During this difficult time, The Bead Merchant is here to offer help. Your health and safety is our top concern. We know that many of you turn to knitting, crochet or beadwork as a way of coping with stress and uncertainty, or just passing the time in a positive way:). During the month of March, store hours will be reduced to Wednesday - Friday, noon to 4pm. I will be sanitizing frequently throughout the day.

In addition, I will focus on putting the most popular items on our website for sale www.beadmerchant.com. If you are more comfortable shopping online, please note that pick-up orders will not be charged shipping. Curbside pick-up can also be arranged. Yes, the 50% off bead sale prices continue....and may not be reflected on the website. Ask if you are unsure.
