The second week of the Bonbon Charms Anniversary Sale has begun!
Three fantastic charms at really great prices.
It’s possible you might want to do a little early shopping.
For Easter baskets.
Or Mother’s Day.
Just a thought.

Here are the charms that are on sale this week.

The Pewter Mama Bird charm.
Normally $22, but only $15 this week.
Such a deal.

Heart of My Own Heart Charm.
Love this one.
Especially at Easter time.
This charm usually sells for $18, but is $14 for this week.

Photo Charms.
Love, love, love them.
I know there are some Moms and Grandmas out there who would love them too.
And what a great sale.
$10 off!
That makes single photo charms only $15.
Double photo charms are $25.
You should really snatch some up at this price.

Lastly, I thought I’d throw in a bonus sale item.
Because I felt like it.
And because you guys are great.
You really are.

If you go to our Bonbon Prints website,
You can purchase a 5×7 Classic Silhouette for only $10.
These are really fun.
You can customize the silhouette color.
You can choose the font style.
You just email us your child’s photo (or any photo, for that matter!)
And we will make a personalized silhouette.

I have silhouettes of all my kids framed in the kitchen.
Right beside our growth chart.
They perfectly capture each child’s uniqueness.
You should really have one for each of your kiddos.
I think you’ll love them as much as I do.

This sale will be good through Monday, March 18.
No discount code needed.
Just go to the website and place your order.

Happy shopping!

I haven’t posted here in awhile.
And I’m trying to think up a good excuse or two why I haven’t.
But my brain is running a little slow right now,
So I thought maybe instead I’d just have a sale!

Does that make sense to you?
Because somehow it makes perfect sense to me.
I’m weird that way.

Anyway.
Bonbon Charms just celebrated its 7th anniversary.
7 years.
That’s hard for me to believe.
It’s like my little baby is growing up.
Okay, maybe not.

But we should probably have a sale, right?
To celebrate?
I think so.

In fact, I think we’ll have sales on 7 charms.
For the 7 years.
Makes sense.
There will be 4 charms for sale this week.
We’ll put the other 3 charms on sale next week.
Just to space out all the goodness.

This week our 4 sale charms will be $10 each.
Such a deal.
We have our Descriptive Initial.

These charms are so great.
Simple, clean, and fun to give as gifts.
Choose an initial for the front and a descriptive word for the back.
These are actually our original charms that started the whole business.
Gotta love em.

Our next $10 charm is our vintage print charm.

These charms are great too.
Vintage style images printed on old book pages.
What’s not to love about that?
We’ve got the two styles pictured above, plus newer styles…a camera, bicycle, and more.
You’ll have to look on the website for all the fun options.

Charm #3 is our sugar drop charm.

This is one of my favorites.
Initials or images under bubble glass.
So unique.
These are great with jeans and a t-shirt.
I wear mine a lot!

The last $10 charm is our mini madeleine.

This is a longer charm with an inspirational word on the front.
All of our stock charms will be on sale.
There are several to choose from, so you might want to take a look here.

These charms will be one sale for one week.
And when that sale is over, we’ll be announcing the next 3 charms to go on sale.
Exciting, right?
Okay, well it’s time for me to get busy soldering.
And you need to place your order,
So get to it, people!

Valentine’s Day is coming.
And there are some great gift options at Bonbon Charms.
Check out just a few of our sweet charms!

I’m loving all of these…been wearing them a lot lately.
We’ve actually extended our annual Valentine Sale.
Just go to the website, enter VALENTINE (all caps) for the discount code at checkout,
And you will receive 15% off your entire order.
This sale will be on through February 1st.

And we also have one brand new option…

Gift cards!

Maybe you have a friend to buy for, but you’re not sure what she’d like.
Or you want some charms from your husband,
but don’t quite trust him to pick out what you want.
Not that your husband would pick the wrong thing…I’m just guessing here.
Anyway, this is the perfect option.

Our new gift cards come in two denominations…$25 or $50.

Already gift-wrapped in a cute box.
And if you’re only ordering a gift card, the shipping is free!
What could be easier, really?
Oh, and one more thing.
Orders need to be placed by Feb. 5th
To get them in time for the big day.
So get on it, people.

