Charm Swap


Last Saturday we had the charm swap at the Salvage Studio...it was such a good time. We had a "charm buffet" if you will. Beth had us all set out the charms we had made on a large plate around a long table. Once the swap started we all just went around the table picking up a charm from each of the plates. After everyone had collected one of each of the charms we sat around the table and took turns giving a little info about the charm we had made. Here's a picture of the charm I made. It's a one inch section of an articulated measuring tape. I glued a rusty heart onto it and attached the word true to the heart. It's inspired by the phrase "love is the heart's true measure." I enclosed each charm in a matchbox decorated with the phrase on the outside.
