Eating Crow

Or how I learned to love the new silvers    "Eating crow" is American for eating humble pie.

If you look back at the thread on the Spring 2015 release I made some snarky remarks about beads I didn't like. I was sure I would never want any of those bell-flared tube silvers.  Readers, I was wrong.

This bracelet will also give you a size comparison for Nadia's pearls (the brown one) vs. a TB; some of my TB pearls are smaller than the white one shown here.

I hate when that happens.  I think a bead is terrible, can't imagine who would want it...and then see it in person and have to have it!  

The barrel with the birds is one of my favorites from the last release.  It looks great on your bracelet!

I actually saw it in person several times and always thought "meh," and then I was somehow enchanted by it. I blame the BT bracelet photos!

This happened to me too and I like to be surprised (converted ) sometimes.

The shellpearl is beautifully made and has a stunning shimmer.

I like the flow of your bracelet with the different shapes and mix of metal and glass/stones. I like the new barrels, but I wish they had made them chunkier, they feel too light weight to me.

I think that happens to a lot of us - our tastes change, we see it from another angle....or we mull it over...it happens to me too.

Your combo is very pretty!!

looks delicious! this bracelet is super different and really cool. i'd wear it for sure (you know, if you get tired of eating crow

I have eaten crow in relation to TBs on a number of occasions! Great saying!

I'm eating crow too. I originally thought the Jewel Of The Sea was too cute for me, but stated that my sister would love it, which she does. But I ended up loving it too and purchased it. And I'm so glad I did. It is whimsical and fun to wear. Your new beads are beautiful.

this has happened frequently to me, and this time exactly with the same beads... first I did not love them that much and once I saw them here, they really grew on me and now I love them, your bracelet is really lovely!

and thank you for that cool expression "Eating Crow"

This has happened to me, too, and I actually love when it does (I love surprises plus bead-diversity so double good ) - so I would say better pet the crow than to eat it

by the way, your brown pearl is gorgeous.

Wonderful expression !  Happens to me all the time 

Nardias pearls !  My new obsession !  Unfortunately as hard to grab as sought after Uniques

When I got mine the olive & rose were all sold out, but fortunately for me the brown was the only one I wanted. I didn't realize how lucky I was.

It does have a great contrast to it I haven't seen it in person yet, but I can see how you would be won over.

Beautiful beads!

It always surprisesme when you can suddenly change your likes and dislikes of trollbeads x I hated flower beads and funnily I have quite a few now! Lol beautiful combo x
