I am just about to purchase my seventh charm bracelet, actually eighth counting the very first bracelet from my youth. Several gals I know are collecting the new fashionable bead charms.
Friends of the Hunter House Victorian Museum have recently begun collecting teapot charms. A Charming Little Tea was held at the museum a couple of weeks ago and guests received a toggle clasp (what a great invention!) bracelet and then had the opportunity to purchase charms fashioned into teapots from glass beads. A Virginia artist creates these delightful charms ~ check out Tiny Teapot Jewelry at www.teapotjewelry.com.
So now, I have another bracelet, thank goodness because I have several charms for it already. I enjoy looking for the sentimental charms - souvenirs of places I have visited, mementos from special occasions, charms for my family's story.
The most recent charm I have purchased is a baby carriage; it will go on the family bracelet as I am expecting my first grandchild this summer.
Speaking of summer, I have a beach bracelet with seaside charms. When I cannot be on the beach, I can finger my bracelet and remember the sun and the sand and the shells and the cottage. In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina...

Welcome
As Director of the Hunter House Victorian Museum in Norfolk, Virginia, I sometimes feel as though I live with one foot in another century. I am glad that I do not have both feet back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, but much of the information I read and the reasearch that I find is quite interesting and worth sharing ~ here. Some of the posts will be simple musings and others will be inspired by the events taking place at the museum. Enjoy!
