I've regularly added to my bracelet over the years and have amassed quite an assortment of meaningful mementos representing my travels, interests and activities. I can generate quite the "jingle" when I wear it!
If you click on it any of these photographs, you'll see charms from places I lived or visited and loved; my interests, represented by the motorcycle, sewing machine, Grand Cayman scuba turtle from my scuba diving days, knitting needles and yarn, camera, a barn, a piano and a dog; but there are so many more. I'd probably bore you to death if I told you the stories behind each one...so I'll spare you the details.
And, as if those weren't enough, there are even two more that haven't been added yet. My Handsome drummer boy and the "Welcome" pineapple to remind me of great days and nights spent in Williamsburg, VA last fall. All these are tiny silver memories of my charmed life.Be sure to visit the rest of the Silver Sunday contributors, and our hostess, Beth over at Gypsy Fish Journal. There are so many wonderful silver pieces to see, you won't want to miss a single post!
Donna,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful charm bracelet. I bet every time you wear it you talk about some of the great memories the charms hold. You are going to run out of room pretty soon! Happy Sunday.

Your charm bracelet is wonderful! I especially love that it has so many stories to go with it. Motorcycles and scuba diving... hmm that tells us about the adventurer in you! What a great addition to S.S., now I need to get my butt in gear and post! (just waiting for some morning light!) ~ Theresa

Hi Donna, Your charm bracelet is amazing! There are so many beautiful charms and it's wonderful that they all remind you of some event or place. Isn't it quite heavy?
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful Silver Sunday!
Hugs,

Thank you for showing your charms and no you wouldn't bore me to share the stories. A charm bracelet, by its very nature, is all about the stories of the charms. If there was ever an emergency that I had to leave my home in a hurry, I would take my bracelet.
ReplyDeleteDonna I LOVE your charm bracelet. I have one too... wonder where it is???? I haven't seen it in years. Mine doesn't have nearly as many pretties as yours. And you are right the sound is wonderful when you wear them. HUGS! CHarlene
