Small Business Saturday - Help us donate to charity!

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow, Saturday, November 30th is Small Business Saturday.

We will be donating 50% of all the proceeds from sales tomorrow to the Atlas Blizzard Relief Fund for the ranchers who were devastated by the loss of thousands of cattle and horses in the blizzard that occurred in early October.

These ranchers are in need, and we want to help them!

Please, place your orders tomorrow to help us donate to their cause! This is a way of life for these ranchers; not just part of their lives! Share with your friends and family!

Here is just a small sampling of what we have for sale this holiday season!

Tis the season

Hi fans!

Tis the season for shopping, that is!

Be sure to stay tuned, as I'm adding more and more inventory to the shop every week.

For now, you can feast your eyes on these delicious holiday favorites!













Signature S'mores Fudge













Signature Peanut Butter Fudge














Apple Cider Cinnamon Spice Bread


It takes up to 24-48 hours turnaround for all edible orders, but we are currently processing and shipping in 24, if that is your desire. We can also do "timed" orders, where you order and pay, and specify a shipping date for us - we're happy to make the holidays easier for you this way! However, as Thanksgiving and Christmas near, the shipping times will need to be considered, so please make sure you leave plenty of time for holiday/ weekend closures of the postal service when you order.

Thank you for all your emails and orders - I welcome them all!

Signature Fudge Sampler

Friday, March 9, 2012

Fudge Samplers coming soon!

Hello, fans!

I've had such an outpouring of great feedback on the fudge in the Essential Charm Shop, that I started discussing with my husband the idea of possibly doing a fudge sampler.

We both decided to go ahead and do it!

The fudge sampler will probably be available within the next week, but will have a limited quantity available. The sampler will be 1 pound, and include a little of all of the fudge we offer:
Signature Classic Fudge

Signature Chocolate Mint Fudge

Signature Raspberry White Chocolate Fudge
Signature Butterscotch Fudge
Signature Rocky Road Fudge      




For the time being, there will not be any room for special sampler orders, or substitutions. But I hope that in the future, we'll be able to do this!

Please stay tuned, as I will post here first when the samplers are available for purchase. There will probably only be 5 or 6 available, and when they are sold out, we'll evaluate whether we can sell more in the future.

FAQ

Hi fans!

I've been getting a lot of questions about several different things lately! Thanks for all your curiousity! It's such a compliment. :)

I'm going to post some FAQs about the shop, including new merchandise-related questions!

Here we go:

FAQ #1: Are you going to put new holiday decor and jewelry in the shop?
A: Yes! Definitely. Be sure to check back daily, as I sometimes add things here and there. But I can say for sure, November 1st will be a big day for the Essential Charm shop! :)

FAQ #2: Are you going to expand and do more baked goodies?
A: Not sure yet, but that's a great question! I might add a few more items here and there, as my creativity will allow, but I'm really not sure at this point.

FAQ #3: Are you going to release more coupon codes and savings?
A: I'm toying with that at the moment. I know that I probably can, but I have to decide when and how, etc. It's not an exact science, but I will try to look into this more, especially during the holiday season.

FAQ #4: What are your decorative pillows stuffed with? Are they safe to wash?
A: Awesome question! It's poly-fill, which is hypo-allergenic and safe to wash. But as you'll note in all my listings for the pillows, I don't recommend washing them in the washing machine. I think spot-cleaning with warm water is best, but if you have a massive mess on a pillow, I'd say wash it in the lightest spin and agitation cycle in your washer that you can.

FAQ #5: Can you give me a sneak-peak of some new items?
A: I think so! This will probably come just before November 1st, so stay tuned! Also, if you're not yet a fan on the Facebook Page, go there and be sure to "like" it. I sometimes post FB-exclusive deals, and also blog-follower-exclusive deals.

Thanks SO much for all your fantastic questions! I hope I've answered them all. But if you have another, please just leave a comment on the bottom of this blog post and I'll be sure to answer!

 I introduced a new bread to the Artisan Breads section of the shop:
It's Whole Wheat bread, made with coconut milk and all-natural Washington raspberry honey! (Instead of 2% or whole milk and/or granulated sugar).
I also started adding some autumn-style jewelry!           
This is the Hanna's Lace Necklace, named for a character on one of my favorite TV shows! :) It's pretty popular.

Next up is some more antiquated-looking earrings with a twist of boho: The Aria's Signature Earrings.
And - drumroll, please - introducing the beginning of my fall jewelry collection!

Pictured above, you see the Limited Edition Pumpkin Charm Bracelet. It's definitely perfect for this time of year!

Next up: Limited Edition Pumpkin Smash Earrings. These dainty little things look like a real pumpkin, surrounded by a root and stem, articulated by tiny colored beads, and one large wooden bead on each earring.
Last, but definitely not least: The Limited Edition Pumpkins of the Earth bracelet!  This sweet bracelet is a perfect hostess gift or accessory for any outfit!
