Rainbow of Colors

I just love all the colors that show up in our Mixed Bag packaging. It cheers me up.

All The Pretty Lollipops

About a week before our last photoshoot, Bloombox tweeted about a new display. It took us about 3 seconds to decide to buy one. We knew it would be perfect!

It holds up to a dozen lollipops, which was perfect for photographing our new 12 Mixed Bag lollipops offering.

We also took a couple of photos with it holding just 3 lollipops, to see what other kinds of arrangements we could get with it.

In short: we're fans. They sell the boxes that the insert fits into in all kinds of colors, so you could totally use them for your next event!

12 Mixed Bag Lollipops

Look at all these beautiful piles of lollipops! We took them for our new 12 Mixed Bag lollipops Etsy listing, but they're also just fun to look at. I love how colorful and cheerful they are.

Shippppppping!

One of the incredibly important, but not very exciting, things that we deal with when running This Charming Candy is shipping deadlines. When do we have to have the box out the door to get to you by a particular holiday?

USPS is very good about making sure that we know that we need to get any package out the door a week before the holiday, for shipping within the United States. At Christmastime, they recommend allowing 3 weeks for international delivery. (I don't know if that shrinks during less busy times of the year, but that's my mental note: 3 weeks for anywhere outside the US.)

For your ordering ease (and because it's good for us to know ahead of time too), here are holiday dates (all US) and shipping deadlines for 2012:

Holiday	Date	US Shipping	Int'l Shipping
St Patricks Day	Mar 17	Mar 9	already passed
Easter	Apr 8	Mar 31	Mar 15
Mother's Day	May 13	May 6	Apr 18
Father's Day	June 17	June 9	May 23
Independence Day	July 4	June 27	June 10
Halloween	Oct 31	Oct 23	Oct 8
Thanksgiving	Nov 22	Nov 14	Oct 29
Hanukkah	starts Dec 8	Dec 1	Nov 14
Christmas	Dec 25	Dec 16	Dec 1

Eye Candy: Lollipop Corporate Logos

photo by Massimo Gammacurta

I found these AMAZING lollipops in the shape of corporate logos via Flavorwire earlier this week. I had a hard time choosing between featuring the Apple logo and the Disney logo. The artist has an 80-page book of these lollipops for sale. They're beautiful and amazing and impressive. Wow.

Old Labels

Check out these old school labels Susan found whilst going through some files! I guess we were trying to match the text to the lollipop color? You can see our current Blueberry Muffin & Pistachio-Marshmallow labels in our Etsy shop. 

Don't forget that our Greatest Hits lollipops are currently 25% off!