If my Mom walked into my house right now,
She would say, “This place looks like the Wreck of the Hesperus!”
I don’t really know what that means,
But she used to say it when I was a kid.
And I’m pretty sure it means that things look bad.
Messy.
Disastrous.
Actually, I just googled it.
It was a famous shipwreck.
Yep, we’re still in the ballpark.

Actually, my Mom is really nice and she probably wouldn’t say that.
But she might think it.
Because that’s what I’m thinking right now.

I’ve been getting ready for my first ever
Bonbon Charms Christmas Open House.
And boy, is it going to be fun.
If I can ever get things straightened up around here.

You know how when you have a big cleaning or organizing project?
And things always get worse before they get better?
Yeah.
Well, we’re in the worse stage over here right now.

There’s furniture everywhere.
(Trying to figure out traffic flow)

And empty displays waiting to be filled.

But there’s progress, too…

Chain has been prepped.

Christmas decor is up.
(Props to second daughter, Claire, for the artwork)

New pewter pieces are ready and waiting to be stamped to order.

So really I need to get off the computer and finish some things up.
Make some lists.
Rearrange some more furniture.
Pick up coffee and cupcakes.

Oh, and get rid of incriminating evidence from the late night work session last night.

If you’re in the area,
I’d love for you to come!
It’s going to be a lot of fun.
If I can pull things together in the next 24 hours, that is.

Lots of great discounts to be had today!

Lots of deals coming your way in the next couple of weeks!
First one is coming at you today.
$10 Charms, people.
Yep, you heard me right.
$10.

Five of our most popular charms are selling for $10.
Today only.
Sugar Drops.
Vintage Prints.
Descriptive Initials.
And two of our new pewter line.
The Small Circle Charm and the Tiny Circle.

You can take a look at them all here.
No discount code needed.
Just go to the Website and place your order.
Get going!

Today is a great day.
A day I have been thinking about for months now.
I have been scheming.
And designing.
And creating.
And I think you’re going to love what I’ve come up with.

Our line of silver charms is great.
Super popular.
Everyone loves to have a customized silver charm.
But the price of silver these last couple of years?
Not so great.
It’s been going up.
And up.
Boo.

I’ve been wanting to make some charms that had the same look of silver.
They could be customized and stamped like silver.
But they didn’t cost as much.
We’re all for that, right?
Yay!

And we’ve done it.
We’ve made a line of charms in a beautiful and inexpensive metal…pewter.
Pewter is so great.
It has the look and the weight and feel of silver,
but at a fraction of the price.

Check out some of our new collection…

You can see the complete line of Pewter Charms here.
Almost all of these charms are less than $25.
That price even includes the chain.
They can be stamped and customized just like our silver charms.

So whether you’ve just started your Christmas shopping,
Or you’re almost done and just need a few stocking stuffers,
These charms make such great, affordable gifts.

And if you are interested in getting something for free,
Have we got a deal for you.
We’d like to ask you to help us get the word out about these new charms.
So post about our charms on your Facebook page.
Or pin one of our pewter charms on Pinterest.
Tweet about your favorite new charm.
Do any of these and then just let us know.

Either leave a comment here on our blog.
Or post a comment on our Facebook page.
And you will be entered in a drawing to receive one of our new
Pewter Star Christmas Ornaments.

Don’t you just love this ornament?
You might need one for your family this year.
We will do the drawing on next Tuesday, November 20.
But if you don’t win the drawing, this ornament is only $22!
Definitely a family keepsake.

So get to it!
Let your friends know.
Start pinning.
And tweeting.
And shopping!

Today is a great day.
An exciting day.
And not just because I’ve already had several yummy cups of Earl Grey tea this morning.
Although that’s great too.

Today we are launching a brand new line of Bonbon products.
And it’s not jewelry.
But it is something as equally fun.

Ever since we started making silhouette charms, we’ve had an excellent response from our customers.
(You guys are fantastic, by the way!)
They are little one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork made into charms.
That got us to thinking…what else could we do with these sweet silhouettes?
And the idea for Bonbon Prints was born.

So today we launch our new website…another division of Bonbon.
At Bonbon Prints, we make your own photos into silhouettes and then let you create custom artwork with them.

Like our Chalkboard Silhouette.

