Very unique

For some reason, they are not letting me upload the video of the bracelets, which I absolutely love. I have purchased three of them so far but the prices really increased a lot 😢

Bright colors blow me away!

What a fun, young and creative company to work with! Tons of great ideas! Wish I had more time to knit or crochet all the items I see each time I look at a new ad!

Thank you for kindness and support :u1F970:
