Mine are silver. They are:
A Shar-pei A Chow Chow A kicking donkey A lighthouse A silver ship in a crystal bottle (quite old, got it from my mother) A pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn An old fashioned phone An origami crane A cup of coffee A spinning colisone globe with colored continents A state of Oregon charm A paw print (for my puppies who have gone)
What's on your charm bracelet?

Definitely the thought that counts: a saddle a boot state of TX cowboyhat
He's Irish so I thought maybe he bought it for himself....no such luck.
Yes, I am a native Texan, but I refuse to wear state promoting charms.

2. I have had my bracelet since I was 13 years old so it is very |
|
heavy; I am 56 years old and still add things to it from time to time.
Let's see how many I can remember without going to get it:
a donkey with DEM on the saddle blanket (gift from my grandfather) basketball state of Kentucky charm Sweet 16 St Christopher medal Dove of Peace MYF emblem Serenity Prayer rebel flag (my high school mascot was the Rebels, don't get your knickers in a twist) pennant from Olmstead School where I went through 9th grade Magnolia blossom from Hot Springs AR Longhorn cow from Cowboy Hall of Fame in OK City oil Derricks from Ok City Teepee from Anadarko Okla Mammoth Cave charm Wigwam Village charm German Beer stein Eiffel Tower my 8th grade ring a sleeping cat a Suguaro cactus from Tucson AZ a bat miniature 1963 Cadillac from Detroit Lobster on a platter Will Rogers Homestead charm sombrero from Mexico Conch shell from the Keys lobster pot from CT race horse a piano black enameled charm that says "choir" a 4 leaf clover a miniature carbide lamp a butterfly a chili pepper *** at this point I had to go get it to "cheat"
a round charm from Thailand w/ a Buddah on it blanket weave rack from Buffalo Village a tourist trap in OKla Canadian Maple Leaf (enameled; bought during my 45 minute trip to Windsor when I visited Detroit) graduation cap hopi style bear claw fighter plane from Air Force Museum in Dayton a train Indian basket a little key from an FHA award
The Thai charm was bought by my uncle when he was stationed in SE Asia
I have a skier, a sailor's knot, and a moose from Yellowstone that are not attached yet.
The catch on this bracelet will not hold due to all the weight so I have to get a different bracelet with a good solid lobster claw catch and move the charms. The current bracelet will be quite pretty by itself with no charms at all so I can still wear it.
