She bought her charms all over but you might check Lynette Palm Beach as they apparently stock them.  You can also browse Etsy and eBay.

If you don't need sterling silver or gold charms, lots of Etsy sellers have sets of themed charms.  You can combine them with beads and alphabet letters to make fun bracelets that spell out things like ANG or stitch or anything that means something to you and your stitching buddies.

Also ask your favorite shop.  About a dozen years ago my local stocked nice sterling silver charms that diagrammed stitches.  

UPDATE:  Alex Paras has charms of stitches, many of which are sterling silver.

A Fun Magnetic Finishing Idea

The Needle House shows off a really clever finishing idea for this Studio Midwest dimensional ornament of a red Christmas car--the hanging loop is attached via a magnet so you can remove the loop and use the car as a standup!  Use the right side arrow to see the video where the loop comes off.
