My Mother's Charms
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this little book for my mom for her birthday, thinking it might help her get over the fact that I lost her charm bracelet many years ago! It didn't, but she did enjoy it very much. It is a light read, which was perfect for her, since she is recovering from a stroke. Many of the stories are set in a historical context that she can relate to. I also read it, and enjoyed it as well. Nice photos, sweet stories for each charm.
Must-Have for Charm-Collectors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I collect Rembrandt-Charms, but I'm interested also in the history of charms. The pictures of the charms in this book are gorgeous and also the stories behind the charms. It's a must-have and gives inspiration for the own charm-collection, nevermind you collect modern or vintage charms, you will find out about the symbolic value and the keepsake-value of charm-bracelets. After reading this book, you'll see the inherited charm-bracelet of your grandma/mum/aunt with different eyes. You won't find classifications in this book, nothing about sale-prices - but it's simply beautiful!

I loved every story particularly the one about the bathtub charm and her grandmother on Safari.Each page was one to look forward to.The photographs were beautifully done and seemed to pop out of the pages.I am sending a copy to my friend in France who also collects charms.
A terrific gift book

I've never seen a book about charm bracelets before. What a great idea. The stories are really well written and the pictures are gorgeous. I bought this for my mother for Mother's Day but sent it early because I couldn't wait. I sent a copy to my daughter and bought three more copies to give as gifts. Highly recommended.
