For over 30 years, Creative Castle has been encouraging beaders and jewelry makers of every level, providing a home and community within their inviting shop, chock-full of delights. They bring in renowned teachers for workshops and offer plenty of instructive lessons by their own talented and helpful staff. (Pictured are some vintage and contemporary pieces purchased there several years ago). Creative castle.com
A cottage shop that is enchanting inside and out, Ocean Sky Beads is filled with treasures everywhere you look - tables, walls, drawers and windows, where you can pore over their selection of new, old, fanciful and useful beads and supplies. Oceanskybeads.com
So many scrumptious choices on display at Brea Bead Works, and this is just a fraction of the beads and jewelry making supplies to be found here. They also offer a great selection of workshops and host many interesting trunk shows. Breabeadworks.com
