For those of you who bead, may I ask where you get your supplies online? I like Fire Mountain Gems but their shipping and handling charge is just way too much and there aren't any good beading stores around here. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thank you!!

sorry Charmaine, I buy locally since we have tons of stores around.

I am not Jennifer but she lives in Northern Cali.

What about Ebay?

Artbeads has free shipping with no minimum purchase.

You are? If I recall she is somewhere near Sacramento?

About two hours or so. But I live like 20 minutes near SF and have tons of bead stores near me. There are also a lot of stores in SF.

I love beading. I usually get my supplies at Wal-Mart but try a normal beadstore only. Micheals might have some online..HTH!

Ebay, a local craft store that has some beading stuff and a few places online which prob won't be much use to you since they are UK sites.

My favorite online store is artbeads. Other than that I purchase beading supplies from a shop near me.
