My blog highlights my passion for all things vintage inspired, quirky and interesting. My love for accessories, jewellery and fashion has inspired me to write this blog about finding the perfect gift. Over the years my love of unusual trinkets and hidden treasures found in the back of thrift shops has lead me to accumulate a rather large collection and I simply do not have the space for any more of my fantastic finds! This has lead me to be an expert in the "gift" department. I can still get the thrill of searching for, and hunting out hidden gems with the added bonus if seeing my friends faces light up when they receive one of my one of a kind finds.We have all heard of the saying "it's the thought that counts" well, my favourite gift idea incorporates lots of little thoughts. Charm bracelets, necklaces and rings allow you to add a number of little momentos into one gift. A fantastic accessory to see you from day to evening, you can make them as personal, funny, emotive or simple as you like.
I recently put together a charm necklace for a dear friend of mine. She is quite eccentric and i knew she would love the wacky, intricate and unique charms I attached to a chunky, gold plated necklace. I attached a small vintage inspired camera charm, a green swallow charm and a tiny, shiny moustache charm. In-between each charm i attached a small fresh water pearl. But, if making your own is not your thing I have found several cute on-line boutiques that sell very personalized charm necklaces/bracelets/rings that don't damage the budget. I recently came across a beautiful charm necklace on ilovecutiepie.com which is a message in a bottle with a tiny shell and some sand inside. I have already sent one to my childhood friend who decided to move to an island off the African coast a few years ago (i am positively certain that she will get the joke!)
