Then there was the time I "needed" a vest made from some of Dad's deerskins. ...and then there was the purse, the belt, the cute gifts, and the shoe repair. Every time I got: a warm smile and conversation, quality work, creative solutions, timely work, and exactly the price that was discussed. I feel great about being a customer here and hope to return many more times :).

I have found myself needing a couple of different things done over the years…read more 1. A very expensive Harley belt wore out and the leather cracked, so they made me a new belt with the Harley hardware. 2. The pull strap on a pair of boots kept tearing and they replaced it. They are creative and they do quality work! If I need something done with leather, they are my first call. TOP NOTCH!

Wow. I was amazed when I walked in the door. This place is HUGE! I soon realized that I had not…read moregiven myself enough time to completely look through everything. It is really that good! I was even a little overwhelmed, which doesn't happen very often with bead stores. They had tons of magazines and books to buy, which I love. They also had back issues of the best beading magazines. Something else I liked was the free project sheets set out around the store. It's a really nice touch. They had loads of seed beads, czech glass, crystals and gemstone strands. I could've spent an hour looking through the pendant beads alone! They also had tons of tools, base metal, silver, and gold (filled?) findings. I also liked that they carried a huge supply of gift boxes to put your bead presents in. I can't think of much that they DIDN'T have! They were also having a great sale on metal charms. They had hundreds to choose from at .50 per piece. They also had another charm area with tons of Tierra Cast charms. They were $1 each or 12/$10. I paid at least $3.50 each for the same beads at the Milwaukee show recently! My only complaint about the store was the gemsone strand prices. They seemed to run about 25% higher than the other stores I've been to. I've heard they have awesome sales though, and I will plan on driving up to Baraboo when I hear about one. I was really bummed when I found out from another customer that I'd missed a big tent sale the weekend before. I wish she hadn't told me that! I hate missing a good sale! In conclusion, I think Turtle Island Beads may be the BEST bead store I've ever been to. I was impressed. I was just there yesterday (Friday) and I would drive back up on Sunday if they weren't closed on Sundays. It's definitely worth the trip! ADDENDUM: Turtle Island Beads has closed. I'm so sad. This place was top-notch. I'm sorry to see them go.

Nate's Leather I would not take another coat back to him…read moreever. I brought Nate an 800$ leather coat that's too small, don't zip up like it should and he ignored my attempts to ask what I do with the coat he did not measure cut it toooo tight and the zipper is stressing eventually will break! The coat was too big on me. He eyeballed the alteration, no accurate measuring. The next day I changed my mind thinking he did not measure the alteration and feared a large would be a size large with a smaller waist line. I called to stop and cancel the alteration early the day after dropping the coat off and he told me he opened the coat , really 1 day ? he opened the coats seams? He told me 2 weeks to finish the alteration. I THINK THAT WAS BS. I have a coat that's took small now and the zipper is not closing the way a coat zipper is supposed to. I'm not finished reviewing a Leather Coat Alteration by Nate's Leather in Streamwood yet. i want ya's to know this business is high quality at the work they do. The problem is Nates a hard headed know it all that does not listen to customers or stand behind his work if your not satisfied. I've been ignored and you guys should know that you better not trust Nate's measuring or his after he finishes customer care. I'm sure he'll ignore this review the same as he ignored my questions I asked about a coat I look at and know I should have trusted myself when he eyeballed the measurements. Thanks, Mule
