A Charmed Life

Happy 2010!!

2010-01-06T00:17:00.016-07:00

Happy New Year! I have a feeling it's going to be a great one. What better way to start the new year than wearing the initials of your loved ones around your neck? Leave your chain a little long and they will dangle close to your heart all day long:) Our Word Candy Initials have been a hit with gals wanting to sport their sweetie's initial along with theirs, or stack 'em up and load all the kiddies initials on there. Anyway you do it, it works- and you get lots of hugs and kisses from people who think you're pretty cool! Just ask my kids......

Happy New Year's Eve eve

We are working on adding several more items to our inventory in the next week. So, if you didn't get that wonderful charm or initial or trinket that you were so wanting for Christmas- do not despair. We are here to help. After all, Valentine's Day is right around the corner:)
