I have such a fun deal for you this morning.

These charms were featured on our website a few years back and were a huge hit.
They are made from vintage game pieces…a game called Anagrams.

We’ve taken each game piece and framed it with silver solder and a jump ring.
They can be attached to a necklace or bracelet.
Super cute.
They were a great bargain to begin with…only $10 each.
But here’s the deal.
Since they are actual vintage game pieces,
All of the alphabet letters are not available.
Bummer.
Some of you may be out of luck.
And because of that, we are offering the pieces we DO have at a great price.
Only $4 each.

There are a few different colors of anagram letters.
We have a buttery cream.

A brighter yellow.

And a teal-ish green.

Some of the letters have been more worn (or well-loved),
So the paint on the letter is worn off, giving it a distressed look.

I can tell you the letters we do not have…
We are all out of C’s, J’s, K’s, M’s, S’s, and T’s.
It was a word game, so we have LOTS of vowels.
Can you buy a vowel?
Yes, you can!

Because there are a limited amount of these charms, we are handling orders differently.
Email me at bonboncharms@msn.com with your order request.
I’ll let you know what colors of your letter we have available, and what condition they’re in.
Charms don’t come with chain, but for an extra $2, you can add a stainless steel ball chain.
I will bill you via Paypal and we’ll go from there!
Email me now, before they’re all gone.
Happy shopping.

Time flies.
It’s so true.

You have a baby.
Your world is feeding schedules.
And laundry.
And cuddles.
And praying that they’ll just sleep through the night.

Then they’re in preschool,
Energy.
And mischief.
You’re on constant alert.

As they grow,
You try to take in the moments.
Remember the funny things they say,
Appreciate each stage.

And then you turn around a couple of times
And here you are.
Sweet 16.

Sixteen years of fun.
Of laughter.
Of the privilege of being your Mom.
I love you!
Happy birthday, Claire.

When you live in the Northwest,
you never know when summer will arrive.
But you can be pretty sure it won’t be before the Fourth of July.

This year the spring rains seemed to linger,
And we have been despairing of the clouds
And longing for the sun.

We actually had great weather on the 4th of July.
In fact, there had been several consecutive days of warm temps and blue skies,
But you never want to say it out loud,
And maybe jinx the good streak you’ve got going.

But when the day before yesterday it was so warm (high 80′s),
And Sam and Hope were given the opportunity to sleep outside under the stars (and the trees),
It seemed like an opportunity they couldn’t pass up.
And I knew for sure.
Summer was here.

So, it’s about time for a new charm.
It’s been several months since we’ve done anything new
and I’ve been chomping at the bit to create.

Found this wax seal stamp a few months ago and loved its simplicity.
Just a heart.
Surrounded by a little stamped frame.
Sweet.

I think I’m going to be wearing this all summer long.
Go here to get more details and to see what other fun charms we’ve got going on right now.
It might be time to get yourself a little summer treat!
