OUR HISTORY . . .
The gals at Funky Hannah’s have always loved beads! Our store is named after five generations of ‘crafty’ Hannahs in the owner, Amanda’s family. Our flower pot logo came from one of the ‘Funky Hannah’s . . . Grandmother Miriam Hannah Gottshall painted that motif on a set of china in 1927 and gave it to her only granddaughter. Amanda’s mother – Hannah – gave her a gift of seed beads as a child more than 30 years ago and look what grew!  In 1997 she threw all caution to the wind and took her love of beads, experience running a non-profit social service agency and desire for community and created Funky Hannah’s in a charming 1860’s renovated storefront in the heart of historic downtown Racine.

Now in our twelfth year, we’re having more fun than ever! Our team of knowledgeable staff – all bead artists themselves – offer outstanding service to all of our customers. The relaxed environment and amazing inventory of beads make shopping at Funky’s almost as much fun as creating with the beads we sell.

So now you know that no one here is named Hannah but we are all a little Funky.
