Considering the positive response I got from my pictures of the Paris' bead shop, I thought I'd post some pictures of my favourite Dutch Bead shop. It is the 'Beadbrothers' in Alkmaar, rarely seen on this forum under the name of Mcbead.

They specialize in ancient Indonesian made beads, and newly made Indonesian glass and silver beads. Their shop is filled with beads that are very rare, great replica's of Venetian and other beads and a little bit of every other type of bead.
