I finally got my charm bracelet!
When our first daughter was born, since her due date was mid-October and October’s birthstone is opal, he bought me an opal ring. Which explains why, when I had preterm labor in September, he freaked out. Anyway, when I was pregnant this last time, hub asked me what I wanted as a mommy gift because he couldn’t think of anything. I told him I wanted a gold charm bracelet. Due to all sorts of reasons, we never got around to picking one out until now. He bought it today at James Avery. I’m really grooving on it.
I wanted to add charms for each of my girls and I really wanted some of those Aaron Basha baby shoes, but I had absolutely no idea that they were that pricey. We’re talking $1000 for a charm, people. Criminy.
So now I’m scouring eBay looking for cool charms. I have to be very careful to build this collection slowly so that I’m not out of room on the bracelet in 10 years. This is going to be very hard for me to do since I’m the kind of person who likes to take big bites to enjoy things more, rather than little bites to enjoy them longer.
I already have my justification ready for when I overbuy charms. I have 2 girls, and they’re going to get my jewelry some day, so doesn’t that mean I need 2 charm bracelets?
