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." Catherine - Chicago,IL (posted online) "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."
