Bayshore Beach Themed Charm Bracelet

My latest Whimsical Collection piece is a beached themed bracelet that I named after an avenue located in Long Beach, Bayshore. Its a popular avenue with a small beach that families like to take their little ones to in the Summertime. The avenue is even closed from 9am - 5pm to automobiles.



This bracelet is made with lead free, silver plated pewter charms and findings crafted here in California by Tierra Cast. It also features 5 Ocean Agate beads in various green, peach, brown and yellow hues and ten 4mm Swarovski(r) Austrian Crystal beads. The Swarovski crystals include Sun AB 2x, Crystal AB 2x (looks more green than clear!), Rose AB 2x and Citrone bicone beads. The Swarovski Austrian Crystals guarantee that this bracelet will sparkle on your wrist!



Let me know if you are interested in this bracelet and want it personalized. For an extra charge I can add either a photo pewter charm or handstamped .995 sterling silver disc.

Posh Blog Party Grand Prize

This is a quick note because I wanted to post a picture of the Grand Prize for The Diary of a Posh Mommy Blog Party. It's value is over $400!! Even if you don't have young ones, think of all the wonderful gifts you can give out to those family and friends that do. I know I mentioned that I would share my contribution to the prize basket, but forgot that I already had! LOL Here's a link to my write up on The Whimsical Spring Bracelet.

I'm also a daily sponsor and am donation a $10 gift certificate to www.whimsicalcharms.com. Good luck! I almost wish that I wasn't a sponsor, so that I could try to win all these great prizes!

Whimsical Spring Bracelet

I've been working hard on trying to get my new website up and running by the end of January. I still have a lot of work to do, but it is finally taking shape! To kick off the opening I created The Whimsical Spring Bracelet to donate as a prize for a blog party that will be happening the month of February at The Diary of a Posh Mom. I love how delicate this bracelet is... so much so that I'm keeping the sample for myself! LOL In the pictures you can tell which one is the sample because there are no periwinkle colored fresh water pearls and the handstamped Whimsical is a little straighter. :D



Even if you don't win the bracelet in the blog party you may purchase one directly from my new website, www.whimsicalcharms.com for only $29.95.

The Whimsical Spring Bracelet is a fun bracelet featuring 13 Fresh Water Pearl is Spring time colors! Bracelet is handcrafted with Sterling Silver and includes a handstamped 3/4" round sterling silver charm with up to 8 letters including spaces with your choice of two fonts. I hope you love this latest addition as much as I do!



BTW, the picture below shows an "opps" on the handstamped charm on the right. I accidentally double-stamped "i" when my hand trembled a little bit. Handstamping is so temperamental. Normally that is a good thing, but you can rest assured that doublestamps that can't be saved such as this one will be recycled by being melted down and reused and not the way I would send your charm to you.

Busy Couple of Weeks

Thank you to everyone that entrusted me with creating your Christmas gifts this year! Its been a busy couple of weeks. I just completed my last big order of the season Friday morning and mailed it out Priority Mail. Luckily it is only going about 15 miles. Here's a picture of the gifts, 1 Mother's Photo Bracelet featuring Swarovski(r) Austrian Crystals and Silver Plated Pewter Charms and Sterling Silver components and 6 Photo Key Rings featuring Swarovski(r) Austrian Birthstone Crystals. I just love making these gifts! I've been so busy, that I haven't had time to add the birthstone charms to my website, www.photodesigngifts.com. If you are interested in ordering one, the pewter keyrings with birthstone charms are only $14.95.

Whimsical Mother's Photo Bracelet

Recently I needed to make one of my closest friends a gift to help welcome her new baby, "5". Since this was her 2nd baby she didn't want a baby shower or gifts, but I couldn't not give her anything. So, since I'm in the process of trying to make samples for my new jewelry collection, Whimsical Charms I decided to make her a non-traditional sterling silver Mother's bracelet for her to showcase her family. I took these pictures quickly before giving her the bracelet, so I think I'll have to sneak over to her house sometime soon and take some better pictures.

The bracelet has 4 pewter picture charms to showcase her family (one each of the kids solo, one of them together and one of the parents together). The Swarovski Austrian Crystals represent the family's birthstones. I then handstamped on sterling silver the family's name.

Carmen loved the bracelet so much that she ended up ordering 3 matching keyrings (one for each Grandmother and one of herself). I hope you enjoy the bracelet as much as she did.

This design is coming soon to www.photodesigngifts.com

Welcome to Whimsical Charms' new blog. This blog is being started to help me to showcase some of my custom work that I am doing. I am importing my previous posts from my other blog that I rarely wrote it, but will hopefully be better about. :-)

Here are a couple of pictures of a Whimsical Charm bracelet that I created for myself to showcase this new fun design!
