Welcome!

Welcome to our first blog!

Country Beads first opened its doors in 1994 in Kitsilano, Vancouver's artsy beachside neighborhood filled with a mix of independant retailers. Our shop is hopping with beaders every day, browsing our ever growing selection, getting inspired and learning from our experienced staff members. 

You are welcome to come by any day and see what's new, have a visit or sit at our table to bead at your own pace. Many of our customers have become dear friends over the past 19 years and we can't wait to get to know more of you through this blog. It is always wonderful to see people flourish through their own creativity and to see the creations our beads end up in!

So please, come along for the ride should you feel so inclined....we're excited to share our knowledge, experiences and interestes with you!
