the PANDORA Thread

[luckyduckybunny]

Yep, some jerk at work yesterday told me to stop spending my money on bracelets and to go take a vacation. I responded " hey! If my husband tells me to buy this because it makes me happy, well that's what I'm going to do!" She doesn't need to know that my underwear are falling apart, but I'd rather spend the money on a charm.
I have a feeling you ladies know the feeling ( except maybe not the undergarments part)!

Haha oh my gosh. My husband says things that sound just like that. He tells me he would like to see me in fancy clothes instead but I want my beads!!! lol Pandora got us good ladies....


And maybe she has a case of the green eyes monster. Sounds like a really stupid thing for someone to say.

Here is that other picture I saw.

The butterfly clips are growing on me. Does anyone else start to like beads that they originally did not? Like when I first started collecting Pandora I would have sworn I only liked 10 or so beads. And now a year and a half later I have 30 in my wish list and have collected 43 lol Does it happen to everyone?

Yep, there are lots of charms that I though were hideous, but after having them burned in my brain I just had to have them. The beehive charm was one of them, but now instead of staring at it with hate I lovingly touch the lil bees and smile.

They don't understand the joy we get from collecting and creating. Well for me as of yet i don't want to go on holiday unless I need to get away from the rat race and recharge my batteries. Collecting beads for me is like others people hobbies and interest. I don't regret the amount of money I've spent because I have had many years of enjoyment it hasn't been a passing fad so for that its been very worth it for me.

There's some beads where photos don't do it justice and so end up quite sure that I wouldn't buy it list. Then when i see it in real life it looks so much nicer then ends up in the must have list.

I saw this on pinterest today and I am loving it. I think I am going to get both color butterfly's and pair them together. They look like they are really rich and deep colors.
Anyone else thinking of getting some? They go great with the purple fascinating, I saw a picture of that too.

I love those butterfly muranos. They will look great on my garden themed bracelets. I'll buy them later on in the spring since I am planning to finish my travel/beach themed bracelets for the promo at the end of March.


Butterflies don't seem all that popular with the other ladies at the moment, but I love butterflies so why wouldn't I like the charms. I do wish they would do a dragonfly murano though, to compliment the two tone dragonfly charm which is gorgeous.

Umm sounds like they still using delaying tactics to wear you out so that you would get fed up and leave it. They are so bad

It is pretty annoying. They said it sometimes takes 3-5 weeks for items to reach them from Canada. They shipped to me with no tracking number or front-door delivery and it only took a week and a half, so it sounds like a load to me!

This made me lol! Know exactly what you mean! I need new socks but can't be arsed to get any, but will happily spend money (I don't really have) on Pandora stuff

 

[andrhearhea]

Thanks. I really did not mean to offend anyone and as I read it again it did come out wrong. Sorry ladies.

Don't be sorry! I wasn't offended. I guess it's difficult to guess one another's tone over the internet! No hard feelings here

Oh that is a nice charm. They should make a honey pot to go with the bee charms lol like pooh's honey pot. I'm sure so many would love it.

Don't feel bad, I like to garden and go to the local Goodwill to buy pre-owned sweatshirts and the like. People I know look at me sideways for doing it. Especially when I'm wearing a couple of Pandora bracelets! Why would I want to buy brand new stuff just to get it all muddied up (I garden like I paint, horrendous mess).


I think I must fall under the category of Penny Wise and Pound Foolish: squeeze and squeeze the last bit of toothpaste from the tube but spend 150.00 on some Pandora charms!

Oh god, I want the dragonfly charm SO badly. I have dragonfly tattoos and my boyfriend called me his "little dragonfly". It's so expensive though. I've toyed with the idea of getting it during the promo but I'm not sure....

I should really plan out my wishlist before I go in there, or I'll end up buying the entire store!

That is a great idea! I would get some, now that I will have the butterflies soon. And then I would want the 2 tone dragonfly, that would be super cute. I love to see themed bracelets.


I wish Pandora would do like Trollbeads and let the fans design something once a year or so. That would be interesting for sure. I also wish they let you do custom beads some how. Not the whole bead cause that would obviously be very expensive. But they should offer some kind of choice on color or your name on a murano or something.

I've loved jewelry all my life. In high school i realized I really liked silver. When I became a nurse at 23 I turned to diamonds! That of course couldn't last very long, I had to learn the value of a hard earned dollar.
Here's a pic of my first big purchase. Yes I know it's an engagement ring, but I liked it so that's what I got! Friends gave me grief over it when I got it, and now 10 years later people are noe giving me grief about my pandora collection!
