I just found out that the The Bead Emporium of Montreal on Victoria has closed. Ruth Shrine far ahead of the beading boom, fell passionately in love with beads 35 years ago and opened her store. She still takes women on beading trips to Mexico each winter. Daughter Manita (who had been running the store for a few years) and a friend just opened a studio on St. Ambroise street. Beaders don’t despair, there are 4 more beading stores listed in my Smart Shopping Montreal book.
