and beautiful housewares from all over the country. She also has a wonderful selection of candles and bath products. You can find items and products for yourself or gift-giving. The setting in Lauras shop is very inviting. It is tranquil and I can literally spend hours browsing and shopping. Laura is very friendly and helpful. Her ideas for creating jewelry is amazing. I have learned a lot from her helpfulness. Kudos to you, Laura, for a wonderful addition to the community!

I did not like how they treated me, the owner never asked if I was looking for something, I told her that her store was very nice and she did not even thank me, I will definitely not return
