Charming

Isabella found something special to spend her own money on. Grandma Judy and Bill (thanks!) gave her some Euros to spend and she ahd some American money she had earned doing chores at our house.

She chose a bracelet and some charms.

There is a nice jewelry store here called Agatha. They sell all sorts of cute things, but mainly, they have dozens of sweet silver charms.  The quality is great and the choices are really nice, too.

Isabella had enough for the bracelet and one charm, the Eiffel Tower, of course. I helped out and got her the sunglasses and the Agatha license plate.

And then, Gran Fran told her to get herself one more on her (thanks!).  She chose a yellow spool of thread because both she and Gran Fran love to sew.

She is already plotting how many chores she will have to do to fund more charms. It's a great keepsake for her, and since I, too, am a charm bracelet fan, I fully support her efforts.
