I'm so happy to find folks excited about this month's box like me. I think the gunmetal findings and the beads this month are great. I've already made a bracelet ☺️

Not only is this a unique and beautiful collection, but your commentary is equally beautiful. Gina, by far, you are one of my favorite artists and “inboxers!” Your description and presentation is always so lovely and professional. Thank you for sharing!

That is so true! I know some un-boxers do a lot of criticizing, they call it their opinion, but it puts a damper on things bc 1 person doesn't like it!

I LOVE this month's collection! Love the gunmetal, I hope we can see it more often. Tfs!

Got mine yesterday & I absolutely love everything in the collection. Those goat beads are adorable, as I have a collection of animal beads. I hope you make something with the succulent cabochons.

I love this box. The succulents are so fun and the gunmetal is so exciting!

Could not wait for the mail today so I had to check it out. Glad they did some gunmetal awesome box.

Love this box and your unboxing. Thank you.

I saw the sheep beads through the band and squealed "OOH! RAMS!" I'm an Aries so... definitely keeping these for myself. So fun!

I'm thinking of gluing the succulents to the earring findings. There's a lot here that I'd like to buy more of! I've been obsessed with black and gunmetal findings and chain for a few months now so I'm very glad to see it here!

Don't often see a black/white/gray pallette, but it is really beautiful and very useful. I've made some black/white pieces for myself, and I reach for them time and time again. Very dressy, and who doesn't have lots of black in their wardrobe? The slab howlite pendant I could see combined with an overlay of the large swirly finding, with the black/gray/white small rondelles dangling off the finding.

You are so right, Pat! I think it's a very classic combination, and can be mixed with many other colors. Have a great weekend!!

You do such a fantastic job on unboxing, thank you for sharing 😊

I really like the box but I'm truly stumped as to what to make with it. 🤔🤔🤔 I guess I'm having a creative block. 😞 I will be watching videos and playing with the beads until inspiration strikes. 😊 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🦋

@@ORCHIDandOPAL, I'm hearing a lot of people saying the same thing and feeling like I do...It's kind of reassuring that I'm not the only one stumped. I'm sure that inspiration will most definitely come for all of us. Thank you for your reassuring comment...it's really appreciated. Have a wonderful day. 😊🌹💗🦋

This is definitely my favorite box since I started my subscription earlier this year!! Can't wait to see what everyone does with it!

I love this month's box. Your interpretation is always helpful too.

Hi Brenda! Thanks for asking! I will add that idea to the list for future videos. Have a great day!

What will you do with the succulents? I'm not sure....Did you check out the subscriptions for Vintaj yet? I think there subscription is right up your alley because you're so amazingly creative. I would love to see you open a box and give your Ideas. Thank you for once again a wonderful tutorial.

Thanks, Claudia! I have had my eye on the Vintaj sub, and may share it in the future. Thanks for asking!! As for the succulents - I am tempted to turn them into cute fridge magnets - LOL. You could use them in wire work, embroidery, and bezel them in some way. The size and shape would be on the larger side, of course.

I know they are so cute, but to wear them? Not! After watching your tutorial on what company's to go with, and why, thats when I started searching myself and so far there box is exceptional. I have no stock or anything to do with them but they have a unique twist on things. @@ORCHIDandOPAL

Gina it looks like your howlite pendant is cracked almost thru the whole thing. I got one like that too. I’m wondering if anyone else has big cracks in theirs. I was thinking about contacting Lauren about because I’m worried if it gets bumped is it going to break? What do you think about it?

Hi there! I’ve inspected mine closely, and my pendant doesn’t seem in danger of cracking. It’s a vein of darker coloration, but it doesn’t seem to be affecting the stability. That said, all of them are different, and I’d reach out to BBB if you think yours might be in danger of cracking. Howlite typically has that type of design, and I can understand why you would be concerned about it. Thanks for asking!
