I had a wander round Afflecks today. Afflecks (or Afflecks Palace as it used to be called) is a collection of quirky independent shops in a building that was once a department store, in Manchester City Centre. http://www.afflecks.com/
It's a bit of a Manchester institution now. There are shops selling vintage clothes, trendy stuff, fancy dress, crystals, piercings, goth & emo clothes .. and beads!
@ralfb @cgould Thank you, thank you! :o)
@phil_howcroft Yes, I thought that - especially as a few of the beads look like 'noughts' and the ones in the bottom left compartment are crosses! :o)
@rainbowsnic42 Yeah. worth a visit while you're up next month :o)
