Thumbs Up to eBay (phew)

I am so fickle. Back in November I was NEVER eBaying again. I'd been burned. Fleeced. Taken. Never again, I cried.

Fast forward three months and, yes, the wounds had healed and I saw these charms I really, really, really wanted for the book bracelet I was putting together. I took a deep breath, held my nose and plunged back in.

So glad I did because the charms I "won" (that term with auctions always makes me smile) are bee-yutiful and today I picked up the bracelet with them added and it is bee-yutiful. I bought the base bracelet and a few charms in London last year. My aim is to add a charm representing each of my books but I'm still playing catch up on the older books. I know the symbols I want, just haven't been able to find them yet. I am gradually getting there.

Cute, isn't it? And it looks even better in real life. And every time I look at it, the symbolic charms remind me of each of those stories and that makes me smile. Which is always a good thing. Anyone want to hazard a guess at which charm represents which book?

PS: also had my nails done today. The polish colour: Nice Colour, Eh? No, seriously, that IS the name of the colour. :-)

Oh I used to collect charms. Starting when I was 16. Then I lost one and I was sad whenever I would wear it. It's still tucked away in my jewelry box and has great sentimental value.

Bron, I love the bracelet and the idea behind it. I've never been game enough to buy anything via an online auction, too suspicious by nature I suppose, LOL!

Someone must have had a chuckle when they named that nail polish colour.
