Charmed.

by Alexa on November 15, 2008

I wear a charm bracelet, and for my birthday, Scott got me a charm from Julian & Co. to commemorate Simone’s birth. He sent them a picture of Simone, which they hand-inscribed into the silver. It took a while to get here, and then it had to be soldered onto my bracelet, so I just picked it up from the jewelers last night. I love it. I can’t seem to get a good picture of the front–something about the angles and reflectiveness make it hard to photograph–but in person it really does look uncannily like Simone.

Oh, that is darling. And considering my newest nephew was just born an hour ago, I’m a bit weepy over it. SO sweet.

Though it is so terrifyingly small, I love the way Simone’s weight numbers line up as 1-1-1 (1 lb. 11 oz). It looks lucky, somehow. Thanks for sharing the pics of this amazing gift and this amazing girl!

what are your other charms, besides the typewriter?

such a sweet idea, btw, and so much more sensible than a commemorative simone tattoo….

Aww…what a lovely and thoughtful gift.

I’ll try to ignore Jordan’s comment re: a commemorative tattoo, since that is my plan once I am done spawning. Eep.

Awww…can you clone him or loan him out to others? I too love the look of Simone’s birth weight on the charm.
