Rekindled Love for Trollbeads

I have been criticizing TB for a long time and still have some grudge against them for not giving us nice trollish and good quality beads and also for being unimaginative at times.
But I have to admit now, with all those beautiful small beads and the Trollbeads-day-bead, they have made again points with me, I still love my older beads very much and with the nearing fall release I already prepared a bracelet to wait for them...
The first bracelet contains some re-homed beads, and I love them to bits, this bracelet I have been wearing for weeks now, transformation bead will be exchanged by labyrinth once I get it and then it will be perfect for me.
The large square bead is by Barbara Maria, also re-homed bead and it has different sides, there were only 100 beads made and my number is 22, lucky for me, my birthday is on the 22nd of march.

the second bracelet was just done for the pure joy of mixing those lovely s/b, this morning my EvilEye from D4E arrived, ever so fast and I am completely over the moon with it, for me an absolute treasure bead    

hope you like my combos!

Oooh gorgeous and perfectly expressing my own mood but you have MUCH nicer beads. Gasp! Jealousy!

ah BB, I doubt that I have the nicer beads *lol* but thank you for your compliment!    

I can see why your fire has been rekindled.

Ok Catswolrd, were do I star from?????

   Evil Eye
   Longevity
   Ruby
   Orange ornament
   The strange blue fish... I don't recall the name
   The squid
   and on and on and on

If you show us these beauty we will burn with envy! I agree with you, the evil triplet are really wonderful, a pity that they have been obscurated by the Autumn release! Lovely combos!

I am emitting lust and greed and envy towards your Evil Eye, oh dear, and it's saying 'tut tut, no, no...' and reflecting it back at me and my head's going to explode!   

Um, I like your Evil Eye.   

Congrats on your Evileye   
Old treasures and new lovelies, that make a fabulous combo   
I wish the s&b were all available as single beads.

I feel the love also. I love the black and orange bead   

Gorgeous bracelets! Love, love, love your orange ornament!

So pleased you have found the love again

I love your happy bracelets.   lots of treasures

Love them all. The evil eye is perfect as are so many others.

Wonderful - a true treasure trove - I can totally dig why the love has returned - and with a vengeance, too

I am very glad to see that your love for trollbeads seems to come back and you are expressing this
in your beautiful bracelets  . It is a joy to look at your wonderful beads!!!!!!

I love your choice of beads! so so beautiful!

Thank you so much for your lovely comments!    you make me blush a bit   

However, I don't want anyone to be envious or head explosions,   
that is not my intention,
so I will refrain from showing you more treasures, and there certainly are some, the most precious tiny treasures, the limited chinese glass beads, and those that are still travelling from far places to me     

anyway, whose fault is it that I am buying so much? right! it is YOU, you are showing all the time the most beautiful beads and then I get itchy all over!

I have been looking at the new fall release very closely, there are some treasures for sure, the one's I will get will all go on pre-made bracelets,
in one week I got holidays and will sort my bracelets and do the inventory... haunting task ..... 

forgot,

the lovely fish bead is from the beginning of my collecting TB's, my local jeweller phoned me up and said she had some new beads, so I went and looked and bought some, but then I found some that were somehow set aside, she said... oh, the uglies that no one wants, it was the fish and the longevity, she gifted me the fish bead and it is one of my biggest treasures!      

....free fish  

she did not know Panda that they were special beads, nor did I know at the time as I was fairly new to TB   
and my local jeweller is one of my favourite dealers, always helpful, always very kind, at times I regret that I get beads from other dealers that are simply cheaper...so there are always 2 sides of it.

How lovely and what a wonderful reason to treasure those beads.

But what a lovely problem to have, my LD is John Lewis (dept. store). I don't feel the love when I check out their beads. But the LD near BB is lovely.

It is nice to see how you mixed the old with the new and also to see your special fish again. (I still have his twin and will have to get him on a bracelet.) And please don't refrain from showing us your treasures - we will be just fine

You've made some really nice combos there with some CLASSIC beads.
I agree, TB has made some nice releases just recently. Hope MORE to come!!!!!!!!!!

So glad to hear that your troll love has rekindled, Catsworld!

Your bracelets and those beads could re-kindle anyone's love of Trollbeads! And drive them insane with envy. But never stop showing them off, I think we are all capable of wiping off a little drool.
