kayyle- That really stinks about your whale! On first glance, it would look authentic (minus the missing flipper). And oh good grief...I KNEW bonnetonnie's charms were off. I was always reporting her fake black high heel charms.
Cedes- The pink cherries are actually a tad smaller than the red pave ones I think and the stems are shorter. I got rid of my red pave ones awhile back or I would have done a comparison pic.

And lol, I don't totally hate the carousel horse, I may end up with it, but the missing pole just messes it up for me. It's not that big of a thing but otherwise it just looks like you're wearing a colorful crazy horse.
tater- Aw, well, at least you broke your ban for good charms!!
dragonette- Congrats on your gingerbread house, cocoa mug and all the nice extras the seller sent!
Tup- Oh definitely get the cherries if you can, they're amazing! I was going to wait to order it from S&Co. but I didn't want to miss out on it like I did with the panda.

And ugh, that really stinks about your gumdrop, I hope you can get that worked out, that's a significant chunk of money for a charm that isn't acceptable!
And that fake site is scary...I would hope people aren't buying from there and selling for high prices on ebay...
dusty paws- I remember that colored popcorn, I mentioned it a few pages back! That was my absolute favorite.
And in regards to that ballerina, it's just too freaky. They could at least make it like they did the mermaid and it wouldn't be so weird.
And I don't know why, but that one makes me wonder if it wasn't/isn't supposed to be made in silver instead of the gold.
