Our third sponsor spotlight for A Blogtastic Extravaganza is…
Prize: “Etched on My Heart” Necklace, $54 value
Bonbon Charms is near and dear to my heart. I don’t know Erica, the owner and designer personally, but I do know that she is someone special. She has created several items for me that are truly unique and personal. These aren’t items that just get tossed in a jewelry box and forgotten about. These are items that hold special meaning to me, and will be worn for a long time!
Here’s a little background information about Bonbon Charms:
I am a busy Mom to four great kids, ages 8 to 19, and am blessed to be married to my best friend. Being able to create and work with my hands is always something that I’ve enjoyed, and I feel fortunate that I am able to do that now as my profession! I also thoroughly enjoy working from home, possibly because “business casual” often means working in pj’s and slippers!
Bonbon Charms began in 2005 at a holiday craft faire. Experimenting with a soldering iron, I had created some Christmas ornaments and was encouraged by my two sisters to make a few charms as well.
The initial charms I created were the best-sellers and have since become our bonbon style descriptive initial charms.
Bonbon Charms online was launched in 2006 and has continued to grow, mainly because of satisfied customers who have been able to create their own custom charms or themselves or to give as gifts. Each piece we create is a stylish one of a kind creation. I hope you have fun looking through our many charm styles and then creating your own….Enjoy!
I first discovered this small niche company several months back when it was featured on Jasmere as the feature of the day. I loved the look of Erica’s handmade, hand-stamped sterling silver jewelry, and really liked the idea of being able to customize my own necklace with the names of my children without it looking tacky. Without hesitation I ordered two vouchers to use on her website, and I couldn’t be happier with the two beautiful charm necklaces she created! They are so unique and personal. They aren’t something you would find at a department store. These are pieces of jewelry that you or a loved one will cherish forever!
Here are some of my favorite items from her collection:
 |
| “Etched on My Heart” charm w/bold link chain |
 |
| “My Heart is Yours” charm |
 |
| “Framed Heart” bracelet |
 |
| “Hammered Heart” Charm |
 |
| Bonbon Style: “Vintage Print” charm |
Bonbon also features personalized photo charms and silhouette charms. You can even make your own customized charms. You can submit your photos or artwork and Erica will create something spectacular!
**Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and one of these necklaces would make an awesome gift! Aren’t they so cute?! I can’t think of a mom, grandma, or special friend who wouldn’t like receiving a keepsake from Bonbon! Order by February 1st to ensure delivery in time for Valentine’s Day.**–>Want to buy now?
