Crazy bead store

This is our favorite bead store around. Precisely because it’s a giant mess in which one must rummage.
It’s called, “Things We Love” and it’s at 1339 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington. The owner speaks several languages and travels all over the world to get beads and things for her store. She pulls no punches when you ask her a question.
So Julia and I played hooky from work recently and dropped in. I was looking for any ring-shaped things and she suggested I sit on the floor and dump out the tub, which, of course, I did. It was like preschool for me. I was in my own private bead & chachka heaven.
