As a budding jewelry artist/designer/hobbyist, I enjoy finding rare treasures to incorporate in my work. From adding bits from broken watches, keys, gems, buttons and more, my jewelry making style is moving forward, bringing with it the intense need to locate and secure new eye-catching tidbits to bring my creations to life.

These sometimes overlooked details are priceless. One of the most priceless findings that I've discovered recently is actually, nothing that can be placed on a necklace bauble. It's a bead shop, aptly named, 'Let's Get Stranded'.

The shop is located on 620 Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois and the first thing that catches your eyes upon entering is the rainbow of colored semi-precious stones glittering like lost treasures from their perches on the walls. From Iolite to amethyst, garnet, and jade, this shop has nearly every imaginable stone in a variety of shapes and styles.
The second thing that draws your eye is the large table in the center of the room with an array of rare beads and findings nestled in bowls like delicate Faberge eggs. I've purchased a few of these and plan to use them soon.
The third, and most important part of the shop is: The shop owner. Kadijah (I hope that's spelled right), is a cheerful and HELPFUL bead and jewelry-making aficionado. With excitement and a sureness that only belongs to someone who knows their way around the beadboard, she happily guides and explains should you have any questions. She's also been known to chat amicably about any hobbies or inspirations she's had or any that you care to share or discuss.
Every little thing about 'Let's Get Stranded' has been put together with care to bring you the most comfortable and educational shopping experience. The treasure trove of rare finds and friendly company will make you come back again and again.

Happy treasure hunting! :boogie:
