For those of us who remember the TV show with the same name...I bet you're as jealous as I am that Nicky McCrary (who just married Mark McCrary...so...formerly Nicky Linne)...thought of these names for her dogs first!

Some Charm Bracelet Examples!
This is my Charm Bracelet. Angi Glenn, of Tiny Armour originally made it for me with all Western-themed charms: A cowboy hat, a guitar, a working spur and the wood bead. Well, as Angi has pointed out, I am very rough on jewelry. I of course broke the spur, and maybe even lost another charm that I'm not remembering. But the beauty of charm bracelets is that they're always a work -in-progress. I have revived this bracelet with a western/outdoors/bbq sort of theme and now I wear it almost every day -- Its the end of Winter and it reminds me of what is to come!
The charms are all all available in M Design Boutique besides the bead, the hat and the guitar, but there are similar charms to all of those too. Keep in mind that there are charms being added everyday, so if you don't see one of these you like today, look again...and again...and again!
Pictured Below is a result (a delightful one at that) of what happens when you think about charms, look at charms, write about charms, make charm bracelets, and generally get charm-crazy. This is my insanely charmed multi-ring bracelet that I wear around hoping people will see it and ask about it...and then inevitably want one like it!
Its got twenty charms dangling from all those rings, and believe me that's not where it will end! You can't see how cute it looks dangling the charms onto the top of my hand in this picture, but I'll add one soon.
In fact, I'll be adding a Maple Leaf Charm soon to commemorate our awesome trip to the Sugar House for Maple weekend in New Hampshire last weekend.
Not sure if the leaf should go on the single chain bracelet, or the multi...anyone want to weigh-in?
I've got more examples for another post, so keep watching! The next ones will be the Mother's Day Bracelets and will be available in M Design Boutique as assembled bracelets! WYSIWYG!
Honor Your Late Pet at the Buddy Dog Event!
I am borrowing an idea from Susan Owen.
I am tying "In Loving Memory Of...." Tags onto fifty goody bags that will be sold to raise funds for Buddy Dog, the no-kill shelter M Design Boutique is doing a fundraiser for on April 19th -- Online and at Gordon's Fine Wine and Culinary Center!
I invite you to send me your pets' names with any brief additional info you'd like added. I will create a tag for your pet to honor him/her.
There are fifty bags, so hurry and send the info! If necessary, I will add more than one tag per bag so all our furry friends (or not furry) can be recognized!
Also...please support the event by shopping at M Design Boutique on April 19th, as I am donating 50% of sales that day to Buddy Dog in addition to the money raised at the event.
More info on the event here:
Meet Frida, Dolly and Bub!

You like Charms...But you don't wear bracelets?

Picture Mom in style with her Charm Holder Pendant (Pendant and Chain just $40!)...and you're the favorite child now...especially when you give her the first charm -- for example the adorable Sterling Silver "Best Friends Break Apart Charm" -- um...get a Charm holder for yourself too, cuz something tells me she's handing the other half of that to you!
And I swear I'm not being cheeky when I say that my Mom would get the other half of my Best Friends Break-Apart Charm any day!Tuesday, April 1, 2008
