Beads Central

Plum Bazaar (formerly known as Dayton’s Hobby Shop and Tallgrass Art & Frame) is quite a find for crafty people, especially those who make jewelry.

The store has just opened in the 600 block of Commercial Street. It was always fun to wander around Dayton’s, but in the new place, there’s plenty of r-o-o-m for the beads to be properly displayed. It’s fun to look at all they’ve got.

    I’ve heard they also have a bead store in Branson, MO. So, Flips will be able to shop with them still, and have an Emporia connection in Branson!

    There are 12 different couples we know who are from Emporia & the Emporia area that have businesses in Branson-& that area or are in partnership with others in business in Branson!!

    Plus many others who are from The Emporia area who have retired to the Branson area——– we are getting much closer!! :)

    Hubby & I were headed for the pet store (L & L pets) today in Emporia to get more canary food before we move—just in case we don’t find his food at our new home—right away—–
    & we stopped in at the new location for the Kelly girls at PLUM BAZAAR!

    What a wonderful new location–the store is terrific!!!!!!!!! So light & bright & well arranged & so many neat things!!!!!!!!

    We got to see Susan & talk with her——& I gave her our new address in Branson & we are planning lunch together— & other things to do when we get moved & Susan is down there working—— can’t wait!!!!!!!
    Toooo much fun!!!!!!!!!
    I’m just be Plum Bazaar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

    I was truly surprised when I moved to austin and couldn’t find a bead store with nearly the selection (or the good prices) that they had at dayton’s. I’ve had to resort to hobby lobby and the quality just isn’t the same. It’s good to hear they are still up and running. If I’m ever back up there I’ll have to stock up on some beads…
