RitzyToo’s Bead Store of the Month:
A Bead Store Committed to
Excellence & Owner Involvement!
‘Fly Me Away to the
Bright Side of the
Moon’...
Those are the words that began to play
in my mind almost immediately when I
first set eyes on Midwest Beads located in
Brookfield, Wisconsin. The owners, Alice
& Gary Lauber have been in the beading
business for more than 20 years.
Alice and Gary’s introduction to the the role
of their bead shop as a ‘Dream Weaver’
all started with the wistful purchase of a
gemstone necklace that was calling their
name at a holiday craft show! What began
then as a small instant gratification, turned
into a hobby, and ultimately to an exciting
full time business.
Midwest Beads offers something for
everyone. Whether you are a beginner or
a seasoned beader you’ll love the amazing
selection of beads, findings, components
and bead supplies. This full-service bead
shop offers creative talent, classes, jewelry
repair, work tables, beads, kits, inspiration,
and free advice.
However, high energy, organization, and
love for the business carry the day!
Midwest Beads will Transport Your Imagination
