I think all of you know that I can't get enough of the interchangeable watch bands! When I saw Trendy Bendy I was in love! You have to see the super fun designs! The use of color, beads and charms....Oh my! Each watch is a piece of art!
Now, how about a little info about the owner and creator, April May. Yes, her name is April May, she has a super funny story to tell about that! I think you will find her as interesting as i do!
---------------------------
A little Bio:
My name is April May (yes, really)--married into May. He refused to tell me his last name when we first dated until I assured him it didn't matter because I was never getting married. We were married 9 months after that conversation!
I have been absolutely blessed with two miracle kids. After being told ten years ago I couldn't have children I decided to try in vitro three years ago as my corporate job was willing to pay for the majority of the expense. We figured we would give it one shot and pray and pray. Well, my sweet son was born 9 months later after our first try.
I have been able to stay home with my son and decided last year we really wanted to try and have at least one more child. Unfortunately, living off one income we could not afford the expense of in vitro again.
So, I started TrendyBendy. The business took off and because of that as well as my husband's sweet grandma's generosity--my daughter was born three months ago. Again, on the first try -against all odds and with a lot of prayers. We knew this was our last shot and have been so blessed.
Now, I continue the business so I can stay home with my babies and because I LOVE IT! It is my creative outlet- my beads are taking over our basement and my 2 1/2 year old can bead with the best of them. (He is also my official sorter).
I have customers who send me pictures of outfits to match or antique beads from their grandma's old broken necklace. I love creating new designs and have had many people tell me their watch bands save them money as they don't buy new clothes now they just put colors together to match their bands that they would not have thrown together before.
They are fun gifts and I love doing special requests.

April sent me the most lovely watch band ever! With fall here, I wanted something that would match my outfits, the season and my mood. This watch is perfect. I can't even tell you how many compliments I have already received already. It is a stunning piece of jewelry. It's chunky and gets noticed.
Here it is--

I like the Jumbo round wt pearl face and the Aubrey band. I really like the band you got but did not see it available. The dark beads with the different shades of beige blended so good and would match and clothes you chose to wear. These are fun watches but have the big numbers and I like that. Thanks ybutler@oppcatv.com
