Wow, I can't believe how fast this thread moves, lol I took some notes this time so hopefully I didn't forget anyone.
Watk~ Hubby is on me about a new baby safe car too. We are looking at SUV's right now because we have a great little car right but in the Michigan winters and little tot being a winter baby I would feel safer with 4 wheel drive (plus the extra room is nice).
TCC~ LOVE the pics!! That is so sweet about your elephant charm too! I love that some of the charms have a special meaning for us and as cute as they are we can still find ones to represent lovely memories. That whale is such a cutie and the horseshoe is really pretty in the silver finish
PP~ Oh girl, we love the Wii. Hubby has a PS3 for his "man games

" but I bought us the Wii for Christmas along with the Fit board and we have so much fun playing on it. I have a few of the work-out games for it to so after little tot is here I can hopefully get a bit of exercise on it (sounded funner than my treadmill). I only live a few hours east of Chicago right by lake Mi and Tup lives pretty close to me so one day we should all meet up for baby and Juicy shopping.
Dragonette~ I love the little gingerbread house! Congrats on scoring that cutie, don't you just love the details? That is one charm I'm kicking myself for parting with.
PinkStarlett~ Great pics and welcome!! For somereason JC charms look so nice on Bal bags. I think the colors just let the charms shine.
JuicyLover~ Congrats on the spinner charm! That is a perfect charm for your trip and if you win the 40 million dollar jackpot does that mean charms for us all

I hope you have a great time on your trip.
LuvmySheps~ That little piggie is adorable! I never find anything cute like that at our
Coach outlet. I bet he looks adorable on your bag/keys.
Sweetwon~ Don't even get me started, lol. I just started watching True Blood after finally giving in to the hype and I am hooked. I spent hours the other day watching all the back episodes and I am completely hooked.
GLL~ Whaaa? Swarovski leapord piggie you say!?!! Oh I can't wait to see that little cutie. How perfect, he can be your mascot! Congrats on your flamingo too. That is one charm I have to keep stopping myself from buying but I have a feeling I'll break down eventually.
SheSaid~ OMG your chair story cracked me up. I was dying! I can just see the look on the security guys face "OK ma'm please put your hands behind your back for a security check and no little chairs will get hurt" Maybe they were scared you were going to assemble a full dining set, lol.

LV~ A charm store!?! It's a good thing Vegas is far, far away from me. Between the Bal boutique and a charm store I would be in heaven, the AmEx not so much

I hope you have a great time and that your parents have a wonderful anniversary.
Dolllover~ I am soooo glad it went to you! When I logged on this morning and saw it was someone I didn't know had bought it I was afraid it went to a reseller. I am so happy it's going to find a home with you.
Tup~ I can't believe that seller relisted your gumdrop already! Kinda shady, at least we all know which one it is. Hopefully your other new charm will make up for it
Elisabeth~ I am so sorry to hear of your struggles with that seller

. It sounds like a nightmare and I hope it all gets cleared up quickly. I'm not sure how it works on charms but I know that with bags if they are not authenic it's illegal to send them through the post (though pp will still make you return them anyway). I bought a fake very early on in my bag collecting and was told by my bank when I filed a charge back that I did not have to return it as it was illegal to ship counterfit merchandise through the postal system. I had a lovely bonfire with the bag and still got my $ back. PP was no help to me in my situation though which was why I had to go through my bank. Perhaps you can get a letter from usps stating it's illegal to ship fakes and fax it to pp?
Tup, LV, Sweetwon, PP, LV, Dragonette and to anyone I may have missed thank you for the super sweet comments. All of my charms ship for free for you guys so just let me know before you complete checkout and I'll take the shipping off for you
OK, I am absolutely in love with the new striped boxes! Seriously they are the cutest. My little Buddah came and the box is as cute as the charm. I will be keeping these little boxes for sure.
