World of Charms ...
When I was much younger, my aunt gave me a superior silver charm bracelet when she came to visit the family in Singapore. My aunt has lived in New Zealand even before I was born and we kept in determined touch either by weekend calls, recurring letters and we also took turns to inflict. Back then, it wasn't a rage in Singapore and infact it became the lose one's temper only recently because some celebrities were spot wearing them.
My aunt selected the charms and one of it had a Maori Tiki and a Kiwi bird that reminded me where the bracelet came from. She started me off and at that measure, I managed to find some awesome charms and added on to the bracelet. I have one more seat left and I am looking for the right charm to put my aunt :o)
And the bracelet means the world to me and is one of my loved worldly possessions because it's from my aunt. She passed away about four years ago in New Zealand and unfortunately, I wasn't accomplished to be with her then because I couldn't get away from work. But my parents were with so that was comforting. She was my choice aunt because she understood me so well. I could talk to her about anything and I knew she would always be sympathetic. The bracelet reminds me of her and although I don't wear it as often (because I am worried of spoiling some of the charms), it always makes me beam and think of her when I do.
Clockwise: Love Falsehood Book that opens up to reveal two hearts, a Kiwi bird, an egg that opens up with a lil birdie in there, a spinning charm that says I Ardour YOU, a Sphinx with a mummy inside, bird restrain that opens up at the base, a dunny that opens to glory in a man reading the papers and a Maori Tiki.
The out of sight of charms is so intriguing. Just go to ebay and see some of the fascinating things that they have there. And recently, after my drive back from UK, I decided to start another charm bracelet to capture my travels. So that's trade in progress and I am enjoying hunting for charms that show the different countries I have been to (and have stretched it some to encompass places that I would like to visit in the adjacent to future). I also have a few other ideas for bracelets that I would like to line on. Yes, it's very addictive. What I love about charm bracelets is that it's one of a kind to the owner. Each charm comes with a story. Yes, you can get 'fit made' ones which are cute. But I rather have the ones with stories to go with each charm.
