Beads & Rugs — Local services in Paducah

I visited this store today for my 1st time and and I am absolutely in love. The beads are high quality, reasonably priced and it's a beaders paradise!! The variety he has exceeds beads.

Beautiful, and something you won't find in a Fire Mountain Gems catalog.
