Bracelet that start my bead addiction

I love this site and seeing everyone’s beautiful bracelets. So I decided to make my first post and share the bracelet that started me down my bead addiction. All beads on this bracelet are Trollbeads with a few that have retired since I originally put it together.

Trollbeads were my first bead addiction but over the years have collected other beads as well which is why I enjoy this site so much. It is great seeing all the different artisans, designers, and types of beads.

Welcome from Switzerland!

I really adore your bracelet, the good old beads that started my love for TB too! Beads, Silver and Glass were then so much more beautiful as we can all see from your great combo!

I love this forum very much, I have learned a lot here, especially that there are other great beadmakers, (my poor purse) met people with an open mind and there is always great comradship!

Nice to have you here, enjoy yourself and please show us more of your beads and combos!

welcome i really like your bracelet, love the dots

Yep, bead addiction is more contagious than flu. Great beginning!!! Your bracelet is beautiful!!!

Hi and a warm welcome! It is so good to see the blue and turquois dot beads in action!! I love those beads and your bracelet is so wonderful and kind of sentimental in a very good way!

Lovely! A very classic and beautiful combination - so many wonderful old beads

Welcome!! Beautiful bracelet. Hard to keep from buying when you see all the beautiful combos here. All the collectors on this site are awesome.

Hello and from Japan.

A warm welcome xo...I love your bracelet...will shamelessly plagiarise that one definitely...How long have you been collecting?

Thanks for the warm welcome. It’s been fun receiving the International replies. I keep updating my husband on the locations of everyone.

Jules – I’ve been collecting beads since 2009. I keep telling myself I’m “done” but something new always comes up. The TB Spring 2013 release made a nice dent my wallet. Each bead from the Rocky Beach collection looks so unique and beautiful. Then I discovered Faerybeads from this forum and I’m speechless. The detail and artistry of Sita Edema’s beads are beyond words. So, I’m not sure when I’ll be done with my bead addiction.

Engel and Hisae – thanks for the comments on my avatar. It’s a picture of Charlie, my golden retriever. He’s as sweet as he is handsome. It tried to get a cool picture of one of my cats wearing a bead necklace. Unfortunately, they don’t appreciate beads. My avatar would have had a picture of a cat rolling on the floor with beads flinging all around!

Welcome to the forum and what a lovely bracelet it is, that started you off on this lovely journey into the Trollworld
