Do you have a charm bracelet? Or perhaps your mother or grandmother had one? I was given a charm bracelet when I was about 8 years old and have collected many charms over the years.
This month my book club read The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper. It is a delightful story of a widower who discovers a charm bracelet that his wife has never worn and sets about to learn the story behind each charm.
That is the fun of a charm bracelet, it is like wearing a scrapbook! Each charm evokes a memory of a place or special event. The hostess asked us to wear a charm bracelet (if we had one).
I don't have just a charm bracelet, I have a charm necklace! I decided years ago I had so many charms that I'd put them on a long chain.
My charms help me remember trips to the coast of Maine, seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up at night and skating lessons as a young girl among other things.
Charm bracelets can be theme oriented like this one of flowers and leaves,
or these two with only heart charms.
This gold charm bracelet oozes elegance.
Many ladies collect charms from their travels.
My grandmother gave me this bracelet after she returned from a trip to Mexico.
I believe my favorite charm is of the historic Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. It pops open to reveal the famous pipe organ inside. I sang there with my high school choir
on several occasions.
My only grand daughter turns eight in just a couple of weeks. I've decided to give her a bracelet and a single charm to get her started on her "jewelry scrapbook".
Do you have charms that bring back special memories?
I like to join these parties
