Winter Narcissus

My bead buying has been very few and far between in the last few months and that's good because I am much more choosy now and only buy what I really love. (Actually, even if I see a TB unique I really love, I DON'T buy it because frankly I refuse to pay $46 for one mass-produced Trollbead...no matter how seemingly artistic) Most of my purchases are pre-loved.

That being said, I still love artisans and there are some REALLY special ones out there. I much prefer to support independent artists over paying exorbitant prices for brand names. Ok, so time to get off my soap box

Speaking of beautiful artisans...I grabbed this one from Birgit Landgraf/Summersday (her beads go fast) and it was the perfect pick-me-up on a cold, wet, grey winter day.

This bracelet represents the earliest days of Spring when sometimes you find green shoots and flowers poking through the snow

What a lovely fresh green spring bracelet. Your summersday bead is stunning and fits perfectly. I have some of her beads as well and love them dearly.

I love the soft yellows with the greens and whites

Lovely bracelet and new bead!  Really love the green!

This is gorgeous! We have the first snow drops and even the first daisies are poking their heads into the icy sun - but the earth is still solidly frozen in my garden and in my flower pots, tough those little flowers!

I dearly love Birgits beads and have a lot of her- your bracelet is stunning, elegant and so very happy! I love it!

I love your braslet! It is soo fresh! And thank you for the link to the shop. Can they shipp worldwide?

Beautiful
Your new artist bead is excellent.
Now I am longing for nature to turn green again in spring soon.

So gorgeous!

This is beautiful, so fresh.  It makes me long for spring.

A breath of fresh air on a cold, dismal winter day.......

Stunning!

perfect spring bracelet and your artisan bead is a beauty,

I keep watching the artisans, but I never see any lovely spring coloured bead, they somehow seem a bit behind...

So fresh and pretty! Perfect for a spring day. I agree with you on the $46 price. I don"t buy uniques anymore either.

Wow again, you gave really made my day!!
