For those who have asked about where I purchase beads, here are the places I’ve been ordering and have been happy with all of them. These are listed in no order and I’m sure there are other places for ordering. Feel free to add places in the comments if you know of other places. All of these are in the U.S.
Fire Mountain Gems
Caravan Beads
Fox Den Beads
Aura Crystals
Art Beads
I like the lady at Fox Den Beads. She’s very accommodating and helpful. I would describe her as a bead broker of sorts. Her beads cost a little less and for the most part, they are shipped by Caravan Beads.
Caravan is very prompt with shipping and I like that they have the 1/2 pack sizes, which also can be ordered through Fox Den.
I have ordered from all four places (too often) and have always been 100% happy with service.

I bet you will like this site that I had bookmarked awhile back. Huge selection. This should keep you busy for hours. Happy hunting. BTW I like #4 too. Unless you find something better from this company.

Thanks! I have added them. You reminded me that I had a discount code from my previous order so I may have placed a small order with them! 🙂

And yet another rabbit hole for me to fall into:)
