Sweet: Contest!

Between the release of summer charms, the discount and freebie, and other things that are going on, I've had a really good week. And I want to share that with you.

Charm Candy is holding its first ever contest - I'm looking for one lucky person to adopt the very sweet Panda charm! This contest is open to everyone (however the charm cannot be shipped to Italy or Greece due to delivery issues)!

I will ask that if you are not interested in the Panda charm or are looking to win just to re-sell that you do not enter. The spirit of Charm Candy is to share and assist one another, not take advantage. :) Good luck to everyone!

Stash: Panda

I am trying really hard not to pull a tween moment here and shout out OMG! But I want to.

I adore animals, and I've loved just about every animal/creature charm Juicy has produced. This one is no exception, and has quickly shot up my list of must-haves. I knew I had to have him when he first started popping up online, but I didn't know just how great he'd be.

The panda charm is dainty; his entire seated body fits inside of a quarter, minus the lobster clasp. He is on the heavier side, but I imagine that's because he's solid. He is jointed like a regular teddy bear, with silver hinges keeping him all put together. You can see in the third photo that the logo is stamped on his bottom, and his paws actually have silver heart shapes on them. Between those bright green eyes and his sweet little smile, he will be very hard to resist. Despite the fact that this is a silver charm (I, too, was wishing for gold), I have a feeling it is going to fly off the shelves. This will absolutely be a collector's piece a few years down the road, provided that Juicy doesn't re-release it or produce it in gold.

On The Horizon: Panda

Spotted at Juicy's website: An adorable, hug-able, oh-so-lovable Panda bear, making his way to the silver family.

Be still, my heart! I've been in head-over-heels LOVE with this little guy since he began popping up on eBay. I had my fingers crossed and was so delighted to see him pop up on Juicy's site today. I'm disappointed that it is, indeed, a silver charm but that won't stop me. In fact that's only going to force me to finally buy the silver charm catcher necklace so that I can wear him ASAP. If you couldn't tell by now, the animal charms are always my favorite and this is no exception. He's perfect!

I'm sorry for the tiny photo; there was no way to copy the larger one. Be sure to click on over to Juicy's website to check him out, though.
