Start of the bracelet promo

Today is the first day of the bracelet promo and it’s my favorite one of the year!  Receive a free silver barrel clasp bracelet (value $65USD) with the purchase of $100.  Upgrades will depend on the store since all Pandora retailers are franchises, their policies vary by store.  I could not wait to take advantage [...]

Pandora fairy tale bracelet complete

The idea for this bracelet came about mainly because of the special frog prince I had commissioned back at the beginning of the year.   Since then quite a few ladies have had the same idea, and even Perlen offers to add the gold crown to any charm!  Well, there were certainly enough fairy tale themed [...]

6 months of blogging and bracelet photo contest!

I can’t believe it’s been 6 months since I started blogging!  I started Charms Addict back in late November 2011, and we’ve come a long way thanks to all of you .  It’s been a labor of love and I’ve had so much fun doing this — thank you everyone for your love and support! [...]

Two-tone bracelet finished

I had some time this morning and thought I’d share my memories from my two-tone bracelet that I just completed, with the help of my husband’s lovely Valentine’s day present. I got my two-tone bracelet back at the end of November from a promotion (buy the necklace, get the matching bracelet for free) and since [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day with Pandora

It’s Valentine’s Day and my husband surprised me tonight with the saturn ring of flowers and real flowers!  It really did come as a surprise because we both agreed that we’d be saving for the cruise (it’s been so hard!), but I was absolutely thrilled because it’s the last charm that I wanted for my [...]

The Frog Prince

I’ve been thinking about doing a “fairy tale” themed bracelet for a while…something like this: I was at a loss as to what to do with my Royal Wedding Charm, so a blue theme to go with the fairy tale charms was a natural choice!  I’m thinking along with the blue Muranos and other blue [...]

Ring-Upon-Ring

Even though I ran to the Pandora store on Thursday to get my free ring, I hadn’t planned on actually wearing the ring because I wanted to put it on my necklace. I’ll be honest, I’ve never really looked at Pandora rings and while I do have their “Life’s Charmed Path” ring, I hadn’t wanted [...]

January Ring Promo

The ring-upon-ring promo is here!  Guess where I headed right after work?!  That’s right, my Pandora store!  The great thing about the promo is that, at least for my local Pandora Concept store (Ben Bridge franchisee), the $50 value of the ring can go towards the cost of a more expensive ring, so instead of [...]

It’s snowing!

Seattle doesn’t get snow, when we do the city comes to a grinding halt. Originally, it was predicted that we were supposed to get around 12-18 inches which is unprecedented. While some parts of the state did get >12 inches, downtown Seattle got around 3-4 inches, which is more than enough to shut the city [...]
