Charming

Grandma gave me something special this week: her 1940s charm bracelet.

She never let Mom wear it.

It's silver, and the detail of the charms is amazing. Most of them have moving parts.

They don't make things like this anymore. Here are some of my favorites (Sorry the photos are a bit grainy. That's how tiny these charms are.)



Pet Milk. My mom's favorite charm.


It's Cupid, stupid.


Saddle (moving parts).


Boomer Sooner (moving parts)!


Three Blind Mice (my favorite).


Cuckoo clock (moving parts).


Bird cage (with a tiiiiiiiiiny little bird inside).


The whole dang world (moving parts).
