Out on a Whim is a full service retailer of Beads and Beading Supplies established in 1986. About 10 years after opening, the store was moved to it a storefront in the charming town of Cotati, in Northern California.
In 2022, we had to close the retail store and now we sell online only.
We pride ourselves on our huge selection of Japanese seed beads from size 3/0 to 15/0. We also carry many shapes of 2-hole beads, Czech glass beads, Swarovski crystals, a variety of stringing and bead embroidery supplies and tools, findings and charms. Recently, we’ve been adding stones, chunky glass, lampwork and more!
