Happy Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be all sappy and red roses.  I usually like to celebrate my mom in some non traditional way.  Last year we had a piñata and tacos in the park.  This year I am thinking we’ll take her to the City to play tourist.

When I think of my mother words like strength, resilience and witty come to mind.

How would you describe your mother?

Welcome to our new store

Welcome to the new and improved website for fog city charms. We have an awesome new shopping cart and have rearranged our store. 

Our unique store specializes in jewelry with meaning by only selling our word gems in two sizes jumbo and mini. We have added silver and brass to our collection of gunmetal and copper.  We also now have a sterling silver in the mini size.

The Jumbo pendants are 34 mm or larger than a half dollar in size.  They are available in gunmetal, copper, brass and silver.  We do not have sterling silver in stock yet but look for it in May.

We have more than 1000 words in stock with new ones being added daily.  If you do not see your word listed yet simply click on the “any word” gem and add the word you would like to the notes section.

We currently have vintage and recycled English, Spanish, German and French dictionaries in stock.

Don’t miss the miscellaneous section, this is where you’ll find all of the clearance and one-of-a-kind (OOAK) items.

Updated Words for Word Gems 03.13.10

We are just a few days away from our re grand opening and have posted the updated word list here for you to review.  Don’t see your favorite words, just send us a quick note and we’ll be happy to add it.

Sadly, our store in Emeryville has closed.

I still get lots of email from people asking where our kiosk is located.  I guess I have neglected to tell the online followers all about our closing. Stay tuned for my new ebook Tales from the cart, which is a detailed diary of what it’s like sell in a mall.

6 more days to the grand opening of our new space.

My favorite is the gold recycled washer, and the copper belt that I have dismantled and plan to use for cameos.
