The Charm Cellar is Open for Business
It’s been a while since I started visualizing having my own site where I sell vintage charms. About a year ago I began with a vision and now it’s finally ready.
My New Maps of European Countries Charm Bracelet
I just bought this bracelet on ebay and was going to disassemble it to sell but now I can’t decide if I want to sell it or keep it. It’s got ten enamel sterling silver European country maps including their flags in pastel colors. I’m a sucker for enamel charms.
Thomas L Mott – Vintage TLM Charms For Sale
I’m a big collector of Thomas L Mott vintage charms. As I sorted through my collection recently I realized that I have a few duplicates and have decided to offer them for sale. Most are bright and pretty enamels and some are sterling silver with a warm vintage patina.
Collections A La Fitzcharming
This is another look at the things I collect, other than charms of course. Last time I showed you my Artesania Rinconada dogs and birds, my blue soapstone eggs, and my glass pumpkins. Of course that wasn’t all. You know those of us with the collector gene don’t stop at just a few collections, so this will be a continuing series until I get to the end, which may take a while.
My Collections Through the Years
I’ve been a collector as long as I can remember. Since I was young I’ve been fascinated by gathering together groups of things. Mostly small things. I’ve always found it great fun to find things from different sources that are similar and arrange them in little groups. Through the years my interests evolved and I’ve started collecting all kinds of little things.
Cincinnati Charm Convention – The Last Day
Sunday was the final official day of the charm gathering. We got up early in the morning and several of us went to an antique / flea market in Indiana. The rest stayed at the hotel and did more charm sharing. I was one of the antique market folks. Sandy accompanied us on our fun field trip. I haven’t been able to find the quality of antique markets in Central Florida that there are in the Midwest so I was anxious to check it out.
Cincinnati Charm Convention – Day Two – Part Two
So after a day of complete charm overload on Saturday, we continued to celebrate into the night. Sandy and Pam’s “personal jewelers” threw us a private cocktail party at Krombholz jewelry store. Representatives from Hug Jewelers were also there and they both had a huge spread of new and vintage charms and bracelets for us to purchase.
Cincinnati Charm Convention – Day Two – Part One
Day two of Convention was so fun filled that it deserves two separate posts. So continuing with the details of my glorious weekend with my fellow charmers, beginning with a Saturday morning brunch at Lisa C’s house and then a charm marathon at the hotel………
Cincinnati Charm Convention 2009
A couple of weeks ago I attended the very first national meeting of the “Joan’s Vintage Charm and Charm Bracelets” group. We met in Cincinnati and so our first event was called the Cincinnati Charm Convention.
News About My Vintage Jewelry Business
My new website “The Charm Cellar” should be ready soon. I am eagerly looking forward to testing my skills at selling vintage charms on my very own independent site. Also I bought a new program called Phpbay that allows me to showcase my favorite ebay categories and searches on my blog pages.
Snapeez Locking Jump Rings Free with Every Vintage Charm Purchase
It’s a new marketing strategy I’m rolling out. These are amazing little devices that snap shut pretty securely when used to attach a charm to a charm bracelet. I haven’t lost a charm yet and I’ve been using them for a while now. And they are much less expensive than soldering by a jeweler. It’s [...]
