There is a rumour about a smaller October 15th release. Overseas the story is a Ltd Edition bead with an Oriental Theme, inlayed with Jade stone, and possibly a dragon??? No idea if this is fact or fiction, or if would be a world-wide release or just specific to Europe.
(In the US the North-east dealers are releasing a Ltd Edition set of 10 Pink glass with proceeds going to a Breast Cancer charity. This release is scheduled to take place around the same time. My last post has a link for this.)
Now that the Fall release is out, the next for sure release will be the smaller Christmas themed one that usually comes out in November. Until then, I'm sure our pocketbooks will be suffering trying to afford all of the beautiful beads that just came out!!!! :)

One Little Picture...
...won't hurt, will it??? The beautiful Caravan set, with deep coral colors!!! SHHHHH! ;)
New Topic: There is a Limited Edition Glass set of 10 pink beads, made exclusively for Trollbeads US Northeast dealers. You can find out more information by joining the Forum or viewing the Blog for www.trollbeadsgallery.com. You can view a picture of this gorgeous & very limited set there. Proceeds from sales are donated to a Breastcancer group, but it is US based. Maybe Canada will do something similar for a Canadian Charity?
If you agree you could go to the Canadian Trollbeads site: www.trollbeads.ca and email the Trendy Group with your thoughts.

New Release Teaser!
Friday is the big day, the Fall 2009 release for Trollbeads!!! The beads were leaked on a German website, although it was pulled down quickly. So I won't spoil the suspense for you but I will give a few teaser details.
The new release includes: 1 silver lock, 1 silver ring, 1 faceted stone bead (not the Amazonite, after all), 2 round stone beads, 12 new glass 1 beads (one set is called Caravan, the other Desert, inspired after their namesakes), 1 Fantasy silver bead (very, very cool!), and 8 silver beads, covering a variety of sizes & price ranges. UPDATE: 3 of the beads have also been released in gold, as well as the ring is available in 18K gold.
I have to say that this is one of the most amazing & appealing releases I have seen from Trollbeads. I was stunned by the glass, it is new & different from what Lise has released before. It is beautiful and I think will appeal to a wide range, it is not as quirky as the Aquarelle & Tuscany sets of the spring release, nor the Mosaics. There are some really sexy bead, with new colors & textures & shimmers.
The silvers are all inspired from folklore & fables, history & nature. They have stayed very true to the TB theme and these beads are not only beautiful, but meaningful & interesting as well. They really do have good stories!
For everyone who swoons over the OOAK Bubble beads that are plentiful in Denmark, but impossible in Canada - you will be very happy with this release. Anyone looking for some sparkle will be too.
If you want to be informed of the new beads, make sure you check out the TrollbeadsNow.com blog. It is always a good idea to sign up for the newsletters directly from the source in Denmark too: www.trollbeads.com

August 15th Release
The next TB release date is August 15th (at least what I can gather from the emails sent out from TB regarding the People's Bead competition.) The Fall release will include the silver version of the People's Bead winner which is the dove cradling the earth design. Also rumored to be included (???) is the turquoise Amazonite faceted stone bead. Runners up in the top 10 received Sapphire faceted blue stone beads, and a Ltd Edition of Citrine (pale yellow) faceted stone beads were in Denmark shops, so one could wonder if there is an upcoming release of new gemstones in the Fall collection. Only Lise knows!!!
TB.com has also started a new contest, instead of the summer photo contest it is a movie contest about where you have taken your Trollbeads this summer. The contest link is www.beoriginalthemovie.com
Jasper prices in Canada seem to be at $40 Cdn and some smaller dealers have not received their supply yet so keep checking at your local store. In the US the prices have ranged from $35US to $80US!!! Dealers were charging more for beads they percieved to have better, rarer, or more desirable color. Sets of 6 are almost sold out in Europe so if you have an overseas contact to obtain one I would make your move as soon as you can.
As always there are retirement rumours, and some Glass beads are temporarily??? unavailable to order from the Canadian Distributor, one of these being Pumpkin. I think it is unlikely that this correlates with any retirements, but has been almost 2 years since the last big retirement so it is a possibility that something may go this Fall. (Of course, I hope not!!!)
Enjoy your summer days & happy trolling!

Ltd Edition Jasper Beads!!!
Just got word from the Trollbeadsnow blog that the Jaspers are released in Canada!!! This is quite exciting news as these types of beads vary so much it is always nice to choose them in person or on-line pictures of individual beads. Jasper is reported to be a very durable stone so it should make a great bead for daily wear.

Pink Ambers in North America?
The rumour mill has been rich lately, and one little tip I've heard is that the Ltd. Edition Pink amber beads, also called Rosa Amber or Peach Amber, that were released in Europe for Valentine's Day will be making their way to North America in time for Mother's Day.
This rare type of amber is only found in Russia and has a very unique color. It ranges from creamy peach to more translucent pink and is stunning! I'm hoping that it does arrive here, but it will be in short supply and possibly only the largest sales volume dealers will receive it. It was very rare in the UK and most dealers only had 1 or 2 sets of 6 ambers to sell.
So, if you do happen to stumble across one in April or May, grab it because it will be your only chance!

Mother's Day Ltd. Edition Beads
Rumour has it....
Trollbeads is releasing 2 Limited Edition beads just in time for Mother's Day. They are based upon the "Heartbeat" bead that was originally released in November of 2006 on the Ltd. Edition Anniversary Bracelet. The new beads are available with a choice of two difference precious stones: Pink Sapphires or Rubies. The stones are set in the center of each heart around the bead. So far it seems they are going to price around $570US.
I have heard a rumour that TB will also be having a 2nd bead release before Mother's Day with more affordably priced beads. So far that is just rumour, but seeing as the big Spring release was early on January 15th of this year, it does seem feasible that a release could happen within the next 3 months. Trollgirl will keep her ears & eyes open....
