It was a nice surprise to find them. . The shop is small but is filled with a great mix of bead types including traditional glass beads, crystals , stones and more. I appreciate that I can get certain sizes and shapes of beads that I can't find at the other stores. I also loved being able to feel the beads and look at them in person vs online. Sam was there (maybe the owner) and he was super welcoming and helpful. I ended up with a string of jade beads and a string of coral colored beads plus some earring hooks. I'll be back for sure.

I am an avid beader and have a growing collection of beads that I must admire and organize on a…read moredaily basis. This store has a wonderful collection of beads and I'm happy to have come across this little gem to further add to my collection. I purchase A LOT of beads online and in-person so I'd like to think I have good judgement when it comes to deeming things worthy of their prices and quality but I still have room to learn! I read a lot of reviews before visiting business which is a blessing and a curse because many reviews mentioned the prices of beads being too high which concerned me, regardless of those reviews I took a chance and went in myself. For the size of the store the collection of beads is nice, hanging on either side of the store are strings of semi-precious beads. I usually hover around the left section of the store as those beads are more of what I'm looking for. They do have some sterling silver pendants which are cute, wishing they had more variety but not complaining. They also have a nice variety of jewelry making supplies or "findings" including stainless steel and sterling silver. Their assortment of pearls is WONDERFUL!!! One of the largest collections I've seen so far! So many shapes, sizes and colors!!! Manik, the owner told me they source a lot of their pearls from India & Australia which is GREAT to know as many of the pearls I use are sourced from the Philippines and Texas. From what I've personally noticed is that Texan pearls are very affordable, they're nice but they're not "perfect", more variety of oval shaped than circular shaped and more striations than the conventionally pretty and polished pearls you might find elsewhere. The pearls that Manik supplies are beautiful, smooth and uniform, you can easily inspect the strands for any imperfections! I've found an online supplier of Texan pearls who offerers 15.5" strands for 8mm pearls, where Beads At Beads might charge almost x2 for a 15.5" strand of similarly sized pearls, I CAN justify the price increase because of the availability, the quality, the quantity available and country of origin, etc., there are different factors that contribute to pricing and I always keep that in mind when making a purchase. Okay, I'm done geeking out on pearls, I've found my new go-to place! Thanks, Manik for your thoughtful selection of jewelry making supplies, I will be back! :)

As a new watch owner, I wanted my first purchase to be meaningful, and CH Premier in Palo Alto…read moreabsolutely delivered. David helped me, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide through the process. I came in knowing what I liked aesthetically, but not fully understanding movements, GMT functions, long-term care, or how different brands compare. David broke everything down clearly without ever making me feel inexperienced. What I appreciated most was how passionate and knowledgeable he is about watches at every level. Whether discussing entry-level pieces or high-end collectors' watches, he spoke with the same depth and respect. It felt less like a sales interaction and more like a conversation with someone who truly loves horology. If you're thinking about starting your watch journey, or adding to your collection, this is the place to do it. And ask for David! Great experience from start to finish. Thank you David.

One of the things I liked about CH is the ability to shop Omega, Grand Seiko, and many others all in one place. Will be back for the next one.

Overall, a great store to stop at if you're in the area. I'm sure you'll be able to find something.

FabMo is a wonderful community resource that I wish more people knew about. Run by a cadre of…read moremostly women volunteers, this organization rescues discontinued samples from upscale design showrooms in San Francisco. Housed in a small Sunnyvale warehouse, the organization says that each year, they keep about 70 tons (!) of material from going to the landfill. FabMo hosts regular sales open to the public as well as biannual "free giveaway" events. Customers can find tile, carpet, textile fabrics, wallpaper and more. Many materials are provided for free to teachers and there are also donations from the local community. Quilting fabrics, silk fabrics, jewelry making items, sewing notions, leather, decorations and much, much more are offered for sale in person or online through the FabMo eBay store. The only thing I wish that FabMo would do is to develop a partnership with WomenSV - a non-profit group based in the neighboring town of Los Altos. WomenSV helps women get out of abusive relationships. A little known fact about California family law is that, while the legal process is ongoing, individuals are prohibited from selling or using community property to make money. This allows for a continuation of financial abuse by the more powerful partner as they can delay the legal process indefinitely. In my own case, the divorce has been going on for three years as my ex has blocked me from accessing funds that are legally mine. Thanks to the low and no-cost materials I got from FabMo, I have been able to make and sell small craft items in order to buy groceries and obtain veterinary care for my service dog. As FabMo already hosts regular crafting lessons, I wonder if FabMo could somehow do community outreach to provide materials and teach skills to women trying to leave their abusers. Even people who have already managed to escape could benefit from the amazing work that the FabMo volunteers do. They're so successful at saving materials - - wouldn't it be great they could be a part of saving lives. Thanks, FabMo!

This time it's different.. I wasn't sure if they were open due to COVID so I called in to check. I talked to Lupita. I was looking for NYX face products: foundation & pressed powder. They only have 1 of each (in my shade) left in stock. I knew these items are always short in stock. She told me she was going to put it on hold. Honestly, I didn't really believe that but when I showed up half hour later, I saw she did set it aside. Awwww...Lupita is the bomb! In addition to the things I reserved, I bought a few more items and every question I had it was answered with enough information. Because of Lupita, I felt so comfortable being there and she helped me find what I was looking for in a product. Her bright attitude and friendly personality made it easy to talk to her. What a positive environment!!! All in all I had an AMAZING experience at this store. Would 10/10 come back again.
