    The reason I have ordered from Potomac Beads is the variety of beads and all the wonderful colors and shapes. When I start beading I know I can depend on their help to walk me through my pattern with confidence it will be done correctly. Thank you for doing all the hard parts so I can bead with ease. Thanks Betty Parish
