Trollbead addiction

They've become my new obsession! I have over $300 worth of them in my shopping cart the other day and had to hurry up and shut the browser down because I did something rash, l ol

Tell me about it!
I really want a few things, but it will have to wait. I already had my december holiday/february birthday/march tax refund rush, so until next time, I am going to have to buy them the old fashioned way; with my savings!
 
I have the best FI ever... he took me to a new trollbeads store today, and we probably stayed there for a whole hour, he looked over all of them with me. the shopkeepers were sooo patient and pleasant, they were also both collectors! one had been collecting for 8 years!! the store had a promotion where if you bought the black diamond flower and joyful bead, you get a free agate (?) bead, but I really really did not like the new stock of joyful. comparing it to the shopkeeper's own, original joyful, it's so crude and lacks elegance. too bad, because I would've loved to buy the set otherwise!

FI liked the black diamond flower, and he surprised me by purchasing it for me! I was taking out my wallet and he stops me, just a gift for no reason. :D

you do have the best FI!! how sweet of him and your bracelet looks so nice already. looks perfect with your beautiful lily ring!!
 
I have more than enough beads for a full bracelet, but I prefer the look of a mini-bracelet... kind of a shame to leave out some favorites, but oh well, just better switch them more often! and thanks!

Your bracelet looks lovely. I love your new bead! I only wear a few beads at a time as well. I have the day off today, I am going to change up my bracelet right now!

That looks gorgeous!!!
 
Our local jewelry store sells these pens that have beads already on them but can be swapped out with Troll. I thought it might be a good idea to use some of the beads I have that haven't made it on to a bracelet. I got one for me and one for my daughter.

I like how it came out! They are heavy though, phew, lol Here are two pictures, one as they come and the next with me replacing them out for some Troll silvers and azure bubbles.

Here is a fun bracelet. A rooster and a hen, plus WT Australia Reef bead and Triple Pearl.
Just wearing a few beads . . . along with the Big Flower lock.

Got the Reef bead right off the world tour.
I had traveled to Australia many many years ago so I really wanted it as the trip was memorable for the Great Barrier Reef and trip to Sydney and the Rainforest. The bead is my color and the design appeals to me. Such a good job they did on WT Australia.
I am also pleased with that lock!
