Robin's Bead Nest
Harriett Butler loves to knit, and she suspected that many of the customers who enjoyed beading at Robin’s Bead Nest might as well. She convinced her daughter, Bead Nest owner Robin Justice, to add beautiful yarns and knitting supplies to the store’s offerings, coupled with knitting and crocheting classes and a Sit and Knit every Thursday.
Now, a whole new clientele joins in the camaraderie, laughter, and fun that fills the shop every day. Customers come to shop, to knit and bead, to attend classes, or just to enjoy the warm atmosphere. Everyone is treated to free coffee, hot tea, bottled water, and soft drinks. “We offer a relaxing, friendly environment. It’s therapeutic,” says Robin.
The Nest has enjoyed tremendous response to its inventory of beads and gems of all kinds, plus the materials needed to create earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, and to adorn any and all objects. The Nest’s private party room hosts birthday parties, bridal showers, and ladies nights out.
The Nest has added Sunday hours. For Robin, it’s a pleasure. “I feel like I’m living the dream,” she says.
