Three’s A Charm

Earlier this year I wrote about a fashion mission I undertook: three holidays, three vintage finds. One of them was an antique cash register key that had been repurposed as a pendant. Quite cute in itself, but I decided the necklace would be much more quirky and individual with a little collection of charms.

I’ve never been a fan of charm bracelets: they were too irritating, dangling around the wrist and getting in the way. Also, they were extremely popular when I was a teenager, and that instantly reduced their desirability in my eyes. But a charm necklace I could do.

So far I have collected three little pendants: the aforementioned cash register key, a little sterling silver heel, and an antique Moroccan coin gifted me last year, from a warm-hearted woman who took an instant liking to me. I am currently on the look out for some kind of hat pendant, but I haven’t seen anything I like yet.
