My new beads

I've gotten quite a few new beads lately, and wanted to use all of them in one bracelet. There are a few here I already had, added to make a full bracelet, but most are new and making their debut here! It was interesting to me to see how well I thought they all went together.....

Wow! That looks like quite a haul! Are the quartz and pearl new? Either way...luuuucky gal!! Love the ooaks at around 9, 11, & 1 o'clock and esp that turquoise w yellow floral quilt at 1! But the ooaks you have on here are all so unusual!! Say, how do you like the mountain flower compared to the other small silvers?

Oooh, I really like your cosy, and is that stone near the bottom right a lab?

Like a flower bed in full bloom

Thank you! It wasn't until I put this bracelet together that I realized I obviously have a "thing" for the lattice or quilted design beads!!! The pearl and labadorite are not new, as are several of the others. I had to fill up the bracelet though, I don't like to wear mine when not full.

I wasn't sure how I would like Mountain Flower, but now that I have one I think I will be getting a couple more over time. It has a nice weight for a small bead. And it looks totally different to me depending on how it lands on your wrist at any given time! I think I will be using them a lot!

All are beautiful, but I am drawn the the lab . . . it is a beauty!

Thank you! I ordered it online and therefore could have gotten a dud, but I like it!

Well it is CERTAINLY no dud . . . great bead.

Great beads and a fantastic Lab!!! Congrats!!

Thanks everyone for the comments on the lab. I was also pleasantly surprised with my Cozy when it came. Same thing, I ordered from an online retailer and could have gotten one without much "life" but it seems to be a good one.
