My favorite site to purchase beads.  Delivery is quick and efficient

Adding a "quick order" box at the top of the page of each bead type, where you can list all the numbers you need and have them automatically added to the cart together (123stitch has this feature for DMC thread) would be very helpful! Also some of the beads (at least the tila beads) don't have the number in the listing title and are hard to search for. Overall pleased to have a local source for beads. Thanks!
