Pandoraholic- Do you sell tupperware....I love tupperware!!!!! I once had a party at my home just for me!!!!! One thing thats been on my mind it to replace all my lids to black as the bright blue is so blahhhh.
Congrates to your dh for winning in cricket. He must be fit!!!!
As for the P. & the Pea.....Ive decided it will always be a slice of cream layer cake with a cherry in there to me. (Black Forrest

). I just cant get past seeing food everywhere I look.
Golden Touch - Hope you are ok, and just wanted to say that the bead you chose is really special.
Daisy Lorraine- The idea of the retired beads selling for so much really points to sellers being so greedy. Im glad that you can get them from normal sellers who are still making a decent profit.
Izzy`s Mum- Great Haul!!!!

And I LOL about your not wanting to go down the 14K path of Pandora! It is a slippery slope indeed which I am sort of on myself. And whats really weird is Im a sworn white gold girl.....havent even looked at yellow gold for about 10 years!!!!!!! I have had every piece of jewellery either made or replated to white gold or silver like yellow was a plague. But Pandora`s gold is really pretty....
Pandoraaahh - I saw someone wearing the gold filigree bead (on a gold bracelet) and it looked really amazing. I havent seen it on the silver bracelet.
And fwiw, my 6 y. old looks so gorgeous with her tiny Pandora. I will take a photo. You would be surprised at all the people who noticed it. The pandora really has a quality about it that just shines through.
