When I was leaving behind my tomboy years, and entering my teenage years, I received a charm bracelet as a gift. Within the span of one or two years, I received several pretty charms. The delicate silver link chain, combined with the charms, would jingle-jangle, and I loved the sound of it. I had two different Christmas charms, a confirmation charm (back then confirmations were made much earlier than today), and a birthday charm. All of the charms had the names of the giver on the back, along with a few sentimental words (Bless those Engravers). I was very smitten with my charm bracelet. I enjoyed walking around the house and going to family gatherings, moving my wrist to and fro nonchalantly (of course), hearing the melodious sounds of charms clinking. It made me smile.
Unfortunately, I haven't the smallest clue as to where this charm bracelet is today. I have always been careful with my jewelry, but this goodie has just slipped off my wrist. I will always remember this bracelet, one or two items in particular. They were from my parents, and had....plenty of charm.
I'm missing a spoon, you a little charm. I hope you'll find it back one day, if not TODAY!! You're asking for the return of something that is very precious to you, so maybe the stars will listen.

C.T. I often talk to the stars and the moon. I never ask for anything, but maybe I'll hint about it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a young girl I had this ring my parents gave to me. One day it was on my finger and the next it was gone. In a strange way I hope I still find it. Granted my parents don't live in the house, but I do have a chair from that time that I would like to fix up. I keep hoping someday when the chair is redone it would be found inside somewhere. It is funny how we miss things, but the memories of them live on in our hearts. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame that you lost such a special piece of jewelry. I've always loved the idea of collecting charms to remember different interests, events and milestones. I do that with Christmas ornaments. I buy them as souvenirs on vacation every year from the places we visit. I also buy them for my kids to remember special events in their lives. When they move out, they can take them with them and use them on their own Christmas trees.
ReplyDeleteI love a charm bracelet. I have one now as an adult that my hubby and ids give me charms as gifts. It make me feel special. My daughter loves her Juicy one. Something about charms.
ReplyDeleteJoyce - I hope you find your ring, but you have very wise words: the memories of them live in our hearts. So true!
ReplyDeleteWillou - I do that w/Christmas ornaments too - it's very special, and nice to reminesce when you're decorating the tree.
Kwana - Yes, something about charms. You are very fortunate to be receiving charms from your family. Enjoy them!!
oh, hope it turns up. I had a charm bracelet too - it was unfortunately stolen, so much for "charm" - perhaps we need to wish upon a star for a little charm bracelet to return on our wrists.
ReplyDeletepve - I've started saying it "star light, star bright, first star I see tonight..."
ReplyDeleteHave fun at MOMA. I was on their site a few days ago keeping up. Looks like some good stuff. Enjoy!
I found mine after about 20 years at the bottom of my jewelry box under the felt. Look some more... It's got to be there!
ReplyDeleteAw, that is a shame! My signet ring from graduation was stolen and it made me so sad. Have a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you find your lost treasure.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you for a lovely Easter.
Kathy - I will keep looking. Thanks for the hope wishes.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Sorry for the loss of your signet ring. Having something stolen feels worse than losing it.
Renae - Thank you!
