CHARMS, Ad Infinitum

Can't decide? Want them all? Anxious buyers often express their frustration at having to choose charms from a seemingly endless collection (like Outlander). The problem of course, is simple: the bracelet's length is finite and can fit only so many dangles. Or so it was thought.

Not true.  For some time now, the ability to attach charms to lobster clasps has been available to customers. This allows them to change or rearrange charms at will. If you fancy a particular charm one day, it can simply be switched out with another on the chain. This results in a fully customizable and chunky bracelet! 

Retro-fitting an existing bracelet with clasps is easy. It is available for a minor surcharge when all charms from a collection are purchased to add to the ones already on your bracelet. Contact me at maryfaithpeace@gmail.com if you are interested in this option. 

Go ahead. Start collecting charms!

ADDING TO

THE OUTLANDER FAMILY....

 

Many of you know of my fixation with Diana Gabaldon's time-travel epic, Outlander. I keep finding small mementos of the book in charms I pick up from all over. Worthy additions to my charm bracelet indeed!

Your Very Own Outlander Celtic Link Charm Bracelet
 
 

You've probably seen the pictures and wondered, "Where can I get one?" Only to discover (once you found it) a mile-long list of instructions for you to complete - before you could get one. Nothing ventured, nothing gained right?

I've had the pleasure of meeting so many of you while walking through the customization process;
watched while you battled with yourself over which charms to pick; quietly listened to your suggestions to improve the overall design and basked in the 
glow of wondrous feedback!

While I cannot do anything about the lengthy set of instructions (it stays - the price of creating a custom piece) I can ease you into it with this video:



It will particularly aid utterly lost and long-suffering DH's entrusted with Anniversary, Birthday or Christmas presents.

Fear not. I've got your back.

An Outlandish Way to Keep Warm

Shared with permission by PB.

 Many of you know my obsession with Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series prompted all the creativity with clay mini books. It seems I'm not the only one. Behold, an "Outlandish" jacket created by my friend PB, featuring all recurring themes in the books AND which she accessorized with matching book beads (not shown). She even got Herself to sign it! A truly collectible, precious work of art. Nuff said.

It took an Outlandishly Long Time

I started in May (2012). And just now finished. What, you say? The monumental task of re-sculpting the entire Outlander series of Book Beads!

Every book/edition has been re-done. In sharp, crisp, vibrant colors! It's part of the ongoing store remodel. So watch out for new (& old) designs based on Jamie and the gang in the coming weeks. Time to play!
