Hello and welcome to the Beady I!
My name is Enfys, and I am beady - in that I love admiring, collecting, arranging and wearing charm beads and jewellery!
I first started collecting beads when I was given a Prouds bead and bracelet for Christmas by my family in 2016. Since then, beads have become my obsession! I collect beads from all brands (mainly glass, stone and sterling silver). If my heart skips a beat when I see a bead and I can’t stop thinking about it, then I know I must have it! Thus, my wishlist is 7 miles long...

I just love that one bead can be worn in so many ways, and on all different carriers! There are seemingly endless beautiful combinations that these tiny treasures can be arranged into - and each bead is a little work of wearable art! I find it poetic that the beads have been made by the hands of skilled artisans, and have travelled to me from faraway places that I will never see. I also feel connected to the world and other people through our shared love of these little beauties!

I have severe Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS - a connective tissue disorder that causes pain, fatigue, illness and daily joint dislocations), and I spend a lot of time in bed or lying around the house. I wear some of my beads for luck when I go for appointments or tests. Others I wear to remind me of things, match my outfit or mood, or follow a theme. I wear my beads even when im just lying in bed - and they make me happy!
If I am having a particularly bad time with EDS, I may go quiet or disappear for a little while - but I will still be admiring my beads and trying to get back to blogging again! This blog will feature my own thoughts, reviews and beady arrangements. I hope you enjoy it!
