Hi I’m Lucy, it’s lovely to meet you!
Hi, I’m Lucy, the owner of Beadz Bazaar. I’ve lived in Frome since I was little, so opening and running a creative shop in this lovely town feels very special to me. I’ve been making jewellery since I was about 14, and what started as a hobby has turned in to a lifelong passion.
I originally studied Graphic Design at university and spent a short time working freelance, but it didn’t take long to realise it wasn’t the right fit. Wanting a more hands-on and creative career, I made a change and decided to turn my love of jewellery making into a business by taking over Beadz Bazaar.
I love all things creative and usually have at least two projects on the go at any one time. I’m especially drawn to giving old things new life, which is why I often work with reclaimed and recycled beads. For me, jewellery making is about creativity, sustainability and individuality — values that are at the heart of everything I do at here Beadz Bazaar.
“I popped in with my 4-year-old granddaughter to buy some beads as a little treat and we were absolutely blown away by the choice. There was such a lovely variety of wooden and plastic beads, all really well suited to her age.
I thought we might have gone a bit overboard — so I was very pleasantly surprised when I got to the till and realised I’d only spent £11!
The friendly service from Lucy really topped off the experience. She was very sweet, incredibly helpful and clearly knew the stock inside out. A fantastic shop with great value and a really welcoming atmosphere.”
“Lovely to see you today Lucy! Your shop is fabulous. Thank you soo much for all your help and advice for my daughter about making earrings.
We’ll be back in a couple of weeks to stock up on more gorgeous beads and findings. I’m sure there are more shelves I didn’t manage to explore today!”
