Emporium Beads

October 26, 2008

I missed a couple of days here, but with good reason! This past weekend was my annual “girls only” trip – meeting up with friends from all over the country to just relax and have fun.

We’re here in Bloomington, IN, home of the Hoosiers. On Saturday, we visited downtown Bloomington, stopping at Emporium Beads. Emporium has more than just beads – treasures from all over the world! I was seriously in love with some onyx goblets, but decided to hold off on them for now.

Emporium offers a nice selection of beads, both in strands and loose (single) bins. Basic tools, findings, and other supplies like wire and beading thread are also for sale. Prices are reasonable, and while I didn’t find anything I couldn’t live without, my friend Sara discovered some lovely glass AB beads in shades of purple, blues and bronzes that we turned into a pretty earring and necklace set.
