Althea A says:All of these bracelets are beautiful but I absolutely love the turquoise one. The enameled bracelet band is beautiful and I think the blue leaf, the tree of life and the bee charms really highlight it.

Beady Little Eyes says:Wonderful bracelets. I love the charms you use and the colored cords.

Crystal Canary says:Both of these will be sellers in your shop. The collection of beads in the first makes a nice backdrop for the tin toggle–they work well with the golden flower on it. Love how you tied the blue disc together on the second. Are they glass? I remember the necklace you made with similar discs–it really caught my eye.

dolllady aka Pam says:Jane, both bracelets are wonderful. My favorite is the blue one! We have been missing out on blue skies for about 3 weeks now. We have had gray skies, but occasionally the sun makes a brief appearance even if there isn’t any blue sky.

K Ralston says:You’re killing it with the sales this season Sweetjane. I think I like the blue one best, but both are wonderful.
