Polka Dots Bead-A-Full Boutique

Fun little shop. I’ve found several unique beads and findings inside. The owners are very friendly and always have a warm smile. I am disappointed at how packed the place is. Though the layout of the store is cute, as well as everything inside it, it is very difficult to move around without fear of knocking over large tables and scattering beads everywhere. Last time I was in there, they were advertising have a little girls party with them. But from what is gathered and heard, the kids didn’t make their own jewelry, they just picked out what they wanted and the owners put it together. Kind of boring but they don’t really have the room for much else. Hopefully one of these days they can expand.

This shop is a great stop not only to take the kids but for adults too! I go here every time I come to Michigan (twice a year). My niece has a great time. She loves all the unique handmade beads they have. My sister-​n-​law is the talented one. She sticks with the silver beads. Her bracelets are designer worthy. Who knew you could walk out of there with such a classy bracelet. I try to follow her lead.
Overall the place is a fun place to hang and the owner is very helpful if you need help making your jewelry.

This is an absolutely adorable store. Everything is so well-​marketed and placed. I stopped in with my former boss and surrogate East Lansing mother (for lack of a better phrase), who is a bead fanatic and told me, in the most expressive way, that Polka Dots is the ONLY good bead store in the area. She did not lie. The selection of beads, and potential finished products, is so extensive. My boss made two pens, purchased a bracelet, and I spent at least an hour browsing, making mental notes of things to buy on pay day.
