Friendship bracelet

Today I had a 'Happy Swap Day' as my swap buddie announced in her cute card (no mystery who it is when you see the pic...)

It's a bead I'd have never bought on my own as it has such a special meaning, but I also think it's strange to ask for it as a present as it has to be given freely.
But when it was offered by a Trollfriend as a swap for other beads, I thought it was a good way to get it as a symbol for the wonderful Troll Friendship I experienced over the years with all you Trollies!
So I made this rather eclectic bracelet which has a lot of beads on it that I received from several secret exchanges, swaps and from dear friends. I paired them with my favourite glassbeads and here it is:

I love that combo and am glad you got your bead and from BD too!! Yay!

I plan to buy it myself - I never realized it was a bead to be given in friendship. I shall make friends with myself then!!

I love your bracelet--nothing has to "match" and all of the beads have a special meaning! Very nice gift from BD!!

Excellent I love using my friendship bead.. bit like my o's and x's they are tiny but there is a meaning behind them.. The friendship bead I use a lot as a centre focal point.. it feels right.

Love your bracelet and the meaning behind it makes it so much more special!

It`s a beautiful bracelet and a beautiful storry.

This is my favourite style. No worries about being all one colour. I have a very small collection, if what i have even qualifies as a collection, but most of the beads I have were chosen for a reason. I look at my bracelet and it is full of memories.

Lovely bracelet, how beautifull that it is filled with beads that mean so mutch more to you....i sure like your seagrass, i haven't seen one yet, but it's one that go's on my wishlist
