Yum Yum Beads started life as four bead trays on a market stall in the South of France.

Via the long and winding road from the Langedoc to Leeds we have established a business in the Corn Exchange, an impressive domed Victorian building in the center of Leeds. We started selling there from a week-end craft stall, then took the plunge to rent one of the shops on the balcony in 2002.

Our small shop is stuffed full of beads of many colours, sizes, shapes and materials.  We have maintained our French connection and have a summer shop in the picturesque medieval town of Dinan in Brittany. 

Now, on line we offer a taster of the beads we sell in our shops.
