Need a little help. I was in the city today and picked up 3 bags of swarvoski crystals (144 in each bag). See, I'm making rhinestone flip flops for all of my bridesmaids, and wouldn't you know it, I ran out with only a few left to go!!!
Now I'm DYING to finish, but I won't be back in the city till Tuesday. I'm having a Bridesmaid BBQ on Monday and was hoping to give the girls a little something special. Does anyone know where I can find swarvoski crystals on Long Island? The last thing I feel like doing is driving into the city tomorrow.. traffic coming home will be a nightmare!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
THANKS!!!

Any luck at stores like Michael's or AC Moore?
THey'll probably cost more, but at least they're local.

Thanks Girls! I will have to call tomorrow morning all the stores that you suggested and see if they swarvoski . The thing is they have to be the same exact crystals since I started already. I am tempted to just drive in tomorrow if they dont have them in L.I. Thanks Again Guys! I will take a picture of my finished work to show u girls they are coming out so nice so far

Re: Bead stores on LI?
So I just made some phone calls and AC Moore has them!!!!!! Now I just have to say a prayer that they are the same ones that I got in the city. I will be so happy if they are so I don't have to take a ride into the city today. I was thinking I am not even sure if the bead store in the city will be open on a Saturday. Thanks Again Guys!! Say a prayer that I find the same ones at AC MOORE!!!!

For all beaders on Long Island if you are a seasoned beader or new visit the bead store in Bellmore. The store is called Beads n' Stitches which had a write-up in Newsday this past week. It has the largest selection of beads you will find in a store on Long Island. Classes daily and good staff to help you.

beads and stitches is a nice place, artbeads.com is cheaper though if you know what your looking for.

artbead is cheap and you can buy in big quantities. But if you have coupons go to Michaels and AC Moore it's about the same price.
