Hi,
The Manchester Bead Shop, in Affleck's Palace is online at www . the-beadshop .co.uk. I've bought from them online and in the flesh - great choice and service either way.
Hope this helps,
Debby

the-beadshop.co.uk

is this the one you were thinking of

I have just started beading/jewellery making and spent most evening searching the web for suppliers and resources and ideas.

Alright already!! Stop plugging them! :o An introduction from both of you would have been nicer than the promotion job. :)

I agree they don't seem that competitive on price. What worries me is that I lived in Manchester for 15 years and I don't recall a bead shop - my memory is really shot. But I can remember the lyrics to I Remember You by Frank Ifield, which is odd because I can't stand it.

I originally come from Manchester - it has that effect on you! Or it could have been the Piccadilly Club in 1971..................that got rid of a lot of brain cells! :sm:

I used to love Afflecks. There was a lady there who sold the most fabulous handmade suede jackets.

I'm not sure I went to the Piccadily Club but I did spend a lot of time in the Conti. But then everyone spent a lot of time in there because your feet got stuck to the carpet, lol.

Afflecks Palace is not everyone's cup of tea. it's a more of a students' haunt as far as I'm concerned. ;) And you have to walk up all these stairs to find the tiny bead shop. I thought they catered more for the younger generation (and no, I am not that old, it's just my opinion :p )

There are more and more Bead Fairs organised in the North West, this year alone I am doing 5 in the NW (Chester x 2, Nantwich x 2 and Haydock Racecourse) and of course there is Harrogate twice a year if you are prepared to drive further afield. There's a bead shop in Northwich too - that's the closest I can think of near Manchester (I know the lady who runs it).
