Eureka! Beads, Pakenham

I love this place - they have 2 showrooms, and I've been to both, but I prefer the one in Pakenham. It's in a lovely little cottage building, and it's a lovely place to go in and browse.

A huge range of beads and findings, all arranged in colour sections, making it easy to find what you're after.

Most of the beads are sold by weight, so you can grab pre-packed bags of beads or scoop out as many beads as you like into the bags provided (a bit like an old fashioned lolly shop)

They often have online specials too, so it's a good idea to sign up for their newsletter. I have placed orders online and picked them up from the store too, which is a great way to save postage. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're after beads and jewellery making supplies.

This is a fabulous place for anyone to come visit! They don't just sell a huge fantastic range of beads they also sell all kinds of glass ornaments, lamps, vases and beautiful window mobiles, etc. Now the other fantastic fact is the service! They hold classes there of all levels from beginner to advanced. They are more than happy to assist you with any questions you have re jewelry making, they have great advice and will show how to do things or use things. The staff are always happy and friendly and so patient. And there prices are very good, excellent value for money. I definitely recommend Eureka to anyone.
