I figured I'd post something about my pandora bracelet because it's almost completely full. Here's an overview of the bracelet. As you can see I can probably fit one or two more charms on this bracelet but thanks to Pandora's most recent promotion I have another bracelet waiting in the wings once this one is finished.
Ok, so each one of these charms means something to me. As with most charm bracelets they tell a story. So the first bead is a chevron pink bead that I believe you can see better in another picture. The second one on the left is a clasp that I got with the bracelet. The third charm is a turtle. The reason I got a turtle charm is because my grandmother, who passed away 2 years ago loved turtles. She lived on the water and every year turtles would come up on her beach and lay their eggs. Once they laid their eggs, she would mark where the eggs were laid and we would patiently wait for them to hatch. Once they hatched she would make sure they would make it to the water but sometimes the turtles would get a little turned around and would wind up in her garden. If that was the case she would keep it in a bucket and give me a call and I would come over and play with the turtle then eventually release them back into the water. I have 2 heart spacers that fill the empty space, no great story there. I have a V pendant for my first initial and last initial. The next bead is from their most recent collection. It a white bead with pink ribbons around it. It's their newest breast cancer charm, which I got in honor of my grandmother, who conquered breast cancer twice before she passed. The next charm is an owl, which is the only kind of bird I like. I named the charm Earle, after the owl that lives in my neighbors tree. The last charm you see in this picture is a cat with a little heart pendant. Needless to say this charm represent my little tinks, who I love dearly.
I was having a little difficult photographing the bracelet in it's entirety so here are the charms broken up a little. The dice charm I got in Atlantic City in Harrah's casino with my other grandmother, who loves to gamble. After I bought this charm I won $50 on a slot machine. The next charm is a sleeping cat which I got because of Tinks because she always sleeps on a pillow. My mom bought me my next charm which is a present. She wanted to buy me a charm that represented my christmas birthday so this was the one we chose because she said I was her best christmas present ever! The last charm is a baseball. I absolutely love baseball, in particular the Yankees, so this is my charm for them!
The charm you can't really see is a stack of books with an owl in a graduation cap on the top of it. I got this charm when I graduated college. The third charm is a seashell with a starfish on it. I got this because I consider myself a beach kid because I've lived right down the street my whole life. The last charm here is my cupcake charm and I got it because i love cupcakes!!!
The theme of this bracelet was silver and pink. I'm thinking my next bracelet will be black and white!!!
