Thanks for looking into
the bead chick!
Our store is easily found on "the entrance corridor" to St. Augustine, on Florida State Route A-1-A (also known as San Marco Avenue), just
three blocks north of Ripley's Believe It Or Not in historic St. Augustine. There is easy parking available on our intersecting street - Cincinnati Avenue - and many other interesting shops all within walking distance. We are a destination!
the bead chick is a teaching bead store. We love to teach beginners how to make their first necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings, and all during business hours. We are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
We are closed on Sunday and Monday.
After hours, we offer special classes on more advanced techniques or special projects, on Tuesday and Thursday nights. We will schedule a birthday party, or just "girls night out" party after hours - call for more information. If you are vacationing in the area and left your tools at home, come in on a rainy day and use ours... we have lots of items unique to this area to help you create a special souvenir from your trip.
We stock hundreds of strands of gemstones, vintage glass,
Czech firepolish, and pearls...plus hundreds of Swarovski crystals, horn, bone, coral, ceramic, sterling...beads from all over the world! We have sterling and gold filled findings, wire and chain. We also carry "Cold shop silver-smithing" supplies (bench blocks, planishing hammers, etc.) and we're adding to our seed bead stock every week.
We feature lampwork beads by
Cracker Cottage Studio, the Bead Chef and Lost Marbles, and other unique handmade beads in various media.
Shop late with us on the last Saturday of every month
when we enjoy
Uptown
Saturday Night. All merchants in our area stay open until 9 pm, with
special events, food, entertainment, featured artists, etc. Look for
our ads in the Compass on Fridays!
We look forward to seeing you - come in soon!
