what our Visitors say

"Great selection of beads and many other rarities. One trip to Nawbin is never the same as the last - the inventory is always changing - and some pieces are museum-worthy. Also, the owners are very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. I always stop in when I'm in Northern MI."

"They have such a great selection of bead here! They were around long before the bead craze started a few years back and I'm sure they will stay long after. I love that they have such diversity of beads. I adore the Native American ones the best. They also have great prices."

"Creative crafters beware, Nawbin's just might be the place for you! There's a nice and wide selection of buttons, beads, stones, clasps, and other crafty goodness."

I was on a trek for beads this memorial Weekend and my trip took me to Traverse City, not only were there great sights along the way, this wonderful bead shop had tons to choose from. I wasn't looking for anything particular but found lots of great items at reasonable prices. Although they didn't have an item on display, they did have it behind the counter, just ask! They also had the Michigan Native Petosky Stones. Great place and I will definitly will be back!!
