charmed...i'm sure...

there is something so nostalgic about a charm bracelet...not sure if it is the jingle jangle when it moves around...or most likely..the fact that you have to get up close and personal to ogle over each quirky litte charm...a charm bracelet shows a woman's history on her wrist...

i even have a book about charm bracelets...and yes...there are some beauties inside...


i have two bracelets that i absolutely love love love...this first one...i asked my fabulous friend adena to pick up for me at the club monaco store when she was in ny...she not only picked it up...but gifted it to me...yes...i was very surprised...i love how big and clunky it is...and of course...it has my favorite...the fluer de lys...

i did make the mistake of wearing it to church one day...not a good move...as this bracelet does a little more than a soft jingle jangle...isn't it a beauty?


this next one took years of collecting to get it just right...my fabulous friend margaret had bought for my birthday...the wonderful link bracelet to get me started...at that time i had just a few charms...but over the years...i kept adding as i found just the right charms...the ones that represented me...and of course...i got several as gifts...at this point...i couldn't fit another charm on there if i wanted to...here it is...the representation of me and all my loves...


lots of shoes & handbags...(big surprise),
passport...for my love of travel...
eiffel tower...my most favorite place one earth...
hersheys kiss...for my love of chocolate...
ballerina slippers...for my love of the ballet...
baby grand piano & musical notes...for my love of music...
beach chair & umbrella...for my love of the ocean...or poolside... =)
baseball bat...yes...this girlie girl loves baseball...
red lipstick...every girl should find her perfect shade...
rings...for my love of bling bling...
champagne bottle in ice bucket...for my love of bubbly...
and a heart...which of course...signifies love...

it has been years since that bracelet has been complete...and lately...i've been thinking of starting up a new one...all with beautiful cameos...of course...i only have one right now...and no link bracelet...wouldn't this look pretty as a charm bracelet?


actually...maybe i have two...if i decide to take this one off of a necklace...


do you have a charm bracelet? if so...what are your favorite charms?
