If you prefer to make gifts for friends and family rather than purchase something from a department store, you’ve probably already started planning what you want to create this holiday season. For those whose specialty is beading, make sure to check out the Bead Gallery in Mira Mesa, CA. Here, you will find a large selection of beads, findings, tools, books, and other supplies to help you complete any project.
If you want to start beading, but don’t know where to start, the Bead Gallery offers a wide variety of classes for all skill levels. There are classes on the basics, chain making, bead weaving, and more. Just check out the calendar to find a class which interests you, and sign up. For those who want to visit the store and try out a class, the Bead Gallery offers a free bracelet making class; all you have to do is purchase your materials from the store on the day of the class. Those who are interested can call the store to find out when the next class is and reserve a spot.
Established in 2002, the Bead Gallery is a full service bead shop which is locally owned and family operated. The first location in Mira Mesa was a hit with the community, so in January 2014, the owners expanded and opened a second location in Bonsall. Between the two locations, it is convenient for almost everyone in San Diego County to visit the Bead Gallery.
If you make jewelry at the Bead Gallery which you would like to send to an out-of-town friend, head over to the PostalAnnex in Mira Mesa where the friendly professionals can package and ship your costumes. They can even compare shipping rates between UPS shipping and FedEx to help you find the best rate and service for you.
With 88% of the private companies in the U.S. employing 19 or fewer employees (Source: U.S. SBA), we at PostalAnnex believe local businesses are vital to the health of the U.S. economy. Therefore, PostalAnnex is pleased to feature The Bead Gallery as our Featured Local Neighborhood Business and encourages locals to buy from local businesses.
