Flashback Friday

Today, as I was sat at my desk sniffing my OHM bead box that arrived this week (it's scented... I haven't totally lost the plot) I was contemplating the bracelets I made this time last year.

It's not surprising that they are still on my mind as I've recently received the new Trollbeads Collectors Case and I was quite gobsmacked, usually being a make and break bracelet kind of a woman, to note that nearly all of those bracelets are still made up in a similar form to how I put them together last October!!

My bracelet from last October

I love the colours in this and the combination of beads that I've been wearing it all year round, for a year!! The only change is that I needed Lenny (my main Skelly) for my 1st incarnation of my Spirit in the Sky bracelet so off he came and Snails in Love was substituted as a focal.

I adore Halloween, not for the holiday, but for the fact that often brands come out with Halloween themed beads (as they see them) that I enjoy ALL year round.

I've just had a delivery of quite a few new beads for this year's bracelet, thanks to an abandoned holiday, but I'm not sure I'm ready to break this one up yet... although I do need quite a few beads from it for the new one!

What will you be wearing this October?

Post Card #flashback - Winter Beach Bracelet (finally)


To finish this particular Post Card #flashback Series I will end on the finale of my Winter Beach Bracelet journey, 6 months from initial idea to final bracelet.


This was the point where I finally cracked the design... and if you think it looks a bit familiar, it's because it's the one I would save out of all others.  

Extra points for knowing where I wrote about that!

Thanks for popping by to read my Post Card Series - I'll see you all next week!

Post Card #flashback - Festival Jewellery 2013


Wearing beads at a (muddy) festival is a bit of a no no for me.  The nice green fields you are seeing were the golf course on the opposite side of the river, this is taken from the bridge.  The other side looked a bit less tranquil!

How to wear great jewellery in a field!

For once there are no beads in this post!

This was a continuation of the previous post, although a couple of months after the original...

Prototype Bracelet

I couldn't get that original bracelet idea out of my head!

Post Card #Flashback - Winter Walks 2013


This was a post I wrote for a Jewellers Blogger Competition.

Valentine's Day

This is the first and only blogging competition I've ever entered and I really enjoyed the challenge - it actually led (eventually) to a pretty spectacular bracelet - after several remakes and modifications!

Post Card #Flashback - Greece 2012


The first trip abroad with my trollbeads; but I couldn't decide what to take...

Trollbeads on Holiday

Always one to write things down I blogged about my dilemma!

Post Card #Flashback - Holiday in Wales 2012


Well first up is a very early post from August 2012, I'd only been blogging a month when I headed off to Wales...


I didn't have many Trollbeads back then but I did have a specific idea of what I wanted to do with them.
