👍👍 Beautiful hand made crafts and authentic designs. I own a few pieces of jewlery from here. They have a big wall of craft supplies, Made a few bead hauls from here too and have never been disappointed. Great staff, well informed and always kind.

    I have been ordering from the beaded dreams store online for a while now, and I will continue to for as long as they're in business. The quality of the beads and customer service is great, and I can't wait to order my next batch of beads!

    Great little shop with very helpful and friendly staff. They have everything you need here if you are just starting out with smudging, and need supplies. A great assortment of other hand made articles and beading supplies. I went in to buy all the supplies I needed to make a smudging kit to give as a gift. I’m very happy I have discovered this place.

    Excellent! I ordered a smudge kit and three masks, one for me and one for my daughter and one for my son. I was most impressed with the beautiful items I received today, along with a special thank you gemstone, how special! Thank you so much! Meegwetch! I will highly recommend you to all my family and friends. Keep well, keep strong!

    Beautiful store. Beautiful product. No knowledgeable staff on site. When I asked the worked if she could help me with beading supplies she responded, "no, i just sell stuff" was a very disappointing experience and ended up going to another store with knowledgeable staff for much better experience.

    Visited here twice during a recent trip to Ottawa - the cashier (same person both days, so maybe an owner?) was helpful and attentive without being overbearing, and their prices were noticeably cheaper than big box places near me! They were a bit short of selection in store when I went, but they still had what I needed and the cashier said their shipment was coming in Mon/Tuesday. I REALLY love the 2cut beads that they carry - the white and black ones that I got create great play with light and interest without being quite as "show girl sparkle" as faceted crystal beads. I haven't seen this type of bead at other places!! I've bookmarked their website and will be ordering from them next time I need quality Preciosa czech glass beads or Miyuki beads!

    One of the best indigenous crafting and supplies businesses online. Wish I could shop in person one day.

  • 5/5 misatim 8 months ago on Google
    What a great place! Indigenous art, beads, books, everything someone would love as a present or for themselves. I start my Xmas shopping early and everyone loves their gifts

    Have only visited online and they have a wide selection but I wish they updated their sold out products more online. There are super basic products that have been out of stock for weeks.

    I really have liked shopping online with this business! But sadly they're often sold out of items! Great little business though!

  • 5/5 Jasmine C. 8 months ago on Google
    Such a lovely shop!! My favorite shop in Ottawa to grab beading material, they have so many options! There's beautiful Indigenous art as well and the customer service is always super friendly and helpful!

  • 5/5 Teeny Mamaangishkiinzhigwe Makwa B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beads are awesome prices! They have hard to find authentic craft supplies/items such as bone beads and porcupine quills. There’s books, earrings, dreamcatchers, clothing, purses & wallets, gemstones, findings, medicines… they literally have almost everything you could ask for ;especially in store)! Excellent customer service - very personable, friendly, super kind and caring. I’m officially addicted and each visit I’m already planning my next!! Love this place!!!

    Awesome indigenous owned business, serving both the indigenous and settler communities. Find amazing products (gifts 😉) featuring the creativity of indigenous artists.

    really good and beautiful gifts. Futhermore a good communication and efforts to repair my mistake about my direction. Thank you so much !!

    Such a beautiful store if you have never been, than I suggest you do. A sweet little gem in centretown Ottawa. Amazing hand made pieces made by native artisans. You are not just supporting them but also this special one of a kind boutique. Everything from earrings to scarf’s to moccasins to art etc. Perfect for gifts as well and they also sell gift cards in case you aren’t sure what to get someone. Shop local and support small businesses.

    Shop keeper super kind. Looks like they have a hard time keeping beads in stock and they're popular! Website is up to date on what's in stock so you don't waste a trip. Very nice setup for limiting people in a small space.

    I haven't been there in some time (I moved away from the neighbourhood unfortunately) but whenever I have been, the people working have always been so kind and helpful. My only complaint isn't the fault of the owners - the location itself has some steps to get in, which can pose difficulty if you have a wheeled mobility aid. But they offer online order and pickup, so if this is an issue for you, just order for pickup in advance and they should have your order ready in an hour or so. Also, the store always smells amazing. 😊
