Sand Story – Charm Memories
My Dune Story – Barbara Vanderstappen
My Dune charm bracelet is more than just a beautiful piece of jewelry to me. It’s a reminder of many treasured memories and happy times.
Starfish Charm – Lewes, DE
The Starfish brings to mind our many, many trips to Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, DE, where we have a surf fishing permit and go four to six times a year.
Dolphin Charm – Emerald Isle, NC
The Dolphin is a reminder of Emerald Isle, NC, where we spent six wonderful years vacationing with our children, who are now grown.
Lighthouse Charm – Hatteras Island, NC
The Lighthouse reminds me of the time I was successfully able to climb Cape Hatteras Light House on Hatteras Island, NC, despite having chronic back pain.
Wave Motif Charm – Sanibel Island, FL
The Wave takes me back to our 30th anniversary. My husband took me to beautiful Sanibel Island, FL, to celebrate because he knew I loved shelling.
Palm Tree Charm – Fort Pierce, FL
The Palm Tree reminds me of our second trip together to Fort Pierce, FL. It reminds me of the fun we had checking out the beautiful beaches in the area.
Sea Turtle Charm – Myrtle Beach, SC
Our first trip to Myrtle Beach is marked by the Sea Turtle, not because we saw any but because my husband, Pete, saw it, and bought it for me knowing I love sea turtles.
Scallop Shell Charm – Cape Cod, MA
The Scallop Shell brings back very special memories of our family trip to Cape Cod and a day spent at Brewster Flats. The kids had a blast playing in the sand and I came home with the most scallops I’ve ever found.
Hershey Kiss Charm
The Hershey Kiss isn’t beach related but is very special to me. Our son, Ty, started working at Hersheypark when he was 15. He worked his way up to a full-time management position in the Rides Department. He knew I loved Dune Jewelry, and said I had to have this one because Hersheypark is such a special place to us. We have many fun-filled family memories there, and we live in the area.
As you can see, every time I wear my bracelet I’m reminded of all these special times and just need to look at my charms to go back to those cherished memories and times. I can’t wait to add more memory charms to my bracelet and absolutely love your jewelry!
