New Additions to Urbana, IL Bead Trunk Show

  Updates to Bead Trunk Show in downtown Urbana


Not only do we have seed beads available for this trunk show, but also a nice selection of strands of semi-precious gemstones (Ibril stopped by on Tuesday with LOTS of beautiful beads, so we have them displayed for sale in the classroom as well)

Fridays, October 4th, we will stay open until 7pm to allow later shopping.

PLEASE NOTE: NO DISCOUNTS allowed on show beads.

Stop by
Friday, October 4th @4pm to 7pm
Saturday, October 5th from 10am to 5pm
Sunday, October 6th from 12noon to 5pm

If you've never participated in a bead trunk show, the concept is pretty simple. Think of a traveling bead show where you can find all sorts of treasures, but for a limited time. When the show is finished, we return whatever beads remain back to Cha Cha.

This enables us to offer you a much larger selection of beads. In the Champaign-Urbana area, you will not find a larger, more complete, or fantastic selection of seed beads than you will find at this show. We hope you will enjoy ChaCha Beads as much as we do.
