    Oh well, I might as well post my bakelite bangle collection. I tried to make 2 towers with my bangles but I couldn't find anything to hold them steady. So while I was taking a first picture one of my bakelite towers collapsed and my bangles fell on the stone floor! I guess you can imagine I freaked out a bit? :-)
    Needless to say I stopped building towers and just took these pics instead. So no impressive pictures here like the ones Vmode made of her collection...
    I have about 35 bracelets and a few stretch bracelets in bakelite. I bought none of them online but instead I did the old treasure hunt on flea markets. The most I paid for any of these was about 3 euro, but more often I just paid 0,5 or 1 euro.
    I like the green and the brown ones most. I wear these with anything.
    You know, love doesn't come with a price and I m really in love with bakelite!
    I cant wait to find some more!
    Hope you enjoy

      Hey Val, I love going to flea markets and I have been collecting for a few years now. I wish I could find some more or some really nicely carved ones. But it seems bakelite has never been very popular where I live: so I dont find many and certainly nobody around here collects it! So I m very happy CW exists! It makes me feel less crazy when I look at my bakelite collection :-)
      The ones I got were all lucky finds. I do like the plain mustard ones too. I wear them together with mississipi mud, red and green spacers when I dont forget to put some jewelry on. I think I like looking like a colored flag or something :-)

      CW helps affirm our crazy as normal! Besides, what's wrong with treasuring things from the past, and look at this lot! Wonderful!

      What a lot, you can start a store! You and your daughters can change bangle every day! Nice collection.

      Thanks Agram for your comment. Indeed, I could change balngles every day with my daughters. I hope they will collect bakelite when they get older.
      For now, they already know how to test bakelite, and they have known that since they were 3 and 4,5 years old!!! :-)
