Beads Story- review and giveaway

I first stumbled into the Beads Story shop on Etsy via another (now forgotten, so sorry!) blogger's review about a month ago. Anca's work is right up my style alley- vintage, beads and nature.  It's rare for me to find a shop and love everything in it, but Anca has managed it!



Choosing one piece was really difficult. Not only are all of her designs lovely but so are the prices. As a mom on a budget, that's extremely helpful in my quest to regain some sense of style. I decided I'd like something to wear for upcoming special occasions but also every day, although that really didn't narrow it much for me! What I finally decided to get was this On the Fly Summer Delight bracelet:

I tend toward the white metals mostly and love how the red pops on this one. Add a couple pretty dangles and I'm sold! When I received the bracelet, I was pleasantly surprised to find it is a very light, delicate piece versus a heavy chunky one. Some things I own currently are not worn often(if at all) because they are so heavy they become cumbersome. I'm already carrying around an 18lb baby, don't need anything on top of that!

Here it is on my wrist:

My wrists are small and I can wear this on the smallest setting. There is a 1 inch extender for those with normal sized wrists or if you just like to wear it a little loose, like I do. Anca has paid great attention to detail and all of the links are closed completely, wires are wrapped perfectly. I'm very particular about things like that.

Anca of Beads Story has very generously agreed to a giveaway for Adventures in Green Living readers! One person will win an item of their choice up to 23$. Thank you, Anca! What a wonderful first giveaway for us to kick start things at Adventures in Green Living.
