Well, I've been brooding lately & not keeping up with the latest & greatest news on here. So here is what you need to know for the next few weeks:
LTD Edition Christmas Glass Sets - retailing at Glass 2 prices (EEEEEK! That, my friends, is either the sound of your car breaks screeching, or your heart nearly stopping, depending.)
Two sets of 6 beads, one in red/green and one in blue/white. One bead in each set has the lovely aventurine frit in it, making the sparkley "glitter" patterns that we all love so much. If you frequent the "BT" forum, you might see a sneak peek.
Silver & Gold, Diamonds, & Gemstone - An intricate "Mistletoe" (Holly?) bead is making an appearance in silver and in gold (two beads, not a silver & gold bead). Also a winter style Teddy Bear in silver. A Midnight Blue Diamond bead and a Faceted Red Tiger's Eye are also coming. Each compliment the Ltd Kits very well. (Why another Teddy Bear after Fall's new bear bead?? Not sure either.... but there has got to be a reason.)
New Gold & Silver Lock - We all wait breathlessly for a new lock. This time it is a love it or hate it proposition: A silver lock with a gold heart. Personally, I love the simplicity and universal symbolism of this one and think it will be a big seller in the fresh market, maybe not so big amongst established & hardcore collectors who prefer the "trollish" soul to be in their beads.
Release Date for the above is rumored to be November 11th, 2011, as per the TB US Facebook page.
Also the Ltd Gemstone Kits were released in Italy last week. You can find Italian sellers happily ebaying & auctioning the finest away, although the prices on the more desireable beads are down from the UK release. If you must have one, check out Pesco-Clock and rcanone-rcanone, two brick and mortar shops that sell for retail prices & offer good service.
