You have a charm bracelet. What charms are on it?
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?

1. My ex thought he was being super sweet....

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.
