Buyers are raving!
This shop got multiple 5-star reviews in the past 7 days.
Announcement
At this time, I am not accepting custom orders. This includes significant alterations on existing products. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this might cause.
Free US first class shipping on orders $35 and over! Current processing time is 3-5 business days. I like to spend weekends with family so weekend days are not counted in the processing time. But I will answer your messages as soon as I can, no matter the day.
What exactly is processing time? It's the time it takes me to make your item but also the time it takes me to get to your item, given how many orders are in front of you. Each item marked "made at the time of your order" in the description is not in stock but made at the time you order. If the item states "ready to ship" it will ship within one business day. Orders that combine ready to ship and made to order use the made to order time frame, which is currently 3-5 business days. All that said, I try hard to get your orders completed as soon as possible, but I'm the only one who makes my items. Handmade takes time, and I'm so thankful if you decide to support my small business! If you have any questions about processing please ask. I'm happy to help.

I'm blessed with the best customers, many coming back again and again. I hope you can be one of them!
Need a custom order? I will work hard to try and fulfill your needs! Convo me or click the custom order button on my main page just below the categories. There are restrictions on some types of items for custom orders. This varies by item.
I've been selling my creations since 2004 in various online venues. My various online and in person sales top 6000! My Etsy sales history is mostly from May 2017 to present. Buy with confidence that you'll be well taken care of!
I sell a variety of items including beaded bookmarks (which have glass, stone, lucite, vintage and handmade components), purse tassels, felt flower book bands, unique ornaments and lately some embroidery items. The variety you'll find in my bookmarks definitely make them one of a kind! I have a huge supply of beads, including over 400 in seed bead colors alone!

About CandysBookThongs
Beading became my passion.
I began my shop online in 2004 after getting an idea for a lovely little beaded bookmark, a book thong, since the beaded area fits in the crack of the book! I soon branched out to many other beaded items, and have now added keychain/purse tassels and unique beaded ornaments to my store, as well as felt flower book bands!
Most of my history of selling has been on ebay, not etsy. But in May, 2017 I've devoted myself to etsy selling, gaining all but 30 of my sales since then.
I've slowly built up my bead and jewelry collection over time to take up one entire room in our home! Chain, findings, sterling silver beads, Swarovski elements, lampwork beads galore, over 400 varieties of seed beads, stone beads by the hundreds...

Owner
I'm a mother of three, stay at home grandma of three. I began beading in 2004. Creating is a long standing passion. My favorite supply are my bead caps, which I call my 'bead hats'. Tiny metal 'cups' my beads sit in, or, wear on their heads 😉

Frequently asked questions
Can you create something just for me?
Short answer: Yes! Longer answer: depending on your wants I'm sure we can work together to make something great! I find this works best when you give me ideas and allow me to create. I do reserve the right to limit changes based on cost.
I'm buying a gift. Do you offer gift wrap?
Yes! My items are wrapped in tissue and tied with twine.
What are the metal components you use made of?
Unless otherwise stated, my items are generally plated.
Do you make your lampwork beads/pendants/polymer clay beads?
I don't make the lampwork beads, no. I do buy from etsy sellers that are independent artisans who create beautiful beads!
I do make my picture tile pendants! While I don't generally create the images, that's just too much time for me to spare, I do try to coordinate what's popular with what appeals to me, and mesh with color and charms, etc. I do my best to create items that are NOT the intellectual property of others who have not given me permission to use. This is why you won't find any licensed products like Disney, Nickelodeon, etc., in my store.
I used to make many of my polymer clay beads, but don't anymore. Again, not enough time! I do purchase from etsy creators!
What is stabilized turquoise in your items?
Stabilized turquoise:
Most turquoise sold for use in jewelry-making is stabilized. There are three main stabilization treatments currently applied to turquoise stones:
Paraffin polish
Polyresin polish
Impregnation of a colorless bonding agent--commonly plastic--for basic stabilization. This stabilization increases the durability, hardness, chemical resistance and uniform appearance of the turquoise. Stabilization frequently darkens the color and gives the stone a glossy appearance--a handy way to identify basic stabilized turquoise.
Ethical or Eco Friendly Natural Beads
I try my best to provide my customers with components they would be content wearing, not just happy with the look. I do use some bone, horn and wood beads. These beads are all sourced humanely, ethically or eco friendly. For example some are domestic animal products, while others are sourced from animals dying a natural death and to honor the animal all the parts are used, and in turn give workers in other countries a fair living wage (fair trade). No animal product I use is from an endangered animal nor any wood from an endangered tree.
