Non-US Bead Shops list
Marianne Vaughn
Part 4 of 7
This portion of the Bead Shops/Catalogs list was created and is maintained by
Marianne Vaughn. Please send all updates, corrections and additions
to 'mva...@clark.net.'
This part of the FAQ lists retail bead shops organized alphabetically by
country and alphabetically by store name within each country. Hours are
listed where available. Suggestions on organization welcome.
For anyone who cannot download this entire list due to character/line limits
with your newsreader, try the ftp site: anon ftp ftp.clark.net/pub/mvaughn;
or the new Bead Fairy web site: http://www.mcs.net/~simone/beadfairies.html;
if you still can't get it, please e-mail me at 'mva...@clark.net' and I will
happily e-mail you the list in two parts or whatever way you can read it.
For anyone seeking further jewelry making advice or information, check out the
rec.crafts.jewelry FAQ at the following FTP site:
ftp.netcom.com/pub/sp/sparrow/rcj/rec.crafts.jewelry FAQ
Note: Mail Order does not mean the shop has a catalog! Mail order means you
call and ask for a specific item, you send money or give credit card number,
and the shop sends you the item.
