The Story
Our first store, the Bead Bucket, was opened in May 1997. The Bead Bucket is located in Ephraim, WI in Door County. The Bead Bucket is a summer shop only, open the end of May to the middle of October. We offer the same incredible inventory as our sister shop, the Mother Bead.
"..The two stores carry literally millions of beads and baubles made of glass, crystal, fresh water pearls, sterling silver, shell, stone, and semi-precious gems, plus an array of jewelry pliers, jewelry wire and tools, clasps, hooks, and supplies. Pretty much anything needed to make bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and even watches can be found..." writes Lee Marie Reinsch of The Business News.
