Oh my word!! I am seriously SO EXCITED to tell you about our new charm bracelet for 2013. We’ll be offering one charm every month–and at the end of year you’ll have a gorgeous bracelet. How fun is that? With the holidays coming we’ve put together something amazing–so read on.

Each charm is so sweet–hand-molded and cast in fine pewter. Lots of love and hours were put into making each charm special.

January’s charm is ‘the lucky elephant’. And we’ll announce a new charm each month. You’ll have to wait until the beginning of each month to find out which limited edition charm will be for sale. It will be one of the charms pictured here.

The gorgeous silver-filled bracelet chain comes with a tiny custom initial tag. If you purchased the bracelet chain and each charm separately the total comes to about $238, but we are offering the whole package–bracelet and 12 months of charms plus shipping for only $125 for a limited time. Isn’t this the perfect gift? I’ve got a few people in mind that this is perfect for! I want them to know I love them month after month.

You can find the pre-sale charm bracelet here. Isn’t this a fun gift for a sister, mom or dear friend? I love it!

A few months ago, Michael’s Arts & Crafts store asked me to create a necklace to inspire their community. Of course, I was honored to help out! I took our popular, pretty like a bow necklace, and created a simpler, wire-wrapped version. I hope you love it! Scroll down to see the step by step pictures–and find directions at the end of the post!

Cut a length of 16 gauge wire at least 8 inches long {better to have it too long, than too short!}

Place your needle nose pliers about 2” from the end, and create a loop.

Move pliers over about 1.5” and create a second loop. Bring extra wire behind the two loops.

Wrap wire up and around between the two loops to create the center of the bow.

Trim ends of bow to the same length.

Hammer bow to flatten and make it look more like a ribbon.

File any rough edges until smooth.

Use 22 gauge wire and wrap a few small beads for artisan details and finish with chain. Attach hammered bow to beads with jump rings.

Now go grab some wire and get to work! Hop over to Michael’s blog to find more inspiring projects. Happy Friday, sweet friends! We are back in England and planning a trip to Brighton, a stop in London and some down time too. What do you have planned this weekend?
