Knowing that I am a jewelry fan and bead fan, someone got me a Beadlush gift certificate for my bday. I was thankful, even though it wasn't my favorite spot.  So I went to the popular shop in Plaza Midwood and walked in.  I was greeted with a growl from who I perceived to be the manager or owner. O-kay....\n\nSo I wander around the store looking for something to spend my card on and it took me about an hour to find anything I even kind of liked. Not for a lack of options, but I guess either it was a bit too granola-y ?? I even asked the lady for some inspiration or  \"what would go with this\" type of questions with not much help at all.  \n\nSo I left finally with some stuff I kind of liked. I made the necklace with the goods and in one wearing 4 beads had broken which I thought was a little indicative of the whole experience. When I go elsewhere perhaps my clasp will break because of operator error, but I usually never have bead issues. Oh well....
