Thanks for the tip!! I did order one, and the free Baby's Breath w/purchase they're offering right now sweetens the pot tremendously!

I like cozy and traces, but will have to see them IRL before I decide to buy. I don't have a chalcedony yet, that may be a buy for me. Don't know why they seem to repeat themes they already have. I'd sure like to see some other designs!

Thank you for the pics, I think..... Now I had to change my wishlist to add two green jaspis

Aaargh, now I have to check out the beads. I love a few of the glass.

Thank you Swisstroll for these pictures ... Purse is less thrilled...

beautiful photos - very interesting to see real pics of the beads - my store is still closed because of vacation

The blue glass beads look fantastic...especially on that last photo against the black.

THanks so much! Love your new beads!

Thanks so much for the photos swisstroll seeing all the variety is wonderful. I'll probably be buying online so you really helped me work out what to go for (I usually just jump straight in and see nicer ones later and regret it haha!!). You picked some lovelies!

The beads that you chose are perfection swisstroll. I like the way that you have managed to get blues that work together well, rather than ending up with one very pale and one very dark group.

Thanks for the great pictures Swisstroll How lovely to have so many to choose from. You picked some beauties

I just got back from the LD.
They had the Oktoberfest beads, so I picked one from the 4 that they had. Amzing how they came be different!
It is a universal core, but I am happy to have something German because I did not love the WT Germany, and I missed out on the German Clover.

WOW Swisstroll, what a great pics and lovely beads you have choosen.

Maybe I do need to visit my LD tomorrow.... (hell there goes my selfcontrol)

I hate the dancing silvers, feel very un troll like, looks like it should be on a Pandora.

Nice!! There are several beads I like. Thank you so much for the pictures.

Anyone else disappointed with the new releases.. I have found no interest in the last few releases. Some of the spirtitual beads are nicely designed but they are two small and nothing has been different in the colleciton that has made me say... I go to have it.

I liked them better in person than I liked the online pics but despite the larger size still found the detail on the zodiacs difficult to work out in some of them. I'll buy a few at some point but for today I was able to show some self restraint and walk away.

I do like the blue beads and it's kit set and the moonstone and stones

Have been to another shop yesterday (28.08.): they had the new beads not on display but kept away in the back of the store, still in their zip lock bags, as "we do not know, when we will be allowed to sell them"
Although I finally had a look, I did not buy anything......

So here's a question about the new release: why are the chinese zodiac animals in category 4 when they're not bigger or heavier than the normal zodiacs and porcupine (which are in category 3) for example?

Creeping price inflation.

Yeah that would be my best guess as well... just realized that the LE chinese zodiac were in this same price category is these new ones, but just before the latest price increase. It's just so much money for a little piece of silver Although I'd probably pay it anyway someday...

I saw the new release today IRL. I didn't care for most of the silvers. I thought the playing cards was a nice bead, but don't know if I will get it. I didn't think the chinese zodiac silvers were detailed enough. I thought the pig and snake were the best of those beads.

I loved the faceted chalcedony and will purchase that some time. The other new gemstones were ok. The green jasper reminded me a bit of the blue tiger eye but in green. The 3 zebra jaspers they had were all very different from each other.

The glass was really picked over. They were out of cozy and dreams. I didn't love any of the other blues or new reds. I thought I would like the scarlet dillo, but the 3 they had weren't good ones so I will wait to find the right one for me.

They were also out of the silver baby breath bead. The manager told me they only had them as a promotion for the weekend the new release came out, but that they will be released in November.

No sign of the Bavaria bead and no one there knew anything about it.

Not crazy about the glass kits (I do like "Cozy" though) but I love the Dragon! Definitely adding that to the collection!
