Smiley arrival :D!

A sweet fairy (I think you know who ) remembered I posted once (long ago) how much I would love to add a smiley to my bracelet and look what arrived in the post today! Like so often, your parcel arrived at exactly the right time, sweet fairy. I just came back from handing in my last paper for this period, which was horror (both the writing and cycling at top speed to hand it in in time ) and now I'm sitting here, slowly relaxing and smiling back at my sunny new friend! Thank you again for thinking of me fairy xxx

I hope you like the combo I tried to build around my smiley! (Disclaimer: the colours are a lot lighter in real life but lack of light made it impossible to photograph true to colour.)













For those interested: (from left to right) bicone (stamped GLAD), green dot (retired), brown bud (retired), mossy jasper, etruscan, 'goldylocks' ooak, milky quartz, angles tip (retired), smiley!, two sides to everything, labradorite (blue/green flash), orange armadillo (retired), german LE clover, chai bud (retired), tupilak mouth (retired) (and freya knot lock).

You lucky smiley you... The colors are wonderful and bright.

smileys make me smile too.... so special!

Oh yes its a wonderful smiley and he feels lucky on your bracelet.

Ah, that's a cheery bracelet!

And thanks for naming all the beads, I appreciate that. I usually try to test myself and name all the beads, but I still miss a lot.

Your labradorite is a real pretty one.

How wonderful to receive the smiley at at the end of a challenging day! You used it beautifully in your combo.

Thanks for your nice comments everyone ! Yes, smileys just make you smile.

Sil and LindaJo, I was lucky enough to pick up the jasper and labradorite at an LD in my city just before the price increase last August. The jasper was part of a left over set and the labradorite stood out against all other beads in its box because of its flash .

You certainly had a lucky day. A wonderful bracelet, a smiley and a dillo.
