Frankly, my Deer...

Hayley has almost finished Decopatching that lovely deer head. He'll have blue-and-white 'fur' and a swirly, green-and-blue antler set. He's sweet.

Come see him in person if you can...we haven't added the deer to the website yet, so if you live far away and want one you'll have to call us at 919-834-6260 (M-F 10-9, S 10-6, Sun 12-6) and we can ship one to you...

Lucky Charm Swap

You know you love Lucky Charms!

Join us for a Lucky Charm Swap and you'll find yourself opening a packet of 7 lucky charms early in March. Just in time for St. Patrick's Day AND spring!

The charms are due here at our store by February 29th and the packets will be available to pick up on Friday, March 2nd at our Charm Pick Up Party. If you aren't local, don't worry, you can still participate. You'll just have your charms delivered by post, instead.

The party will include a free charm-making project with shrink plastic and we also have an optional Etched Lucky Charm Bracelet Class that you can sign up for. Of course, it's a party so look for lots of yummy treats and drinks, plus in-store special deals, demos and fun.

  

Get ALL the Charm Swap details here, including the sign up form.

We'll mail the charms out the week following the pick up party and depending on where you live you should get your box within a week or so.

Watch this blog for lots of charming inspiration.

Do you have a blog? Help us out pass the word by adding our Charm Swap button to your blog or re-blogging a charming project from our Tutorials. Just email cynthia AT ornamentea DOT com so we know who is sending all that love our way!
