OMG! Retired Trollbeads!!!!

As usual, I am up late, browsing around on the Internet, looking for Trollbeads ... and I just found that TrollbeadsGallery.com now has RETIRED TROLLBEADS listed for sale!! I have no idea how long they have been there, but I did just check around and it seems their prices are really good (as usual!) and are under the prices that I find at the few other places where I know retired Trollbeads are listed.

(I've got a thing for GREEN,in case you hadn't noticed, so anytime I have a choice, I pretty much will always choose the greeen!) :-)

I suggest that, if you are missing something that has become really hard for you to find, something retired, something special ... you might want to go for a visit!

Nighty night!

PS: Make sure to take a look at my new bracelet pictures on the right side. Some are really amazing! Those Unique/OOAK beads - (especially when mixed in with the GOLD that I got for my birthday!) - create amazing combinations!!

My Amazing Day

What until you hear what I was given for my birthday. Circumstances caused a delay in the gifts - no worries from me! - so I was just graced with the most amazing gifts!

Details to follow later!

.. More ... More ... More !!

Never enough, but ...

... once again, I just discovered more Unique/OOAK (One-of-a-Kind) beads over at TrollbeadsGallery! Look here and here! Ican't keep up with them (not that I mind!). Some really great ones posted there. The ones I didn't already get, that is. (Yes, it's true - I'm into the green ones. Could you tell?)

Sometimes it seems that they have a never-ending supply - which, at least as far as I'm concerned, is a GREAT thing!

They do a great job at keeping their listings fresh and showing new beads all the time. Actually, looking at the "already sold" section, you can see they sell a lot of them ... very quickly! No wonder I feel the need to visit several times a day. Geez!

Next Topic: eBay and Trollbeads

... or What I will lovingly call "The Good, The Bad, and The Snuggly"

Do you sell Trollbeads on eBay? Do you buy Trollbeads on eBay? Do you think you might be "the good," "the bad" ... or ... "the snuggly?" How do you rate yourself? How do you rate others? And, maybe even more importantly, how do your experiences help others when they are choosing who to "do business" with?

I'm going to share a bit about my own eBay experiences -- both with purchasing (or selling!) Trollbeads on eBay; and what I've learned along th eway.

As anyone would expect - there are good sellers, and ones that you might consider otherwise. That, however, is to be expected anywhere, whether it be online retailers, brick-and-mortar storefront sellers, or off of the back of a truck sellers. I won't be naming names, but I might just offer a bit of advice about who you might trust and what you could use as a yardstick when measuring any transaction.

Consider this just as a "teaser" to get the curiousity going. Maybe that's my curiosity, maybe yours. Check back later for a full-fledged "how-to" course on my own view and experiences on eBay.

New Unique/OOAK Beads at Trollbeads Gallery

Okay, so I did my standard "what's new check" of my favorite Trollbead sites a few minutes ago and I found something awesome! Of course, I thought about keeping the news to myself, but us Trollies have to stick together.

When I visited TrollbeadsGallery, I found that Santa must have been working really hard overnight! There are a whole bunch of new Unique/OOAK beads in both their Holiday section AND in the regular Unique/OOAK section!

Go check! Some are really really awesome! I'll race you there!

Cheers and happy shopping!!

Trollbeads Gallery - Has a Blog!

Hey, Folks! For those of you who have been visiting and viewing, and shopping at the best online Trollbeads retailer ... guess what!?

Trollbeads Gallery now has a blog!!!

That's awesome news and I'm hoping that they will be able to provide announcements for when they have new Unique/One-of-a-Kind beads! Their selection is always remarkable, but I'm always afraid that, if I don't "live" on their site, I might miss the opportunity for a really great, beautiful and wonderful bead -- and that one of you other Troll Hounds might be the one who gets it!

May the best Troll win! Or at least the most determined!

Tricky Christmas Trolls!

I got an email from Trollbeads.com and it had a link that directed me to a section of their website to view stuff about their little "Tricky Christmas Trolls!"If you subscribe to and receive Trollbeads' newsletter, you probably got this email, too.

They have a movie that explains what they are, but they also have "downloadable" Christmas Trolls for you to print and use for yur own "Holiday" decorating. I always find it interesting to learn about the experiences of cultures other than my own, and I think it's great that put together this handout and move so that everyone could share in part of their Holiday celecbration.

It's always nice to share and to take the opportunity to learn from other people. We could all benefit from understanding one another a bit more.

----> Still no mention of the Winter 2007 release of Trollbeads, tho! Darn! I continue my wait with breathless anticipation!

Winter 2007 Beads

As is normal for me, I've been spending a majority of my time thinking about ... Trollbeads! So, a question crossed my mind.

Has anyone heard anything about the Winter 2007 beads? They have to be due out at any moment!! Somehow it always seems that they are able to keep them a secret until they suddenly spring them on us. Not that i don't kike surprises. :-)

And while I'm on that thought (Trollbeads, again), has anyone else seen the little Trolls that have been added to Trollbeads main site? Interesting ... in a somewhat startling kind of way!

Let's Start Talking About Trollbeads!

Trollbeads!!! I just responded to a blog posting that was talking about Trollbeads, and I decided that I needed to start my own -- since I have a STRONG obsession with Trollbeads!

I love Trollbeads! I’ve found a great website for purchasing Trollbeads – www.trollbeadsgallery.com. The prices are perfect and they have FREE SHIPPING! It's my favorite place to buy from – they are very friendly, helpful and provide incredibly quick shipping! I’ve bought from a lot of places, but nothing matches their level of communication and customer support. At www.trollbeadsgallery.com/ I can have my treasures in hand within a few days! They are even supported and sanctioned by Lund/TrollbeadsUS (the US distributor) and are shown on the Lund/TrollbeadsUS as one of the top sellers in the US. I can see why, because they treat their customers VERY courteously!

Trollbeads really are remarkable, beautifully-created, and wonderful charms/beads - that take art of creating a bead or charm bracelet so much fun! Not only is it fun, but you can quickly and easily change your bracelet with every whim of desire, or to match any outfit you might wear ANY day! I can't count the times I’ve been asked "WOW! Did you know your bracelet matches your outfit PERFECTLY? How did you do that!?”

It always amuses me. Every time.

Trollbeads are generally inexpensive when purchased bead by bead (unless you go for the 18K gold!) and are a great way to inspire anticipation for your next "purchase!" Besides that, it's a fabulous thing to share with friends and family who are always asking what you want for a birthday or Christmas. Just give them your Trollbead wish list and they can always get you something that would make you undeniably happy; and for a VERY affordable price (they generally run $21 for a glass bead and start at around $19 for silver beads).

I, too, highly recommend Trollbeads!! Visit http://www.trollbeadsgallery.com/ or even venture to eBay - great prices are there, too, if you can stand the anxiety and suspense of auctions!
