Saturday Stack - Perfect Partners

Story by Kranz and Ziegler and X by Trollbeads with a Twist combined for a perfect Saturday Stack. 


Prompted by a post on Facebook (where someone was buying the exact same Starter Bracelet in a sale) I decided to rework my Story bracelet, it's been a bit neglected recently so it was overdue for a new look.


A long time ago I'd picked up the big round Purple Aventurine Dangle in a sale but had yet to use it, using this dangle as a starting point I reworked the braclet and ended up with this...


I love the new arrangement and was happily wearing it on it's own, but I always love a good stack so I decided to add a Story dangle to an existing X combo and came up with this one...


Quick snap to share with friends and I was good to go!


I love the versatility of Story and X by Trollbeads, I pair them together quite a bit.  

I'd love to add the metal links Story bracelet to my collection; I fancy using a few of my dangles with that for a different look, however that's been bumped down to the bottom of a wishlist for while... too many wishlists and not enough budget!

What's next on your wishlist?  Do yours swap and change as much as mine,
or do you set yourself a list and work your way through it?

    I love that your Story bracelet is making an appearance again! I live vicariously through others for some brands, and Story seems to be one that I love when I see it, but I never get around to buying.

    I'm currently working on my resolutions for next year, so I'm figuring out where some of the those things fit into my list. There's at least one bead for my bird feeder bracelet on my immediate wishlist. And one for my winter bracelet.

    The rest of my wish list is a bit of a mixture. I have a list of the things that I plan to buy in the next 2-3 months, and I work through those pretty much as they are listed. But I also have a much longer list of things that have no timeline. I work through those as they come on sale. Or as the project that they are for becomes higher priority, they get bumped to the shorter term list.

      I'm trying to work on my resolutions for next year too, but at the moment I'm not sure what to concentrate on?! Love your bird feeder and how the new beads are going!

      I really like my Story Bracelet, whenever I "rediscover" it I keep wondering why it's been so long in the bead box as it's a fab one to wear!

      At the moment I have a huge craving to buy nearly all the Ohm Christmas beads, I really can't justify this at all, I just really want them!! Resisting so far, crazy wishlist!

      Yes, the Ohm Christmas beads were AMAZING! I bought two (Jingle Balls and Get Your Nog On) but it was hard to narrow it to just the two. I almost caved and bought Bah Humbug too, but managed to hold off. But I think it might be waiting for me under our Christmas tree ;) Ice hole and Ash hole are also on my list.

      One of these days I'm sure that I will cave and try on a Story bracelet. And then I will fall down that rabbit hole too.

      Oh I do hope you get Bah Hambug under the tree! I want Flakes for Friend and You Melt Me from Snow Job, and all 3 of Kiss my Christmass, so, er that was 5 without even blinking (still not bought any yet). I thought the glass was great too... I still don't do branding on cores but I am slowly being won over, well at least by Ohm... I like the font they use and it is at least smaller than some of the other brands.

      I almost talked myself into all 5 via the loyalty scheme so I could get a 6th free but then I added up the cost and I can't justify it at the moment, it's hellish though given the silvers are all LE.

      Give me a shout if you decide to jump down the rabbit hole with me, my one saving grace with Story is I have got all the charms via sales! I also want some more Rebeligion but I'm also in love with a lot of the Spring release coming up from Trollbeads... I so need to earn a LOT more money than I currently do :D

    I'm with Tracy. I love living vicariously through others since if I caved in to every pretty thing, my pocketbook will be in pain. Love, love it. Rather fond of purple myself. :)
