Wow! Thanks for the photos Mini Gnome, I really need that bird now I've seen it on a bracelet! I wonder what the UK price will be?

Thanks for the pics! The bird is a MUST for me! And the glass you chose are wonderful too!!! Can it be next weekend already? The sellers here won't sell them before release date, I'm afraid...
I'd love to get some in Amsterdam though Very Happy

I can't wait to see the new beads. Unfortunately though all my local LDs only get the glass kits at first and won't split them. They usually take several weeks to get in individual beads!

I feel for you, sounds like a really silly way of doing business if you ask me... Wink

Thats exactly what I think. They offer a reward scheme though and you get a stamp on a loyalty card each time you buy a bead. Once you have bought 8 beads you get a free one. If it wasnt for this I would probably go elsewhere. I only need a couple more stamps on my card and with all the beads I'm planning to buy I'll be due my free one. So, worth the wait, kind of...

Cool, which is your LD? (PM me if you don't feel comfortable saying it here)

I had a loyalty card for Carole Annes, got a fair few stickers on it, but it has slipped behind my fireplace, and it would mean BIG work to retrieve it Crying or Very sad

It's Swag. I know a lot of people were annoyed with them after the recent sale problems but I have only ever found them to be really helpful and I always go there.

Thank you for sharing your pics. It really is amazing how different the beads can look from the stock photos. I didn't particularly care for any of the glass beads but now really like the firefly bead. Hoping that the coral beads are more of an orange. That is more of a fall color to me...and working on an orange bracelet!

I had a Carol Anne Loyalty Card but they stopped it, don't think you can even trade in your stickers now Crying or Very sad

Not sure about the bird now, I had assumed it would be the other way up like a parrot or owl. Will wait to see it I think.

Love the bird. It's a definate now I've seen these pics. TFS. Very Happy

by Trollpetal Sat Aug 20, 2011 11:20 pm

thank you for the photos Mini Gnome- i love the bird and the flower clouds glass Very Happy

Love the new beads! Can't wait to see them in real life. Very Happy

Just visited a dealer who was most surprised I'd seen the new release. She was a little bit up in the air as the Aust distributor has recently changed at very short notice. Will not be getting the new beads. That makes 3 dealers I know. The new glass beads look ok but will have to wait to see. There doesn't appear to be an obvious theme or relationship. All one offs. Maybe I need to see them to see a connection. But ..... love that bird.

by Lavender Sun Aug 21, 2011 3:05 am

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw the new glass beads. I like some of them and might buy 2 or 3 (the purple dillo for sure) but I miss the kit idea.

by neonfiller Sun Aug 21, 2011 3:25 am

Thanks for the photos. I really like the look of the bird now! It makes more sense than the stock photo. I can't wait to see these IRL!

by harmony Sun Aug 21, 2011 4:04 am

Thanks for the photos Mini Gnome, so much better to see the beads on a bracelet.

by Merlyn Sun Aug 21, 2011 12:37 pm

Brilliant pics Mini Gnome!! I love Flower Clouds, it looks as if its on a cream base which is right up my street! I wasn't at all sure about the bird because of the weird "stalk" in the stock pic but it looks much better on your bracelet. Lucky you getting in on the act ahead of time!!!! cheers

by capesandra Sun Aug 21, 2011 3:26 pm

thanks mini gnome for sharing the photos! i'm going to my LD today. i've been told i can at least have a LOOK at them. better than nothing and it will only make me want them MORE!

That is what I did yesterday and the ones I had to have have gone on my wish list replaced by
ones I cannot live with out. The bird and waves are my must have silvers and the blue tigers eye I may need multiples of. ( one for now though as lately bead funds are going out faster then they are coming in)

by cswan Sun Aug 21, 2011 6:26 pm

I just saw that the rolling waves people bead has been released for sale as of Friday Aug. 19 by trollbeads universe. I also saw it for sale on an online trollbeads website for $59.
