Charm School Saturday

I love my charm bracelet! I started it about twenty years ago. It has charms from all over the world. Where I've been, where my friends have been. Some of the charms reflect my hobbies, interests and that of my family members too.

I started my charm bracelet when my mom gave me my grandmother's charm bracelet. So it has her touch to it to... I really do love it. I love the way it sounds and the weight of it.

This little bracelet was an accidental find. I purchased a jewelry box at a garage sale several years ago. When I opened it, it had several lovely pieces in it. This was one of them. I went back and asked the lady if she still wanted it and she said no... It was her mothers' and they didn't care to have it any more... Oh.... (akward moment)... okay thanks!

I think that it is probably pretty old... maybe from the fifties... The charms are very sweet and actually have moving parts.

The wheels on the train actually spin, there is a tiny little pocket knife that the blade folds out, the doctors bag opens, the tire pump works, the steno pad has several silver pages, The little step ladder says "step up to my heart".

Both of the articles below are interesting and shed light on why and when we decided they were must- have items.
