.......As a little girl Rachel would sit in the garden making daisy chain necklaces and pasta bracelets.
 

Eventually she grew up? but the bead obsession had also matured.
After making her own Jewellery, selling her unique designs at Craft Fairs and teaching at Adult Education Centres, The Bead Gallery was set up by Rachel and Simon, in 2005. Originally starting off as a market stall in Oxfordshire the Bead obsession grew.

After moving to Lincoln a permanent stall was set up in the Central Market in Lincoln city centre. It soon became apparent that bigger premises were needed and a move up the road to Clasketgate was completed in 2007, however, it continued to grow and we now find ourselves situated in larger premises round the corner on Park street. A bunch of five happy Beaders now work for us and thanks to all our customers we are still growing.
