THE BEADING GEM'S JOURNAL

The Beading Room's $100 Gift Certificate Giveaway

Nova Scotia, Canada is a small province.  There aren't really a whole lot of jobs even when times are good.  So when Hollie Ferrall's husband wanted to spend more time at home in the Halifax area rather than work abroad, it made sense to start their own business. It was the only solution if they wished to remain in the Maritimes.  They bought and relaunched The Beading Room in early 2009 and never looked back. An online store made sense as it does not matter where it is located! 

Square Wire for Wire Wrapping
It is a truly family run business as there are only two people, Hollie and Brian doing all the work!  Not all couples can work so well together but they do by sharing the load.  Hollie says she "deals with all the ordering, website, social media, customer service and shipping, while Brian picks, counts and packs all the orders, photographs all the stock as it comes in, and does the free door-to-door deliveries in Halifax on Thursday mornings.  It is a nice way to meet some of our local customers face-to-face!"

They focus mainly on glass and crystal beads as well as accessories and tools.  Their inventory is growing month by month.  Shown here are some of my picks. 

Kumihimo Starter Kit
The Ferralls pride themselves in listening to what our customers want and having a personal relationship with each of them. They do welcome creations and links on their Facebook page.
