Hi Sculpters!
What a whirlwind the last couple of weeks have been! September is officially here, school is back in session, and we are diving headfirst into a jam-packed fall season at Amber & Co.
I wanted to jump in and share a little recap of our recent Charm Cart event, give you a sneak peek at our upcoming seasonal collections, and share some super exciting studio updates!
The Great Charm Cart Adventure
(Rain, Rushes, & Inspiration)
If you follow along on social media, you might know that our Charm Cart was originally scheduled for August 23rd. Mother Nature had other plans, though—it rained endlessly that week! We made the tough call to push it back by seven days, heading down to the beach to post flyers and spread the word.
When event day finally arrived, my charms were displayed in those gorgeous mini vases I originally bought for our May flower collection (they were too big for that release, but turned out to be the absolute perfect charm display holders!). We set up on a tablecloth-covered cart alongside our amazing collaborator, Zo's Art Cart, who painted a stunning custom sign for the day.
I’m not going to lie: during the first hour, we were so nervous because only one person had stopped by. But suddenly, a rush of about 10 girls came over, and the energy completely shifted!
One attendee loved her creation so much she ran to get her mom so she could make a second keychain for her sister. We also spent time chatting with a young, aspiring artist who was mesmerized by all the different mediums and handmade pieces. Seeing that spark in her eyes—that exact "Wait, I could do this too?" realization—is my absolute favorite part of doing what I do. That’s the community energy we strive to bring to every event.
We also had our Caprice & Co. stock out for browsing, handed out business cards, and watched so many adorable custom designs come to life. Zoe even put together her own custom kit with some leftover charms to take home!
Build Your Own Keychain + Custom Birthday Parties! 🥳
With the remaining charms from the event, I’ve set up a Build Your Own Keychain form!
⚠️ Quick note: I’ll be leaving this form up for the next week. If there's high interest, I'll keep it going! If not, I’ll be taking it down so I can save the charm inventory for our upcoming custom birthday parties.
Yes, Amber & Co. hosts birthday parties! We don't do rigid, one-size-fits-all packages. Instead, we custom-build each event around your group size, ages, skill level, theme, budget, and location (whether we come to you or host at the studio). Here are some examples:
Teens & Adults: Think custom jewelry-making or "build your own collection" workshops based on your budget.
Younger Kids: Fun, hands-on projects like painting and customizing trinket trays from a variety of fun bases.
Note: Because I balance studio work and school, I require at least 1 month's advance notice to plan and book a party. Message me directly if you’d like to chat and build a package together!
What’s Coming Up at Amber & Co.
We are transitioning our release schedule to two major Seasonal Collections for 2027 (replacing monthly drops), plus an upcoming mini-collection in collaboration with Authentic by Arawyn!
Halloween Collection: Launches October 1st.
Challenge: If we hit 600 followers on Facebook by September 24th, I will launch the Halloween collection one week early! (Hint: Cats... that's all I'm saying 🐾).
Christmas Collection: Launches November 19th.
Local Markets: Catch us at the Matheson Christmas Bazaar on November 21st (huge thanks to the Kidz in Bizz program by KDCDC!).
Mid-October Workshop? I’m thinking about hosting a spooky-themed workshop in mid-October! I don't have a set project yet, so if you have a creative idea you'd love to make, click the link below:
Caprice & Co. Restocks & Paradise Launch 🌴
In-Stock Now: Every single Caprice & Co. roll-on scent is currently in stock and available for $18 each (except Seabrook, which is arriving in our next shipment!). Message me to claim yours before they sell out.
New Launch Alert (Sept 18th): Caprice & Co. is restocking their full Paradise Collection AND launching a brand-new scent: Bora Bora!
Calling all my vanilla girls—the scent notes on this one are incredible. I'll be at my computer the exact second it drops so I can secure a massive restock for you all (and snag one for myself, obviously!).
Ordering & Tier System Reminders
Because school started today and I’m actively building our brand-new website behind the scenes, messaging me directly is currently the fastest and easiest way to place an order or ask a question. I usually reply within the hour or by the end of the day!
Don't forget to check your standing in our Rewards Tier System before the Halloween collection drops so you can unlock your next reward tier and snag those perks!
Thank you all so much for your endless support, patience, and creative energy.
With love and clay-covered hands,
Amber & Cori
At Amber & Co., we believe handmade is the new luxury. We create intentional, handcrafted art that holds a story—rejecting the mass-produced in favor of true authenticity. Every piece is sculpted by hand, for you.
