Gawjus Clare came up with the fabulous idea for us to share our treasures!! Not the obvious ones, like our much loved families, or our sewing goodies …. the ones we’ll be sharing are the precious objects that mean so much to us. Now I know I’m a day late for this first one, but I want to play along, so here’s mine …….
My Mum bought me a chain bracelet when I was in my teens …. I think I was about 15 or 16, I really don’t remember. But ever since then she has bought me a charm to put on it that would mean something to me when I look back on it. Each one holds a precious memory….
This one was the year I fell and tore the ligaments in my ankle … OUCH!!
and some for very special times - like my wedding and the births of my gawjus babies …
This bracelet now has 50 charms on it … so you can imagine, Mum was having a bit of a dilemma towards the end trying to find ones that I hadn’t got. No problem though, she found this…
he he he …. it’s a kitchen sink!!! She figured I had everything on it but that LOL. So now I guess I’ve got *everything* on it he he :o)!!!

What a great bracelet! And how cool to have so many special charms on it! :0)
what a gorgeous bracelet. I love that you have everything and the kitchen sink.
Love your charm bracelet - understand the memories that each charm holds :-) When DH & I were going out I would get a charm for my bracelet rather than flowers -so I could keep the memories! :-))
Happy stitching, P
What a very special thing to have. It is almost like a mini album of your life.

Joy - I hope you have a teddy on your charm bracelet!
"The teddy bear is the toy we never part with. He knows all your secrets but never tells and is a friend who sees no fault and makes no reproach, and waits forever in the old armchair."
I enjoyed seeing your charm bracelet. I have one, too, but not the one I had as a teen. This one I started after I married. I thought mine was full but yours has it beat. I know they mean a lot because your Mom bought them.

Charm bracelets are so much fun. I have lost the two I had as a teenager :( but have tried to lure my daughters into the fun of collecting charms. So far no luck, but I have granddaughters!
To pinch a saying from a fave blog I love to follow, that bracelet is just gawjus
