Bead Obsessions is now temporarily closed while we move. In the future, you will be able to shop for your seed-bead needs 24/7 online, in person by appointment (with $10 fee, refundable with purchase), and during our once-a-month open houses.

The new address will be 2000-H Jefferson Davis Hwy., Alexandria, VA 22301. Please bear in mind this is space used by other businesses as well, so please do not try to drop by. Bead Obsession is no longer a walk-in retail front.

An e-mail will be sent to subscribers announcing the open house dates and the new class schedule.

Thanks!

Can it really be July tomorrow? It's really amazing how time flies!

Our lease expires at the end of July, and Bead Obsessions is downsizing and moving. Our new address is 2000-H Jefferson Davis Highway in Alexandria. We will be specializing in seed beads and all things related to working with seed beads. We are bringing our current online shopping cart up to speed while developing a new one. For in-person shopping, Bead Obsessions will be open by appointment (with an up-front appointment fee) and/or will be open one or two days of the month. Classes will continue eventually (soon, I promise!), but in a more limited way.

For me (Patricia), this is a bittersweet time. I think change is good (great, even!), but at the same time, I have had so much fun at Bead Obsessions in its present form (i.e., the retail front), and I will miss it and the daily interaction with the Obsessed! 

I truly appreciate all of you who have remained loyal to Bead Obsessions in the past 18 months. I hope I have shared something valuable with all of you, chiefly a love of seed beads and the art of beadwork. I know I have learned lots from all of you! 

I came across these photos recently. They was taken the first day Bead Obsessions was open at 619 S. Washington St.
