You’ve heard of Speed-dating? Well, get ready for Speed-Beading!

Are you interested in new art or beadwork techniques but you’re not quite ready to invest in all the tools and supplies? Looking for a quick starter session just to see if it will grab your interest? Then this is the perfect place for you!

This is a hands-on, fast paced event to give you a little taste of various beadwork styles. It’s a great date night for partners, new couples, friends, or anyone looking for one of those with a shared interest. Who knows what could happen?! Snacks, wine, education, world class artwork, artists, and as always, free parking. That’s a pretty great combination for a date night!

See you February 6th at 5pm!

This has been quite a year! Closing The Beaded Bungalow’s retail location in the spring, brought mixed feelings. The memories over the 28 year period were full and so treasured. We thank all our customers who loved our shop! We’ll miss all of your faces. We also appreciate all the different ones who worked there over the years, it was a special crew! We also want to express our gratitude to our daughter, Jessica, who was the catalyst of the business. And our teachers, Julia Cole, Kate Payne, and many more!

Then this last October, we sold the Stained Glass building where we held many of our classes. Mr. Phil had a lot stored in there, but it’s all been rescued and there are lots of beads housed now at our home.
Beads are something you get attached to. You remember the face of the person you bought them from who were from another country. Very Special. Eventually, after taking a much needed break, we will probably sell on line. We literally still have enough beads to open an entire shop!! So Phil still meets by appointment at 615-540-4488, If you’re on the hunt for something special. Who knows you might see Phil on a utube video sharing his knowledge and expertise just because he loves it so.

Walking away is hard, but right now, we are officially retired!
