Located in a beautifully restored 1860’s building, the shop offers an amazing array of beads from around the world including a full line of Crystallized Swarovski elements, natural stones, freshwater pearls, Japanese seed beads, plus inspirational evening and weekend classes with some of the most renowned instructors in the country!   Choose from the latest beadwork books, magazines or free in-store handouts to help get you started.  Ask about our beading birthday parties for kids and jewelry making parties for groups of friends or family!

Named after a long line of Hannahs in the owner's family, nobody who works here is actually named Hannah, but we are all a little funky.  Stop in, you’ll be glad you did. Happy Beading!
