Two of the glass beads I was really excited about were the two new faceted glass beads, Saffron and Masala. They finally helped me solve a personal mystery in why I didn't love Royal Orange when it was released (orange glass faceted bead with glitter). Royal Orange is encased in clear glass; whilst these are encased in colour. That seems to be the detail that tips the scales between don't like and love!

I genuinely hope that this is the start of more to come with even more stunning colourways for this style of bead, a deep purple encased in red, or red in a hot pink, or hot pink in purple... you get my drift!
As regular readers will already know I've been using these 2 beads on my current bangles from this week...
They are very versatile and I can't wait to get more next week, until then I still continue to pop them onto random bracelets and bangles just to see what the outcome is.

Ironically before the Fall Collection was revealed I was planning to add more oranges and yellows to my collection, I think with these and the pods I may just have achieved my aim.
