hi, Beading is probably seen as a primarily female pastime, so what am I doing getting so involved with it? Easy! I have Multiple Sclerosis which affects, among other things, my eyesight and fine motor skills. On a recent holiday in Prague, home of many wonderful bead designs, my wife and I strolled into a bead shop, and it was like walking into a rainbow! I immediately saw the possibilities, and decided to try it as a hobby. OK, it's not very "Butch", but who cares? I love it! It's ceatively satisfying and VERY therapeutic. I've bought beads from quite a few sources since then, but the range and quality of your produce is second to none. Couple that with the very excellent service you guys provide, and everyone's a winner! I now buy almost exclusively through your website, and sing your praises with the fervour of a true convert. Great stuff...keep up the good work. I only wish I could visit your shops in person. Maybe someday, M.S. permitting, that is!
Hi, I am just compiling my third order from your wonderful site and have come across "your history", it has brought tears to my eyes. What you have come through and what you have achieved, your wife is no doubt beaming with pride as she looks down on her family. You are an inspiration. Well done. Best get back to that order now. Kindest regards Bettina Astbury-Jones
Hello, I have just read your history and have been in tears reading about you. You have written your history so lovingly. I lost my mum to cancer 3 years ago when i was 29 years of age, so i can understand how it can affect everyone in the family. I am still grieving and dont know when it will get easier, who knows, but i wanted to write to tell you that i have decided to make jewellery to help me think of other things and i made my first internet order with you today. I am really looking forward to receiving my goods so i can start being creative. I wish you so much luck and success....you deserve it. Kind regards, Alexandra Howes
Hi there, I am just writing to say how grateful my friends and I are for your speedy delivery of our letter beads. We wanted bracelets as parting gifts to each other as we have lived together for a year and now are parting to go off all over the world. The bracelets were intended as a suprise by me and my other first-year dormate, to our second years. Next year they will be in Indonesia and Switzerland, their home countries. We wanted bracelets with our 4 names on. A local business agreed to make them for us but then let us down at the last minute. We were so upset because we'd set our heart on having these-we didn't have a back up plan. Then my Dad found your website and I've been told, by him, all the effort you put in to find the necessary letters and get them to us in time. Thank you so much! You really saved the day. It was just as we had wanted, being able to give our second years their bracelets just before we left. It really felt like you were actively trying to help us and you suceeded. Thank you!

| To the team at The Bead Shop,
Thank you for your prompt dispatch of my first order from your on-line shop (invoice 5905), which has just arrived safely today (Wednesday) after placing my order on Monday afternoon. I was only introduced to beading last week by a couple of friends, so I'm very excited by all the neat little packages of basic findings. I am pleased with your friendly and efficient service and will be placing my future orders with you (though these will keep me going for a while). I've also sent your website address to another friend who is also beginning to make beaded jewellery.
With thanks and best wishes,
Joanna Watson (Dr)
