Happy New Year!


Thank you for the lovely welcome back! So many old and new Charmish friends have written in at the reopening to get new beads for themselves and tell me how their charm gifts went over during the holidays. It's one of the great pleasures of selling on etsy, the direct contact between designer/seller and customer. I love all your stories!

Holidays sales were greater than I ever expected. I want to thank everyone for being so patient with me- some mistakes were made. :-) It was great a bit of a frenzy, as well as great fun!

Second thank you: I appreciate each and every sale. You have all contributed to Charmish being able to carry MORE charms at once, so you have greater selection, as well as keeping me DESIGNING an ongoing new selection for all you wonderful charm collectors.

Everyone has been awesome about getting their charms on The List. Getting charm "refills" is happening faster and faster these days, due to volume of sales, so there's less wait. Yey! Looking for something not in stock? Jump on The List and I'll fill your order.

I am currently cooking up cute spring and summer themed designs, and have a big stash of Valentine's charms just waiting for the love to bloom. Are you ready for the love??

Happy New Years,
Aly

Bite Me Sale!


This is the BITE ME sale! 10% off all Charmish charm beads. Solid sterling! Yea! Bite! Bite!

No-no, Sock Monster, this is NOT the Bite Me sale, that sounds very rude to our guests! Please try to mind your manners.

Sorry about that. This is the "Pre Holiday Sale at Charmish" note. We are letting everyone know that on Friday, all the great charms in Charmish will be 10% off. Storewide savings to make room for new charms and Holiday charms coming next week! OK?

HOW do you get 10% off? Choose your charms, commit to buy, do everything on the etsy sale but the last step, then I'll take 10% off and invoice you through paypal.

What does this sale include? Charms, glass sets, everything EXCEPT empty bracelets and Christmas charms (not Santa, Snowman or Angel). Free shipping on orders over $100.

Sock Monster, if you are GOOD, I'll let you help me sort the laundry later....... :-)

Everyone on the waiting list: I have all your special treats duly noted and will contact you when they come in.

Holidays are coming! And of course a refill on all my holiday themed charms- some that you have seen, and some you haven't, in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, check into Charmish on Friday for a big pre-holiday SALE! Need to make some room for new beads......


And of course, I am thinking ahead to Spring themes. I'm designing goodness for Easter and stocking new treats for your Valentine's pleasures. Now you KNOW how good I am to you!

Search Option

The New Designs Release party was excellent, thank you for all who came to par-tay yesterday! I still have lots and lots of stock, so please tell your friends. The more that sells, the more NEW beads I can order.

Now that Charmish has so MANY charms in stock, let's talk about how to search the store for specific things you are looking for. I do have categories, but you may want to jump in and look for something more specific. Once you are open to Charmish's page, you can use the search box at the top to find something specific. Want to search for "cat" or "car" or "fish", put that word in the search box for Charmish's shop (don't' go back out to the main etsy search engine).

Happy weekend everyone!
