I made a delightful discovery today. A friend and I went up the mountain for some wine tasting, (I had a Groupon) and on the way back to the car we checked out the bead store. They have an absolutely stunning selection. I told the woman working that I have a bead problem. I love them. I buy them. I never do anything with them, and sometimes give them away to people that will actually do something with them. She made me promise to come back, we'll have a couple of glasses of wine (she works at the wine tasting room on the weekends) and we can play with beads. If you're headed to Julian, check out this lovely place: Mountain Beadworks
