New Stockist: Chihuly Garden & Glass Museum

If Seattle tourism is in your future, I'll bet a stop at the Seattle Center is on your agenda...

Seattle's famous Space Needle on a gorgeous spring day

Adjacent to the famous Space Needle is the newest attraction of Seattle Center - the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibition, where the works of the Northwest's most famous glass artist are on display in a beautiful setting. After your visit, stop into the bookstore & gift shop. An amazing collection of local artists' works are available, including luxury bath & body goods by Sweet Petula, handbags by Crystalyn Kae, and lollipops by This Charming Candy!

Seattle's a beautiful place. Come visit!

Local Lollipop Delivery for Seattle

We're super excited to announce the opening of our gorgeous Zaarly storefront, which serves the Seattle area with free delivery on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Specifically, if you live anywhere from Mill Creek in the north, to Tacoma in the south, from West Seattle in the west, to Issaquah in the east - you can order online through Zaarly for less than the cost of ordering with shipping through our Etsy shop. Getting your lollipops is now easier than ever!

Through the whole month of May, we're running a promotion - if you order anything over $30, we'll include three lollipops of your choice as a free gift.

Fine print: all transactions must be through This Charming Candy's Zaarly storefront, there is a limit of one bonus per customer, and you need to include the following code in your order notes: #CHARMING3

Wedding Candy Buffet

In early April, a Louisiana couple included This Charming Candy lollipops in their wedding candy buffet. The mother of the bride was kind enough to share this terrific photo of her handiwork:

Glass jars filled with candy, including lollipops

They opted for a wide mix of flavors including Pistachio Marshmallow, Honey Jasmine, Vanilla Cardamom, and Tart Pluot.

This is a really simple, elegant and effective way to include different types of candies at an event! I'm always so impressed with the wonderful variety of ways our customers come up with for incorporating lollipops into their celebrations. Congratulations again, S + H!

Crafty Wonderland and Mother's Day

We're very happy to report that we'll be returning to Portland, OR for Crafty Wonderland's Super Colossal Spring Sale this year. It's coming up soon! You can finish up your last minute Mother's Day shopping and possibly get a jump on the Dads & Grads season, all in one shot.

Come to Hall D of the Oregon Convention Center. We'll be holding down the fort in booth #32, next to our buddy Foamy Wader and across from Sweet Anthem Perfumes. Yeah!

New Flavors on the Horizon?!

It's been a while since we brought out any new additions to This Charming Candy's lineup of awesome gourmet flavors. This year we're excited to explore new combinations, inspired in part by the fragrance world. We've been working on some secret stuff with Meredith from Sweet Anthem Perfumes...

And while we aren't ready yet to say anything specific - it's too early to have any idea what the end results might be - here are some of the behind-the-scenes photos I've been posting on Instagram.

The bottom photo there has my little lollipop coaster in it -- handmade by LASdesigns. It's so handy during taste-testing!

New Cottage Bakers Market

Next Saturday, May 4th, we'll be part of the new Cottage Bakers Market at the Northwest Arts Center in Bellevue. It's not often that we do events on the eastside, and we hope to see you there! Hours are 11 am - 4 pm, and parking is free.

The market will feature traditional as well as gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and Paleo diet-inspired baked goods. Check this month's issue of Edible Seattle for an interview with CBM founder, Felicia. Nom!
