channeling my inner carmen miranda

 colorful, sweet, fruity fun!

this is one of my favorite bracelets
made from a variety of plastic fruit beads i've collected over the years.

At first glance I really thought they were just ordinary fruits but in fact it's a really cute accessory full of different fruits. I bet kids would love having this dangling on their mother's wrist as they hold hands on their walks, it's like having a picture book for them.

thanks. :)

there's one bead (pineapple) i've had since i was 8 years old.
(i even remember the bead & button shop from where it was purchased during a summer outing.)
a couple of beads (strawberry & orange) are from vintage bead store in maine;
many of the other beads were part of a keychain i had bought from h&m a few years ago...

the bracelet does indeed tell a story!
