Cabsenkralen is a beading shop with a lot of things for beadembroidery. But they also sell a lot of Miyuki and Swarovski for regular beading. The most favorite reason for me to shop there is that they sell beads bij the gram (so you can also order 3 grams of you don't need a lot) and you can pay by Paypal. They also ship your beads very fast so if you order 9:00 and pay at the same time your beads will be there the next day, awesome!! Shipping cost 2,- euro's and is free within the Netherlands over 30,- euro's. They also ship to Europe and that is free over 50,- euro's.

Sometimes it is even cheaper with the shipping cost to order from Poland then buying beads in the Netherlands!
