1511 Sherman ave Evanston IL.

Ayla Pizzo is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.

(As I used to work (play?) there I might be a bit biased)

Her shop is a treasure trove of New beads, old beads, seed beads, findings, chain, and giggles. If you need freshwater pearls of any sort Ayla’s is the place to go.

Out on a whim

seed beads in tons of colors, and finishes. Glass flower beads, tea cup beads, and all sorts of tools, ( love the bead board), findings, and other assorted goodies.

Fire mountain

huge catalog. Excellent mail order service
