I've found all of these three places to be good and have a wide selection of everything you may need. If your Bead stash has run out they do kits, also tutorials for inspiration, Beads Direct, The Bead Shop, Spoilt Rotten. I have got nice semi-precious beads off these people, but they were not the cheapest and the customer service was not great. I have Cooksons bookmarked for when I next need to re-stock, particularly for metal beads.
I have also picked up good bargain on EBay, either nice assortments but also "semi-precious" beads from China, I had my doubts about the authenticity of these but as they were for personal use, not selling, I had no problem with this, the delivery was usually very cheap or free and generally took about a week.
