If I think of it I will take a pic of my charm bracelet which may need polishing by now since it is soooo old. I tell you I like to look at these and appreciate them, but they bother me too much to wear.

I have several charm bracelets and enjoy wearing one everyday. One was my moms. They are like metal photo albums of our lives. Yes, girls just wanna have charms. I have some loose findings and fetishes; I think I will start a new bracelet! Thanks for sharing.

Each Sunday I pine away for my lost bracelets, I come to your site and see such beautiful charms. I just may start a collection of my own. You know, I hadn’t thought about them for years….anad now….I miss them. I’m appreciative of the memory and perhaps I’ll fulfill that hole with something of my own. Thanks.These were just precious.

Wow I love all these. I didn’t even get around on Sunday to visit any of the Creative Circle participants. I have to go back and see what else I missed! I love all the little detail of your charms. Beautiful!

Sooo many purses up there in the bracelet.
It means: SHOPPING FREEDOM. Yes, that’s what every woman want.I LOVE this bracelet, cos there are so many of the charms are containing something even cuter inside. Very cute, fun, intriguing and unique. If you put this one for sale, in your own auction sale, I bet you’ll sell this one with a high price. But for a collector like you, it’s not gonna be sold for whatever reason. Well…just in case you got bored with it, you know where to send it away. |
