I am a beader. I bead a lot. I buy a lot of beads. Lots. I use seed beads, stones, pearls, crystals, etc. I believe in supporting your local bead stores. I always find something to buy, because it’s supporting local. I walked into this store and didn’t find a thing. Nothing. Zilch. Take the longer(but not that much) drive to Ypsilanti(Stony Creek Bead) or Farmington(Pam’s Bead Garden) and find beads. I wish that I could find something here — it’s close to home, but the same amount of minutes to drive to Ypsilanti.

I happened to stumble upon Wicks and Stones during my last jaunt to downtown Wyandotte and I couldn’t have been more pleased! Let me put it to you this way if you were a chef would you prefer to shop at Williams Sonoma or Walmart? Of course, Williams Sonoma… I am a jewelry/beading fanatic, so Michael’s and Joann’s gets really boring after awhile. There aren’t too many boutique type bead stores in Michigan that sell semiprecious beads, crystals, and all the other good stuff. Wicks and Stones is AWESOME! They offer SO many different classes: Glass making, Metal Stamping, Pearl Knotting, Bead Stringing and Weaving and pretty much anything else you could think of… The classes are inexpensive too. They start out at $ 15 a class. The owner/teacher of one of the classes that I took was very friendly and patient. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced beader there is something for you there. So you’re BORED? Why not take up a new hobby? You’ll be glad you did!
