My friend Claudia gave me an awesome present and of course we are bias since we love Ashely Heathcock and her fabulous fashion sense. Much like Ashley these unique charms are very special not only in sentiment, but style. With every charm you purchase, you are giving $3.00 to charity!

So, if you are like me and like shopping early for the holidays please make sure to pick up a few of these charms as stocking stuffers!

Visit the My Charms for Charity online store or Parts & Labour (1604 S. Congress Ave., Austin, TX 78704) to purchase.
