Message from our owner:

Hi! I'm Lisa Busch, the owner of 1 Stop Bead Shop. 7 years ago I was making jewelry and selling it at local craft shows and guiding make-it-and-take-it jewelry parties in local area homes. I became frustrated when beads that I used regularly in my designs and kits were not consistently available or even carried at all in my local bead store. That's where the idea for 1 Stop Bead Shop formed - a shop where a beader could get EVERYTHING she or he needed. I've since discovered that's a pretty tall order - there are "gajillions" of beads! But, I keep ordering, and the store keeps growing.

We started with what we thought was a pretty large selection of the primary product lines - tools, books, semi-precious, Swarovski, Japaneese seed beads, Silver and gold filled beads, findings, and wire, Czech glass, lampwork glass, etc. And, we're pleased that after 4 1/2 years our inventory is now 5 times larger, adding many new lines, and expanding all of the existing ones.

My degree is in education, and I was already teaching beading, so it was natural to start teaching at the store. Beadweaving is my passion, but there are so many techniques for making jewelry. I knew I couldn't teach them all - I have a lot of energy, but not that much - so I went in search of other beaders who shared my passion for passing on their knowledge to others. Little did we imagine that 4 1/2 years later 1 Stop Bead Shop would have 26 instructors teaching nearly 100 classes a quarter! Your enthusiam for new and greater challenges continues to motivate us to bring you more exciting classes each quarter.

I also knew I wanted a really friendly, fun store. I envisioned the "Cheers of beading - a place where everybody knows your name!" We set up tables in the store, to encourage you to "Come Sit and Bead with Us!" And by golly, you did. We started a girl's night out called Club Bead, where I have watched friendships form and grow around our common love of beading. It's been a real blessing to watch my vision become a reality as we have created not just a store, but a community of beaders.

Whether you are new to beading or it's your claim to fame, we invite you to pull up a chair and start beading. You can take a class, plan a girl's night out or host your child's next birthday celebration in our private party room.

Come sit and bead with us and see what we're all about!
