absolutely beautiful bracelet!!! can't wait to see how your 2nd looks like...looks yummy and chocolate-licious already!! what is the first bead on the left? I can't make it out on this computer monitor!
Thank you!
Do you mean on my bracelet? That's an organic stripe.
On the stick it's a Brown Desert.
Ok so I went to the place that has the Trollbeads, about an hour away and it was so much FUN!! All these beads I've only seen online I got to see in person. My first impression was that wow, the glass beads are small. In pics I thought they'd be large and chunky, bigger than the glass muranos but that wasn't so. Also, two of the same beads could have different coloring, different size, one fatter than the other, etc. If I hadn't already ordered some beads from BeadznBagz I would have just got them in store, but hopefully my order will come through and soon.
I was also surprised at how expensive the silver beads were, the small plain silver beads were like $47 for several that I liked and I asked her why and she said due to the amount of silver in there, something like 9.8 or somesuch? So I don't know, I may have to get the silver beads from Pandora and the glass beads from Trollbeads, but I did get the silver crab and the sea treasures one while I was there.
I picked up a bracelet with a fish clasp for both me and my daughter, we're both going to do a beachy them. Plus I have the bracelet/mexican lock combo I ordered that I'll do my earthy theme with.
Phew!

The silvers can definitely be pricey and that's why we go nuts when someone is clearing their stock. Also, some stores offered a buy 3 get 1 free deal so if you have your lists organized by price, you could by 3 of one price and get a 4th bead in that price free.
I think how events are done is changing this year. 3 National events a year and we have no idea what the promos are going to be yet. The first one is supposed to be Valentine's, so coming up soon!

So, are the promos done online and does any retail location that has Trollbeads participate?
I found out that Trollbeads At The Commons is doing buy 3 get a 4th free! That is going to be my birthday gift to me, since my birthday is the 21st of February. And we can order online, no problem!
Yep me too. I have one more bead coming in, and I am done. My SO's family is buying me one for my birthday, and when my sister comes out I might get us matching beads, and then I am going to have to wait it out for awhile!
Bower beads has a dragon lock that is very cool looking. If you are on BT, they are in the works of making a dragon lock through the startup company Faerybeads that looks absolutely amazing.
