Charm bracelets are one of those pieces of jewelry that you either love or hate. You are either charmed by them....or find the jingle, jangle a bit distracting. A few weeks ago Miss Janice showed us her charm bracelet and told us about her charms and so last week when I wore this one -- I decided to show it too.

As you can see...my bracelet is filled with hearts. I started this bracelet right before our 25th wedding anniversary -- I decided that I would find 25 different charms for each year. Well the next year I decided to add another....and then another....and then another....would you like a closer look?

My bracelet now contains 34 charms.

Since many of you know that I love to "play" with the dishes on Tablescape Thursday -- you probably won't be surprised that three of the charms are made out of broken china.

I've given a couple of these charms to friends who were going through really tough times to remind them that God can take our brokenness and create something quite beautiful with it, if we're willing to look at it from a different perspective. I've already picked out my 35th charm for this anniversary. This one is because nothing "charms" me more than .....

....being "Nana" to our four grandgirls!
Yes -- I'm totally charmed! Can you imagine what this will look like (and weigh) for our 50th anniversary?
See ya!
