7 Market Street Nottingham is a beautiful Victorian shop and has been The Bead Shop’s home for the last 14 years. I fell in love with it when we first looked around it in 2005 and have been fascinated by its history ever since. I knew it had always been in the care of various independent shops but had never quite been able to piece together all of its history.
Hi Steffie here!
One of the things I love about my job here at The Bead Shop is when new books come into the shop. I get a chance to review them before putting them online and on the shelves for sale. I love flicking through our book collection and finding inspiration.
It’s In Nottingham’s Independents Festival takes place each June and is a fantastic way of shining a spotlight on all of the great independent businesses in Nottingham.
As soon as I saw the new Preciosa shaped bead mixes I knew I’d have fun playing with all the different beads. I felt fairly sure several members of bead group would also like to have a play!
Here at The Bead Shop we love helping customer realise their designs and it’s wonderful when we get to see the final results. Which has lead us to create a new series of blogs posts introducing you to some of the talented makers who frequent The Bead Shop.
We’re holding a Paw-some tea party at The Bead Shop in our light and airy workshop room along with a bead social on Saturday 3rd June 2pm – 5pm – we do hope you can join us!
Hello! My name is Alex. Since I’m the newest member of The Bead Shop and I’ve always been interested and supportive of independent businesses, I wanted to start the new and updated blog with a post about the history of the bead shop and how I ended up working here.
