A store owner has spoken of her delight at opening a new gemstone and crystal shop along the Suffolk coast. 

Lisa Bradley, owner of Dark Angel Beads and Crystals, started with a space at Manning's Market in February last year. 

The market in Felixstowe takes place every Sunday behind Manning's Amusements in Sea Road on the seafront. 

But in October, Mrs Bradley took over the whole shop.

She has paid tribute to her friends and family who have supported her with the business venture, which will eventually look like a pirate tavern.

"I've had help from my partner and friends who have helped me build the place," said Mrs Bradley. 

"I'm still organising the shop to make it look like a pirate tavern."

The shop sells a range of gemstone beads and pendants, stainless steel pendants and glass and crystal beads. 

"I also have five other different crafters in the shop selling their items," said Mrs Bradley. 

Dark Angel Beads and Crystals is open at Manning's Market on Thursday through to Sunday from 10am to 3pm.
