Oh man I would love to have these again! No Micheal's close by what a pain.

I will have some for sale / trade at the Pony Meet Up event! :D
Oh cool I'll have to look through them! I wish Micheal's sold them online. The nearest store to me is like forty miles. All this makes me wonder where the ones I had as a kid went.

If you have a Michael's close by you might want to see if your store is having a sale on these.  My store is selling the regular charms for $1 and the kits (usually $10) for $5.

Would anyone mind picking up a free Flash Charm guide for me from their store?  My store doesn't have them yet.

Yeah my childhood charms and necklaces, still don't know where they went...

I'll have vintage Imperial charms, a few vintage knock offs and some necklaces.

I had a bunch of those as a handme down from Cousins! I ended up selling them on ebay. Wasn't too many charms I was all about. This new set is super cute though!

I didn't know these were a thing in the 80's! I got the purple unicorn (of course) but I've been wanting to get some more, they're super cute!

Great picture ValhallaLilly. Does anyone know if Michael's discontinued these? When I checked last weekend I couldn't find any in store and none are listed online.

I started a great collection of vintage charms..on two different necklaces - one necklace is the elusive 'She-Ra melted plastic' pink necklace -- over the past summer. :D I will post some photos this weekend!

Yes, I started another collection.. haha... I was trying to just get the charms I had as a kid then I just ended up getting a lot more.. Hmm. Sound familiar? :lol: XD

I never actually had any of the charms xD but I did have a bunch of the brightly colored plastic chains that I would layer up, I look at them every time I go to the craft store, and they always bring me back. I might get some, just to make a fun charm for my 3DS or something. :P

That's sad that they discontinued them so fast! I recently remembered their other common name is Bell Charms. I found some the beginning of October at goodwill and when I listed them on ebay the lot went over $40 I was not expecting that, knew they were worth at least 20 tops.
