Directions to Beadshaper in Chicago

Hi Chicagoans and Chicago Suburbanites,
Are you looking for hand made glass beaded wire wrap jewelry? or are you looking for hand crafted lampwork glass beads that you can use in making jewelry?
Let me tell you how to get to the Beadshaper's Boutique in Chicago. Go to 5247 N Clark Street which is just north of Foster. Parking on Clark Street is tight and metered (which is OK if you only have a short time to spend). If you want to spend more time and don't mind a little more walking, there is non-metered parking on the side street around the corner. It's also tight but free, and if you look around there always seems to be a spot. The Beadshaper boutique is located in the Andersonville Galleria. As soon as you enter the door, turn right to the stair case. Walk up the stairs to the second floor. As you enter the second floor, turn left toward the window, then right past the window to the next aisle. Go halfway down that aisle and look to the right. You are in for a treat. There are an ample selection of colorful focal beads that can be easily strung on a chain to make a pendant necklace. There are also a dazzling array of beaded and wire wrapped earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. So please visit. It's well worth the effort.
If you happen to live in California, the Beadshaper has a cabinet in the Bella Bazaar at Pacific Coast Highway and Blue Lantern Street in Dana Point and a web site at www.beadshaper.com/.
