Re: Bead Making -- njstark | Post Reply | Edit | Forum | Where am I? |
The vast collection of antique beads and strands and artifacts gave me the feeling of walking through a museum. I dislike superlatives, but this store is really exquisite.
The owners, Nora and Michelle, were a little wary at first. They didn't know me and I was asking a lot of questions. I practiced my best customer-manners, never touching without first asking, but couldn't seem to get them comfortable. Next time I'll remember to introduce myself and point out that I am strictly a collector, not a trader or competitor.
I want to take more photos, but don't want to push my luck. I am careful to ask permission before posting these photos on the Forum.
Finally I make my purchases, then everyone relaxes.
