And when she is in town, bad things happen to my checkbook:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="trollbeads" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.trollbeadstrail.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Spring_2a-300x261.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="261" /></p>
<p>These are Trollbeads, and they are addictive. Hubby will attest I have&#8230;.a few. And yesterday eldest got her very own bracelet for her birthday, composed of the Chakhra beads, which I had been collecting for over eight months. Anyway, Nomstress tells me she needs to go to the Trollbeads store to exchange a leather bracelet.</p>
<p>Best laid plans, and all that rot.</p>
<p>They had just received a huge lot of &#8220;universal uniques&#8221;, which will fit other brands of bracelets, as well. And they were <em>sooo pretty!!!</em> So I caved. And it didn&#8217;t help matters having Eldest and Nomstress cheering me on, either.</p>
<p>Sigh&#8230;.. 😉</p>
