Promises to keep

While browsing through my old faerybeads posts, I found this line

The lock and vertebrae are awesome, I'm definitely going to get the dragon scales as well.

Well I wrote that over a year ago and I think it's high time to act    so I finally ordered the bead as a b-day gift for myself. Can't wait to see it in person, I love this pattern so much.

Awesome!! I still have a long wishlist too!!
But we need to do renewing things in the house first!

So this week was my Birthday and here's what I treated myself to



The wonderful faerybeads dragon scales - I promised to get this one and finally did. I've been waiting to take some decent pictures as the weather was drab all week long   so I took my birthday flowers as a background. Here's the bead in action, it replaced a similar one from a different brand and - I know it gets old - but here's now my really finished dragon bracelet. This one means so much to me    (sorry for the mobile picture, my camera is out of order.   )

Belated Birthday wishes from Switzerland, dear Minty, hope you enjoyed your day and that you got many pressies!

Love your Dragon Combo, very powerful, you are now protected and shielded against almost anything, your Dragon Scales really made it complete! and the lock is to this day the very best lock I've ever seen, followed by the other 2 FaeryLocks
enjoy your beautiful combo, it is truly beautiful!

hooray! what a great word to keep, that bead looks great!

minty, love the texture on your new dragon scales. While your bracelet is Devine.

I wish you all the very best for for your B-Day - and you did yourself right by gifting yourself these powerful scales - Beautiful bracelet!

Thank you all dear ladies I've got lots of sweets and treats from my family which will surely result in some 'Hüftgold' ... or 'love handles' (I had to look that one up)

Congratulations Minty! I loved seeing your bracelet evolve and turned out just beautiful. Enjoy!

All my best wishes to you in future and enjoy your beautiful gift and bracelet !!!!

Thank you dears The texture is so great, I love rolling the bead in my fingers This is the combo that evolved since I got my first TB on my birthday two years ago. Now I think I'm slowly starting a faerybeads collection.

 It took me quite a while to realize that the swirl design on one of the sides is actually 3 dragon heads like on the greyhoun lockd... I love this bead so much... and I got it from daddy

Fabulous birthday present. Such a lovely bead and it looks perfect on your marvellous bracelet

Lovely bracelet, dragon scales is one of my favourite beads.
