Fayetteville has a shop for all its bead needs

The Bead Bungalow,just off of Highway 85 in Fayetteville, is the south side's only custom bead store.

The gift and jewelry boutique opened on September 16 and is located behind the Waffle House and next to the Top Drawer Boutique at 692 N. Glynn Street.

Owner Sandy Garrison opened the boutique as an expanded version of "Designs by Sandy."

The store has thousands of loose beads of all shapes, sizes, and colors ready to be made into personalized jewelry, hundreds of pre designed pieces ready to be purchased and mother's bracelets and other unique pieces of jewelry waiting to be special ordered.

The Bead Bungalow has a large selection of pewter and sterling charms; glass and fimo beads; Czech and Swarovski Crystals.

After selecting the pieces you would like to use, you can assemble the jewelry in one of the bungalows, where chairs, tables and all of the needed tools await, or you can take them home unassembled for your own projects.

She also sells the hardware needed to make everything at home and schedules lessons on how to design and make jewelry.

The Bead Bungalow hosts a number of private parties ranging from "Ladies Nights" or "Birthday Parties," to "Bridesmaids Parties."

Along with the beads and jewelry, Wellspring Stationery, picture frames, candles, hand lotion, and other unique gifts and home decor can be found at The Bead Bungalow.

"I have been designing jewelry for four years," said Garrison. "I wanted to expand my love for beads and share my interest with others."

You can reach The Bead Bungalow at 770-460-5677 or simply stop in to check the place out yourself.

The store hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
