This first Charm bracelet is from our last Mexican Riviera cruise. I bought a silver charm from each of the ports. My favorite is the iguana...because I actually held one while I was there!!
This is a close-up of my charm bracelet when I was a teen. It was started for me on my 16th birthday and went through my dating years.... I have memories from trips, offices in school I held, and graduation. See the bit of the typewriter on the far right... I remember this so vividly. One birthday I wanted an electric typewriter...(telling my age here!) My mom found the charm and gave that to me in the morning of my birthday. I thought, oh, funny!! Later that day, I got my REAL typewriter!!
This is the whole bracelet...see how packed it is!!
This I just showed at Christmas, but it was a favorite gift from my friend Candy at Christmas. On Tablescape Thursdays, these are popular! Once I saw one, I HAD to have one. She found it at an antique store in Missouri. I just love it and was also thrilled that the scoop is there also!!Next week, I will be a bit more prepared, but I hope you enjoyed my first Silver Sunday. My hubs just said...does this mean I need to buy you something silver??? Sounds good to me!
PSS: anyone want to start a Diamond Day??? maybe that will work on him too!!! JUST KIDDING!!!

Your charm bracelets are very pretty, I love them packed with charms. What a nice memory keeper. And the silver piece in your bottom photo is gorgeous also. I'm glad you joined in SS. See you next week.

Oh girl start a Diamond meme ha ha!! Hey it just might work on Len...NOT!! I hope you had a great New years my friend...I think about you all the time and worry about you....I have so enjoyed getting to know you this past year...Hugs and smiles to you sis...Gl♥ria
Love your bracelet, CeeKay. I have one, too. I have even more charms to add to it but I never wear it now. Too afraid I'll lose it....
So...I display it in a cabinet instead. That way I can see it and enjoy it every day (and every time I DUST!).
xoHappy New Year, Friend.

Oh, Ceekay...your charm bracelet from your younger years just gave me a lump in my throat...not because I have one, but because I wanted one!! What better way to celebrate all the great things in our lives (besides journaling!!). When I first heard of Silver Sunday, I never thought of jewelry, hmmmm! I love the typewriter, don't worry sis, I learned on one too. So funny that your parents made you wait all day for the real thing! lol!!
Hope you had a great New Years Sweet Pea!!! :-)

Love your bracelets, C, but you know I LOVE that sugar cellar! I looked for one in Tennessee, but no luck. I'm still on the search. Gonna check out that antique mall I took you to. I thought about doing this silver meme, but I'm just too darn lazy to get pictures! Maybe next week!

I too saw this silver Sunday~sigh. I generally do not blog on the weekends so...
Sent sweet boy back to school this am after 2 1/2 weeks home and Mr. Decor went back to work after a 12 day vacation.
My vacation starts today. :)
Loved the charm bracelets.

I love all your silver things. I have a couple of bracelets with charms, too.
I would love to have a sugar scoop sometime. Yours is gorgeous.
Ceekay- Love the Diamond Day Idea!!
I love you sugar scuttle! I have one but it has gold inside the scoop. I remember getting it with S&H stamps right after we got married!! Why don't they do fun things like that anymore?

Thanks for visiting today......I forgot to answer your question about the love letters.....they are made of muslin and coffee stained so no they don't look like envelope on back.....hang in there I know you're traveling a rough road......
Hugs,

Ceekay~ How I adore charm bracelets. Yours is filled with soo many wonderful memories. I had always wanted one as a young girl. Now I have a handful in my collection, most are individually themed. Hopefully (one day) I'll be able to travel and start collecting charms from our adventures.
I've got a porcelain nut cup similar to yours in silver.
What a fun new meme.
Sweet wishes,
Sara
Beautiful and sweet storied charm bracelets. Thank you for sharing. ~ Angela
I love your charm bracelets! I wish I had done this first! I've never shown mine before, it has tons of charms on it!! I got a new Brighton Christmas bracelet this year, love it!
Hopefully, next week I can get back to normal, miss our chats.

PS I have read your other blog as well and I think you are a very brave woman!
I love charm bracelets! I just think that they are the ultimate feminine piece of jewelry. Love it! Love your music box too. It is lovely.

Haha. That's funny. Oh, I love your bracelet!!! My mom started one for me when I was 8. I have collected lots of charms over the years. I, too, have that seahorse that you have. I got mine when I was a child, but don't remember why. I'm going to post mine on Sunday. Thank you so much for sharing. I thought I was the only adult in the world with one. Rosie
I love your charm bracelets and how the charm each holds a memory.
Oh how funny - yep, let's have diamond day and see if our husbands will indulge us! Your charm bracelets are so wonderful. I still have my silver high school charm bracelet, and you are right -looking at the charms brings back so many memories. Your scuttle is so pretty. What a beautiful gift! laurie
Sorry I missed this last Sunday. I arrived late because I didn't know about Silver Sunday ahead of time. Loved seeing your charm bracelet. I still have mine from high school and have given my nieces plenty of charms through the years. I have a close friend that moved far away many years ago. We try to meet for a get away someplace each year. We started a charm bracelet of these trips. It's fun to have something like this that tells a story. Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by today. ~ Sarah
