My SWAG swag....

I went to SWAG in the Glades, Bromley yesterday - they had 40% off some of their beads and 17cm bracelets, and this is my haul! The blue desert was full price, but has a lovely golden streak through it...



I just need to find a home for them on a bracelet now

I can help you with that.

I need to go to Swag, I have a gift voucher and a nearly full loyalty card !

Good catch!! Congratulations

Lovely...the blue dessert is amazing...I can see why you picked it up and made it your own!

Looks great... !!!

Great grab!

Just love a sale, great beads

Thank you! The SWAG in Bromley is great for trollbeads! Sadly, the one in Kingston has reduced its display down to a few beads in the window....

After sitting on a bus for an hour I found that out today. I was hoping they had the world tour beads but no such luck. I even popped into John Lewis, I really don't know where else to go now

Lewins is small jewellers in Sutton - they have a good range and are really helpful. They will get things in for you too. Swag in Croydon is a bit better than Kingston, but Bromley is definitely best. the Beaverbrooks there is good too.

Hopefully these are not too far for you, Shia?

Did they have any gold in the sale?

It was back in April - i don't recall seeing any

Looks great x

Thank you AquaAura, I will check out the routes on TFL's journey planner .

are you really planning a trip from cambridge to bromley! they do have gold and silver in the beaverbrooks sale, is there one in bromley?

Congratulation to your novels and I am sure you will find the right place for them on your bracelet.

Bum ! Bum ! Bum ! Still haven't got to Swag to spend my voucher and I was planning to go to Kingston while I was up that way visiting Mum. Anyone know if the one in Staines is worth a visit ?

Yes - they were lovely and very keen to promote trollbeads! There is also a Pia which has some nice rings and bracelets ........

I decided I would just get lost trying to find somewhere to park in Staines so I went to Kingston.

They had quite a few of the recently retired beads in the sale and I wanted to get some duplicates so that worked out well for me. I spent my voucher and even managed to get them to stamp my loyalty card although he refused to do one for every bead I had bought as he said they didn't give stamps for discounted beads
I had a little moan about the lack of stock, but the manager wants to go all upmarket and concentrate on diamonds, tbh I think 1 or 2 keen Trollies buying 2 or 3 beads a month (who am I kidding, how many of us only buy 2 or 3 beads a month ! ) would make him more money than selling an expensive diamond once in a blue moon !
