Hi I used advanced message and then u can add an attatchment- u do need to downsize your photo heaps 1st- i did this on my camera. It's annoying they're so expensive in UK. I'm going over next year but don't want to spend more on a bead just to say I got it in UK!

Little Sharon I hope you have a fantastic time in the states- I'm so excited only 2 mths till I go. Before I go, I still need to find out where the Pandora shop is near Anaheim and in Vegas.

My daughter Loves her Pandora (though it's still too BIG to wear out)- so far only has the Dog- as we got a puppy last year. She wants the Princess and the Pea bead and Queen bee- i tried explaining that mummy will get her that in MANY years to come when she has her own family-lol try explaining that to a 4 year old. Anyway I want the QUEEN bee!!!
I want to get her the teddy- I love him to but too much black oxidisation for me which is why i got myself the retired bear head as it's a great shinny bead.

Will have to make the catch up in Melbourne between 16 April (Sharon gets back from US) and 19th May(I go to US):yahoo:

Pandoraholic, I think the dollar is getting better and you will have a ball buying Pandora from the States!!!!


What is the princess and the pea bead? We have a few books and a toy of that story...its the best. It`s so politically incorrect for todays times to think that a princess is more delicate than us normal folks. I often have a laugh to myself when I think of all those mattresses, and that she got so bruised from a little pea.....and that`s a good thing in the story.....come on prince...think about that before you marry this girl!!!!!!!!:graucho:

Also why is it too big for your daughter to wear out? Did you get her a bigger bracelet that she can grow into?

I got my daughter the 16cm which is the smallest as she has very tiny wrists. She can take it off without opening it. The sad thing is the bracelet keeps nipping her so its not as much fun as I thought it would be. Maybe it needs more beads but I like one bead for such a young age.

Anyway, its funny how Im sort of anti oxidization in the Pandora. Am I just secretly setting myself up to want the gold...I wonder. The gold is just all pure shiny gold!!!! The silver you have to double check. However, when I gave teddy a good clean lots of black came off him and he looked much better.;)

Littlesharon -- 79115 is the house bead. 79287 is the church ... we don't even have that one on the US website. Have fun on your vacation! What part of the US are you visiting?

Thank you DaisyLorraine, I really couldnt work it out. The bead that you say is a church does look like a church but it doesnt have a cross so I thought maybe its just a church style house. And, the 79115 which you say is a house, doesnt have a door so it looks like a dog house or something. Its a really little house isnt it.....I think I would rather live in the church bead!!!!! j/k:p

I know, the house bead doesn't really have much detail on it that I can see, just a window and a chimney. And the church bead has a clock tower on it (don't know that I've ever noticed a clock on any church around here). But if you look at the window, the windowpane thingy looks like a cross (really stretching my imagination here, haha). I'm not sure if you knew, but if you click on each charm (on the Pandora website), when you scroll down it gives a full description of each bead that actually tells you that it is a house or a church. Otherwise, it really is hard to tell what some of the beads are supposed to be. I agree though, the church bead is cuter than the house :smile1:.

Daisy, I have to say that the house bead is just plain embarressing for Pandora. How could they design a house without a door. Maybe its reflecting the current economy???? Sucks hey???

I just got the church bead from European ebayer due to this line of discussion. Thanks girls for the tip as I would never have known that this bead existed as to my knowledge it was never sold here in the US!

Re: the house bead, it is one of the older Pandora designs which perhaps accounts for the simplicity. I found it really appropriate for putting together a St. Patrick's Day themed bracelet as it looks like a little cottage and looked really nice with the shamrock beads.

Hi Ladies! I usually only get to check in on weekends and it's so much fun to read your banter back and forth throughout the week about all things Pandora! My hubby is on his way to pick up my new champagne tendril clips and some beads I orders/won on ebay from the post office...hoping he will help me post pics after I start bracelet 2 today since I am home sick with yet another sinus infection (I teach kindergarten and have been sick all through this winter!!) Loved reading about the watch beads and hope they really do come to the US! Quick question...I just received the snowflake with blue stone (can't remember if it's aquamarine or cz) but I can't find the ALE anyone know if it's def on there?? Thanks! Happy Saturday!

I have to say, it's not one of my favorites, but Izzy's Mom said it's an older bead. Maybe they will redesign that one some day -- after all, they did put out a much cuter elephant!

Izzy, I didn't even know about the church bead until Littlesharon mentioned it. I was looking at a few websites to see what she was talking about and couldn't find it. Then I realized she's in Australia, so I went to the Pandora Australia website and there it was. I'm surprised they don't sell that one in the US, I would think it would be a bead a lot of people would want.

Girls, for those interested, my husband is offering a special extra discount on account that many prices with gold will increase on the 1st April.

www.johnstonjewellers.com


If you mention PScope you will get 15% off any Pandora purchase. You can layby also if you want.

Anyway, where the gold is concerned, its expensive enough right????

LITTLESHARON~

I went to the website for your husbanda store. I love pearls and opals, and might get something! But I couldn't find a link for Pandora????
Could you kindly check and let me know what I may be doing wrong.
Thanks~

Hello girls Hope everyone is well.

Hey Laurie_lou where did you see the new beads?? I'm an english girl too and everywhere I ask I keep getting told 1st April. Am a little disappointed that there is not more glass beads for us girls with small budgets. Dream of an all gold one but not likely to happen for me. Do love the watch beads though. Such a cool idea.

My little girl has decided on the butterfly for Mothers Day. Went through the websites with her whilst she told me the ones that she thought I should get and the reasons why so I have extended my must have list!! Will order it next week. Yippee. Have also discovered Lovelinks glass. In my mind would love to be a solely pandora girl but Lovelinks have such an enormous range of glass beads at half the price and good quality. Got two last week, one black and white swirls and the other really dark purple with light purple/pink circles. Gorgeous. :D

lvchicago and pandora junkie -- Thanks for checking! At least I know that others can't find the hallmark either. I did check a few websites about identifying authentic Pandora, and they did say that almost all of the pieces are marked, so maybe this is one of the ones that isn't.

I have found that beads with a great amount of detail, such as the egg, the retired moon crater with cz's, etc. don't usually have the ALE 925 marking for some reason.. unless my eyes can't find it!!:laugh:
