Off the Beaded Path did not start out as a store, it started out as a dream!  In February 2005 Kelly
Dale put 1 glass case in her husbands shop on main street in Forest City.  As she made jewelry and
put it in the shop people started coming by and asking "Do you carry the beads to make this?" or "Can
you get this finding?" It dawned on Kelly one day that the town really needed a Bead Shop so that
people didn't have to drive to Asheville, Charlotte, or Greenville to shop for beads.  So, she started
ordering a few products each week and soon she had taken over half of her husbands shop and
needed some more room.  In February 2006 she moved out of her husbands shop and moved into her
and a year later the shop is packed full of great beads, stringing material, magazines, books, crystals,
and so much more.  Off The Beaded Path is not big retail chain like Wal-Mart, a Large Craft store like
Michaels, or even a multi-million dollar bead company like Fire Mountain Gems.  We may not always
have the biggest sales, or the most merchandise but what we can guarantee you is that each time you
come to our store you will be greeted by a friendly staff member who is more then willing to help you
with any beading problems or concerns.
