Newbie's newbies!

 Hi everyone and thank you for the warm welcome to my introduction post

It was my birthday yesterday and I spent the evening playing with my gorgeous new beads - Nightingale from my lovely husband and Leopard from my lovely parents   (while eating the equally gorgeous chocolate birthday cake with chocolate chunks and chocolate buttercream made by my lovely mother!) And just to make my day even lovelier, my recent eBay win (the retired Goose) arrived too!







(apologies for the sideways pic, not sure what happened there!)

I'm off to the Trollbeads convention on Sunday with a friend (who I indoctrinated) and my mother (who indoctrinated me!) so I think October's going to be a bit of a bumper bead month...

Wow! Welcome.
This is a beautiful bracelet

I still love seeing the Peacocks. The only older bird bead that I have is the Rooster.

Lovely new beads. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! It sounds like you had a great one.

Love your bracelet - has a cool enchanting feel to it. The nightingale is one of my favorite beads.

Hi there! like the way you used those lambs! It's very sweet.

Happy b-day! Lovely beads. Retired geese is one of my favorite beads too!

I agree also, great birthday presants, and that cake sounds a yum yum.

absolutely love all of your combos. totally what i would do, but you have done them better!

Happy Birthday!
Gorgeous beads!

Happy Birthday  - beautiful presents and combos
