Delighted!


This site works as a showroom for whole sale orders of 10 charms or more. Price list on request.

If you would like to view charms for smaller orders please go to: http://laurelsharp.etsy.com where you can see all of my wares.
Enjoy!

These charms are made from silver, tin and glass. I have collected visual media from a variety of sources both modern and vintage to couple with phrases and words in order to tell a little story in each charm. I find visual communication very powerful and seek to use it to affirm the sweet, spiritual, sexy, wild, passionate, humorous and rebellious nature of life. I think it is said best in the phrase:
Viva La Vida!

Swimming or bathing while wearing not suggested.

Silver Polish does wonders on the areas that may tarnish over time.

WORLD ONE FESTIVAL





On the evening of the 3rd and all day July 4th Corey and his wife Debra along with lots of musicians, volunteers, sound people, foodies, artists and other smart people put on the WORLD ONE FESTIVAL IN El Cerrito. Corey decided 3 years ago that the charms were a great addition to the event and each year we've put together a sweet collection from our favorite images. Collaborate!!

If you want to check out more about the event go to: worldone@worldoneradio.org. Here you will find all the info you need on the big day. I like to bring a blanket and enjoy the music and food all day long, people watching and soaking up the usual sun. The website also features a stream so you can hear the beats that Corey puts together year round. Have fun!!!

Custom Order For The Ladies at La Casita



These charms were made for Rosa, Vicky and Pilar at La Casita day care in Albany. The parents who bring their children to this day care are so grateful and impressed by the excellent care and generous support of these women that they commissioned me to make each of them a charm in thanks for their exceptional work. It really touched me to witness such a high standard of recognition that the parents extended as I think that it cannot be underestimated the value of this sort of support in raising todays children up. Let us praise the mother's all no matter the biological affiliation.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Tender Heart


Very Near You

Never too many poems!

I would not ask
a happier task
than in some way
to cheer you;
I would not care
to be anywhere,
unless it was
very near
you.


Sweetest Flowers

Another lovely poem:

Life bear for you its
sweetest flowers.
