Pandora's Teapot Charm


Pandora's Teapot Charm was just featured as Great Britain's charm for Pandora's 'Around the World' collection. I think this bead is a perfect fit for Great Britain for obvious reasons. But aside from being a good fit for Britain, this bead reminds me of the tea parties I had as a little girl. I bet I'm not the only one! Pandora's Teapot charm is $45.00 Canadian.

Troll's Black Squirrel Bead


Troll's Black Squirrel bead is one of their many attractive glass beads. This bead actually reminds me of a chipmunk more than a Black Squirrel because of the brown and beige colouring but I love it nonetheless. I started to get into these naturally tones lately, how about you? Black Squirrel costs $31.00 CAN.

Persona's 'Illustrious Silver' bead

Persona's Illustrious Silver bead features cubic zirconia crystals held in a sterling silver weave. The description on Persona's website is exactly what I think of when I see this bead. It looks grand and royal but also delicate. Illustrious Silver costs $35 CAN.

Pandora's Silver Ribbon Bead

Pandora's Silver Ribbon Bead No. 790545CZ features a row of CZ crystals going right down the center of the bead. I really like the combination of silver and clear crystal but I think what draws me to this bead the most is the texture created by each individual horizontal line. Pandora's Silver Ribbon Bead costs $105 CAN.

Fun Design Contest!

I just wanted to let you all know about a really fun design contest called the Design Your Persona & Win Contest. Basically, you design a charm bracelet online using their beads and try to get the most votes for your design in order to win your bracelet for free. The contest runs until December 10th 2010. So far my fellow purse forum members have found good luck when sharing their entry on facebook! I don't have facebook so I thought I'd share my entry here:

It's called "Beginning"
