Friday the 13th? Unlucky? Not for me! I spent mine surrounded by friends, food and tinkly charms on my wrist. All the guests had made ahead of time (and wrapped up) at least seven charms to give to each other. These charms were extra special because they were all as different and as special as each lovely person attending. Some guests had NEVER done any crafting and doing as well as they did on this tiny project was quite impressive! Beads, crystals, Scrabble tiles, hearts and embellished charms made for a great mix of colors, shapes, sizes and textures. Amazingly, there were two single charms that were almost exactly the same! We spent the first portion of our luncheon oohing and aahing while attaching all the charms to our bracelets. Then we (daintily, of course) dove into the spread of yummies before us, and ended with two beautiful desserts! It was pouring rain and freezing outside, but you'd never know it from the warmth inside! Utterly charming and lucky indeed!

What a "charming" idea. Sounds like such a nice way to spend a rainy day. Is this the girdle gals group that you travel around with? What fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I have been looking at charm bracelets on ETSY...I am SO in love with them! Yours are extra special! Wish I had been in on the fun!
