I live in San Antonio, TX, previously lived in Stockton and needed a birthday gift for my sister Mary Anne. I called the store and Deborah helped me to purchase a gift certificate over the phone! Turns out, when I called my sister to tell her about her present, she got excited about it and also that she has taken classes that Deborah has taught. Thanks, Deborah, for your assistance in giving my sister a most perfect birthday present! I can't wait to visit your store when I'm in town.

All I can say is "AMAZING!" After searching high and low for a specific color of Swarovski, I wound up at Bead Dreams, and they STUNNED me with their selection! I went in for one thing - Swarovski crystals in a AB2X finish. I left after spending about an hour, chatting with the owners and sifting through beads, and found 2 colors of AB2X Swarovskis that even Fire Mountain didn't carry!! Love the store, love the gals, and can't wait to go back!! Thanks, Bead Dreams!!

I have been beading for over 20 years, been in more than 70 bead stores, and this is one of the best stores I have visited. The selection of seed beads is as the store title says, a dream. The choice of Delicas alone is worth a trip. I found some seed beads that I can't even find on the internet. The choice of crystals will make your eyes sparkle. I found a pair of vintage crystals that were like nothing I have ever seen. It took an hour to get there from where I live, but it was worth it. When my friends and I got home, we already started planning for our next trip. Don't miss this store! It is a jewel! Sue

BEAD DREAMS is the best bead store in Stockton. Hundreds of choices, wall to wall beads of all shapes, sizes, and colors.
If you are a fan of Swarovski Crystals, you will be richly rewarded. 2X AB crystals are plentiful, prices are fantastic, and the service is wonderful. Everyone will feel welcome in the atmosphere of helpfulness, advice, and many samples of the work of instructor Debra Staehle. Debra, who has twenty years of beading experience, teaches classes on beading for the beginner to the experienced. If you need repairs for your jewelry, that service is also available. Her work has been on the cover of a magazine, Bead and Button. The owner of this gem of a store is Enola, and this is her third successful bead store.
However, please do not confuse this store with Beads Plus. which was mentioned in another review. The only thing they had in common was Debra. When the fans of Debra's work and valued experience found out where she was, we took our business to BEAD DREAMS.

What a great slection of seed beads! And I have never seen so many Delicas in one place, not to mention the crystals! The owner has done a great job in displaying ALL those beads! I taught for this shop when they were in Reno. Never have I seen such a verity of beads. Some, can't even be found on the internet!
To relinda.......Are you sure you even went into the right shop?
I understand Stockton was in need of a good Bead Shop, Your lucky, Stockton now has a GREAT BEAD SHOP!

I am so glad to find you in Stockton, I visited your store in Reno and was in awe of your selection. I was disappointed to find out you moved, but glad I found you closer to home. I can not thank you enough for all of your help, all my questions were answered promptly and professionally. I am looking forward to signing up for another class. Great location, excellent customer support, and such a wide selection I could spend the afternoon there. Kudos to the owner and staff, BRAVO !!!!

ok this place has not just opened they reopened with a new name originally Beads Plus and it was horrible they have limited quantites in comparison to other stores and they are higher priced then other stores.. while i was there a lady was looking for a specific charms "bunches of Beads" in lodi has a very good selection i sent her there they heard me and kicked me out if if i was ever again a customer i would want them to send me to the competition it would make me come back to them after all thats shows they are more in tune to their cutomers needs... Rude not new only remodded still owned by the same owner. it was Bead Plus
I am the owner of Bead Dreams, on Pacific Ave. in Stockton and I moved here from Reno, NV. and I did not change my name from Beads Plus and and I am not the same owner, I have a large Swarovski collection and do not kick people out of my store, I send customer's to Beads Plus as well as Bunches of Beads in Lodi.I do believe you are mistaken.If you are ever in need of a bead, please drop in and say hi.
