black?

Hi all, and Happy 2006!

reading r.c.b on google I found one of the side-links going to an
article
with a headline like "Black Is Back". I have been noticing that the
things
containing black were selling more than anything else. Has anybody else
noticed this, is this a trend?

Aloha,

I'll try to remember next winter. (I'm still a newbie, remember).

something that basic be considered a trend? Of course, given that Hawaii
has a different palette, maybe black IS different.

Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't, or maybe Hawaii has and maybe it
hasn't, what struck me was that one of my SILs (in Oregon), asked
whether she could have a second Christmas bracelet and that one had
black bugle beads in it, and then finding that article.

BTW: I remember that you said something about lined beads some time
ago - I now know what you mean. Thanks for that one - and I find that
among bugle beads even the better ones have that problem ...

Aloha,

black is always a popular color, really..it's a classic that never goes
out of style in clothing and jewelry. but sometimes it does seem to be
more trendy than usual.

one thing I always find funny is that really, color trends are the same
every season, yet magazines act like it's something new. jewel and
earth tones in fall, bright colors in summer, pastels in spring, black
and browns in winter..the only thing that ever changes is the color
that's sworn to be "the new black". I think last year it was orange.
