Glitter Box Charms and more!





I am adding a lot of NEW charms to my etsy store. I had a wholesale customer who wanted some glitter charms. So, you know me, I go get glitter and try my hand at it. I swear, the best ideas for charms come from my customers. The Breakfast at Tiffany's charm was a huge hit, and they have been flying out the door!

So, Now I will be offering GLITTER CHARMS. These are a few of the new designs I will be listing this next week, in my etsy store.

~ Other New Charms ~

I also did some new Blingy, Crystal and Silver charms in a Shadow Box Charm and a New stacked glass 3D Eiffel Tower Charm with a Zebra background. I really like the way they turned out, they are very DRAMATIC!

New Items for my Home Store





I have had so many wholesale charm orders, lately, I haven't been able to work on getting my Etsy Home Decor store going. I am not complaining, mind you! I am very thankful for the success of my charm business. It is the bread and butter. I had a break in charm orders, so first, I cleaned my House. Ha Then I worked a whole day on frames and boxes for my home store. I really enjoy making the boxes and frames. I feel my creativeness exploding when I design them. A lot of the charm design is digital design, which is fun, but the frames and boxes, I get to create with my eyes, hands and imagination. I love that.

I wanted to share a frame and box I just added to my Etsy Home Store. I really LOVE the way the Fleur de lis Frame turned out. I want to keep it! When I have a few extra moments, I might have to make one for myself. Ha, what a laugh, who am I kidding?

New Initial Charms





Candice designed these new initial graphics for my charms. They are simple and dramatic at the same time. I love the way the round charms turned out. This is the first time I have attempted circle charms. A little bit of a challenge to keep the solder smooth. Candice is going to start an etsy store for her graphic digital designs. I am so excited, because her work is so unique and awesome! I know she will do well with her store.

New Collage Box Charms




What is it that draws us to something Vintage? I love to go into an antique mall and browse for hours (to my hubby's dismay). My grandmother had a very small house in Prescott, Arizona, that had a total of four very small rooms and one bath. One whole room was devoted to her "Treasures". Little figurines, cups and saucers, old lace, etc., from times gone by. I remember her old cookie jar the best, where she kept her "little money", hidden so the passing Gypsies wouldn't discover it there. What wonderful memories I have of that special little room of Grandmothers! The nostalgia of vintage is such a draw to our hearts.


I love the look of Vintage in Box Charms, using old photos, vintage adds, etc. I wanted to share a few of my new Soldered Box charms I created, in memory of Grandmother's special little room, in a vintage collage style. A couple are from memories from my childhood days, the Dollie on the car hood (she's quite sassy LOL) and the "Breakfast at Tiffany's", which is now vintage (which means I am old LOL).
