OK, girls, still need your help, pretty please :-)
I've red somewhere about amazing store in BC Canada, and I totally lost it where I read it. I've tried to search through topics and could not find it. What kind of village is it, that is beautiful by itself, has trollbeads store and is close to border in BC Canada. Thank you!

Have you tried the store locator on trollbeads.com? I'm not familiar with Canadian geography, but you should be able to find it.

I did. I read somewhere a woman's opinion. I just did not keep it. She was missing some Trollbeads store in BC. And it seems BC, Canada has at least 6-8 stores. So, I can't pinpoint which one it was. Plus the village was an interesting place to visit.

The eye was from trollbeads, mailed it back. I was dark blue, no light watered down blue around the eye itself. And sakura was from Perlen. I've ordered few times from them (not glass beads), no problems. So mailed it back too.
Now, I am really cautious of buying glass beads. I have Pandora muranos for over 4 years, and they are sturdy... They do vary, but not as much as I saw with "the eye".

The glass beads from Trollbeads may vary in colour (pictured vs in real life). As much as possible, it's best to see them in person or at least from user photos/reviews to compare.

You are right. I looked through many bracelet. And I actually strongly suspect, they mail me a wrong bead. There is a similar bead, but it is uniform color, with CZ or crystal specks in it. I am trying to find a shop in Canada now. It seems like in WA state nobody sells it. As fas as I know. One guy in South center mall carried some beads for very short time.

I got it from another forum, I was finally able to figure out where I saw it. Just a quote, to me, not mine.
"Tartooful is in Edgemont Village on Vancouver's North Shore. It's a great shop with a lovely owner and a really charming community that would be worth the drive to me. Cathy will probably have something planned and she has a whole community of TB customers who might be interested in some trades."

Yes, I mix several brands. I have a Troll bracelet with Troll, Pandora, and Redbalifrog bead. I have had Chamilia beads as well.

That's me as well. I'm wearing Troll bracelets with Troll, Pandora, Redbalifrog, and artisan beads on them. There we some outstanding artisan beads out there and they are very reasonably priced.

I went through my charms, and decided to make three themed bracelets. The first one is my Pandora, I'll keep it as a bunch of memorable charms (family and hobbies related).
The second one is going to be charms representing things I've visited while living in California. Most charms for this one are still on my wishlist, and are Ohmbeads, so I'll get a bracelet from that brand during next promotion.
And finally, I'd like to make a rainbow out of my TB bracelet. This one is a currently a mix of brands with Trollbeads, Pandora, and a few Ohmbeads spacers.
