I travel a lot and I always look for bead stores, and the best I've found is Beads on Main. I've never been in another store with the quality and selection they have and their prices are SO reasonable. They have great stock from all over the world, plus the usual tools, findings, crystals, vintaj, pearls, Czech glass, etc. Their silver selection is amazing. If you have a question about a beading method, there is usually someone there who can sit down with you to help you out. They schedule classes on demand, plus they will show you how to get started on simple projects if you're a beginner. You can bring in projects and work on them right there using their tools. There's also a selection of original, handmade jewelry if you just can't find the time to make something for yourself. But be warned, beading is addictive and this place is bead junkie heaven!
