Hi, it’s Chris and Lindsy from Peacock Beads, formally Beads.Our introduction to the public and social media is so overdue.  It has been exhausting getting here.Eighteen months ago, my daughter Lindsy and I purchased Beads from Barbara and Andy.  Both are enjoying retirement and are overjoyed to be with their grandson.  We are so thankful to Barbara and Andy for teaching us as much as they could and did.  As a new customer of Beads, I did not know them.  After a few meetings before buying Beads, one week of in-shop training, a very long day in LA, and a wonderful week in Tucson, we have fallen in love with them.  Barbara and Andy are a lovely duo: kind, caring, and genuine.  We had the most magical time in Tucson.  That week, they introduced us to their fabulous wholesalers, and we bought tons of stock!  We got to know each other, spending time together at the Airbnb, Saguaro National Park, many gem shows, and some fantastic restaurants.  We are so excited for our 2nd annual Tucson get-together.  We relocated from the DeLa Guerra and Santa Barbara corner to 12 E Cota Street.  Our storefront faces the World Market parking lot.  Our shop is between the @palacegrillsb & @foxtailkitchen (soon to be Petra Cafe) restaurants.  Santa Barbara’s parking lots 10 & 11 (follow arrow to Cota and turn left) are convenient, and the first 75 minutes are free.