Or Sketched Family Portrait.

Or Traditional Family Tree.

We even have some unique prints
That don’t require a silhouette,
But are equally fabulous.
(If I do say so myself.)
Like our Custom Subway Sign.

This print is customized with all of the streets where your family has lived.

I am just so excited about this new venture.
I already have several of these prints on my own walls at home.
I framed some classic silhouettes of my kids and put them up by the growth chart in the dining room.

I also made the Chalkboard Family Line with our silhouettes
and put it on a standout mount (one of our mounting options)…so fun.

I’m getting ready to add it to our photo wall upstairs.

There are lots of fun ways to display,
So get on over to Bonbon Prints and see all we’ve got to offer.

As a little bonus, we are having an incredible sale on the item that got us started down this road.
Our Bonbon Silhouette Charms
(These charms are actually available on both websites…Bonbon Charms and Bonbon Prints).
Normally $40, for this opening week (until October 5),
These little treasures will be 50% off!
Only $20 each.
Such a deal.

And one more thing…
We will be having a drawing for a $50 discount code for one lucky person.
And you can enter the drawing multiple times.

Here are the ways to enter:
#1 Take a look at Bonbon Prints and come back and leave a comment about your favorite item.
#2 Pin your favorite item on Pinterest, then leave a comment letting us know.
#3 Mention Bonbon Prints in your blog or on your Facebook Status (and leave a comment to let us know).
Just make sure and leave a separate comment each time and you will get multiple entries.
We will do a random drawing on October 5 for the winner.

Whew!
That was a lot of info.
You’re probably tired just reading it.
I am too.
I think it might be time for another cup of tea.

It’s a quiet morning at my house.
My husband was up and out early.
After he left,
I decided I should probably get up too.

The house was silent when I padded down the stairs.
All the kids still snoozing.
(We are still in recovery mode from too many late nights during the Olympics)
I turned on the water for tea.

And when I pulled down a mug to make my Earl Grey this morning,
I gave myself a little chuckle.

Because this was the mug of choice this morning.
Hmmm…let me think.
What exactly am I going to “make happen” today?

Unload the dishwasher?
Possibly do a couple loads of laundry?
Grocery shopping?
Maybe if I’m feeling crazy, I’ll tackle Costco.
Or the kids and I will venture out to one of our neighborhood pools.

Nothing exactly extraordinary going on here today.
And really,
What could be better than that?
A day to work hard.
Go for a run.
To enjoy my kids.
Have a friend over for dinner.
The simple, everyday things that make any old Tuesday
Just a great day.

Oh, and one more thing.
Maybe a little sale at Bonbon.
That might be good too.

This week you can get a huge discount on two great charm styles.

Vintage Prints.
Normally $15 for only $10 each.

Such cute images to choose from.

And if that’s not enough,

Our Sugar Drop charms are on sale.
These charms are normally $16.
And for this week, they will also be on sale for $10.

What a deal!
So stock up for birthdays, back to school treats,
stocking stuffers (if you’re one of those really organized people who’s ahead of the game!)

This sale will be good through Sunday, August 19.
No need for a special code.
Just go to the website and place your order.
Both of these charms are on the Bonbon Style page.

So that’s it for this morning.
Whatever you’ve got going on,
Make it happen, people.
I know I’m going to!

Mother’s Day is only a few short weeks away.
And we are approaching the deadline for Mother’s Day orders here at Bonbon.
You must order by tomorrow to get your charms in time for the big day.
So don’t delay!

Again, we have so many wonderful custom options for Mom.
By far our most popular mommy charm is our Mother’s Heart.

It’s a charm that’s 3/4″ in diameter.
Stamped in the middle with a heart.
Surrounded by the names of your kids.
Or your pets.
Or some of your Mom’s wonderful characteristics.
Be creative!

You can wear it alone.
Or pair it with another of our handmade charms.
Like the sugar drop.
How sweet is that?

And we have a great deal for you.
If you order today or tomorrow (by April 27, the deadline)
You can get the Mother’s Heart Charm
for a screaming deal!
Enter the code MAMA at checkout
And you will receive $7 off.
That’s a $29 charm for only $22.

This deal is only good for two days,
So get over to the website now
And place your order!
