CHRISTMAS collection is out.... 100 hearts

haha sorry, I had to let it out, I feel better now enjoy your cuppa

Oh Splinty....well said, well said!

I just like the trees on the production bead. I wonder if Trollbeads have some sort of staff that gives feedback to the company what the customer wants.
Also, I like the new bumpy uniques. I was able to snag a few for myself.

Collection made me yawn. For now, my wallet is safe.

(and the bows and the flowers and any lazy uninspired klonky designs or rehashed glass which you think becomes exciting with a random splodge of watery half-hearted glitter )

...but I did like lots in the Autumn Release, so I'll let you off (slightly)

Love your comment, really sums it up for me too ....come on troll, do something exciting and try thinking out of the box, next time

I've seen the Xmas release IRL and as expected didn't buy anything.
The hearts don't do it for me.
It was fun to chat with the sales girls about what a set of heads (cat/mouse/parrot) could represent for Christmas
Nevertheless, the blue glass set is pretty. Maybe I will get the light blue flowers later.

have seen them today irl too, hm... the cat, mouse and parrot are just pure horror, might however look nice on a Halloween bracelet,

The blue glass set looks nice I admit, the sales lady opened a set for me and I got the blue X-mas tree, and that will be all and it will be a very cheap Xmas for me then,
there will be several special packages, PB on a bangle and the new pretty flower on a FN or a starter bracelet, with the heart of course..
The sales lady told me, HEARTS go always and first... so it is somewhat our own fault that they produce so many heart!

Sounds like we might have bought the same bead.  Was it the tree with the dark blue background?

I was interested in the silver holly but it seemed thinner than I imagined.

The bead with the interlaced hearts is quite pretty (I will admit).

yes BB the dark blue background with the white tree, the silver holly I found too thin too and the sales lady was very much in love with the interlaced hearts, I would have preferred the snowballs if that is the correct name, don't remember....

I wanted to see the gold wishing star, my gold Never Ending I had ordered online, not one shop and I visited 3 had ordered the special gold beads, found that quite amazing. All said they will order gold beads only on demand.

I quite liked the snowballs too but resisted.

I wanted to see the sparkly cat.  See not buy - I will stress - because the price is stupid for a silver bead.  The LD didn't have it.  They only buy in the gold beads if customers pay in advance for them.

same here, sparkly cat wasn't in, but I am not interested in it, so that is good for me, not one bead company does a proper cat, very sad!

Strange isn't it?  I could be seduced by a whole bracelet full of gorgeous cat beads and nobody can be bothered to make a serious attempt to get hold of my money.

... and TB thought they could tempt all cat lovers with their sparkly diamond kitty

Faerybeads this sounds like you might be the only one up for this
I love my cats but I don't own a cat bead either for cats are glorious mysterious and mischievous creatures to capture in silver

I stopped by my LD to look yesterday.  They didn't order everything, but I thought the blue glass kit was very pretty.  I bought the tree with the dark blue background and the light blue one with the raised flowers.  The silvers were awful.  The cat head had a BOW on the back.  Ugh.  The store manager and I were also talking about how there weren't any nice cat beads, since we are both cat people.  I don't think they ordered the Moonlight Cat - probably too expensive, since they have been cutting back on their inventory.  The silver hearts were horrible, so kitschy.  Same for the bow lock.  So I got off pretty lightly.  I am looking forward to the Ageless Beauty being released in a few weeks, though.  I'm trying to decide if I should get two or just stick to one.
