Peta Pledger visits Boutique Beads

A part of my 30 items in 30 days challenge, I made this 'Buffy' dress, using 100% Cotton Hawaiian Barkcloth.

The dress is on display and for sale at Boutique Beads, 179 St Georges Road in North Fitzroy (tel: +61 3 9482 4021).

Angela and the team at Boutique Beads carry an eye popping range of genuine Vintage Lucite beads and cabachons imported from the USA. They also carry felt beads, glass beads and a large range of jewellery making tools and findings.

The shop has a warm feel to it and unlike many bead supply stores, is child-friendly.

Angela runs jewellery making classes and also offers a special custom order service.

Next time you are in North Fitzroy, make a trip to this store as I assure you, you won't want to leave empty handed.
