This little charm is really unique to me in several ways. First off, it was retired long before I started collecting charms. Secondly, it was badly damaged when I got it. "He" looked as if someone had dropped him squarely on his face. A bunch of the enamel paint was missing, and he only had one crystal eye. Good thing I enjoy a challenge. A little nail polish, a manicure gem, and he's complete:
Another really cool thing is I got this charm from one of my Juicy Charm buddies (in a round a bout way). She had it, sold it on ebay, and then that buyer sold it to me. I always thought that was neat, because she got to see pictures of him after he got his makeover.
My favorite thing about this charm is that he opens to show a super cute little candle inside, all lit up and ready for trick-or-treaters:
The bottom of the charm is printed with the mantra:
Eat Candy. Little S would
definitely agree with that, especially on Halloween!
Now for the bad news. As I said in the beginning, this charm has been retired for a while (it was a limited edition from Fall 2007), so you're completely limited to the secondary market if interested in owning him. And expect to pay upwards of $100 for him. Or if you're crafty, maybe you can score a fixer upper one for a great price!
