Latest Haul: Trollbeads Mini Shopping Binge August 2015

Today I will be showcasing the latest charms I bought from Trollbeads. I had a store credit waiting for me at my nearest Trollbeads dealer, so I decided to use it as I needed a small pick me up. This is what I ended up getting:

I also ended up getting the Angel pendant, however that purchase was not part of this haul, I got the pendant back when I purchased the crown rings but since I never showcased it before, I figured I might as well throw it in here:

Now as I state in the video, I actually went in to see what other pink beads would go with the Mother’s Rose beads, but I ended up getting more beads with the same coloring as the Faceted Aurora and the Moonlight Bubbles. At that point I started second guessing whether the Mother’s Roses went with the Faceted Aurora and the rest at all. I may need your opinion my dear readers as I need help deciding LOL. A couple of days ago I posted the same query on Instagram regarding a Pandora bracelet, and because of your helpful comments I was able to finally make up my mind and now I know which beads I need to get in order to finally finish that particular bracelet.

I’ve been wanting the Aurora Stripes for awhile, I didn’t realize how much it would compliment the Faceted Aurora bead. Also the other bead that fascinated me was the Sea Anemone, online it just looks pink but at least the one I ended up getting had some blue undertones, which made it a perfect fit for this bracelet.

Now the first two beads I show are older beads, but I was able to get the newer Live, Love and Forgive bead, which I had assumed would be rounder, turns out it has an almost triangular shape to it.

And now I have the dilemma of what to do with this bracelet. Do the Mother’s Rose beads go with the rest of the beads? If not, I’ll have to rearrange it. I also have this problem with another bracelet I was working on, I was going to make a birth month flower bracelet of all my family members, but I absolutely detest my birth flower month (October) so I’m seriously thinking of scratching it, but now I have four green beads with no home, and I’m not sure what I’ll be doing with them now.

Anyway, back to this bracelet, here is the bracelet how I had it to begin with:

And here it is without the Mother’s Rose beads:

What do you all think? Do they go or not? If yes I’ll most likely keep it as is, if not I’ll have to remove the three center beads, and I’ll have to rethink the theme for this bracelet, or maybe it just won’t have a theme. Although this would be weird for me as all of my bracelets have some kind of theme. I could also take out the June Rose and put something different in altogether. It’s weird because I usually have an idea on what the bracelet will look like or what I plan to put on it, but with this one it’s kind of random. So far the comments on YouTube have been very gracious, viewers have told me to just go with it, do whatever I want. Perhaps I will take out the silvers and just do a completely different bracelet. Stay tuned on what it will eventually will turn into, I will post on Instagram whenever I figure it out.

Below is the video I made showcasing my haul, I apologize once again if I ramble, I do have that bad habit! If you have any comments on what you think I should do, comment down below, let me know what you think!

    Both designs are really lovely, but I think I prefer your bracelet with the Mother’s Rose beads. They’re so striking and they go with the purple beads beautifully!
