I opened Pandora's Box...

I finally got my very own Pandora charm bracelet! (purchased by my lovely mother)

I took my mom over to Charmed by Claire in Cranbury, who is a Gold retailer (carries full line of Pandora charms), and finally got my "starter" bracelet. As you can see, you can pick from Murano glass beads, silver designs, animal shapes, and many more! You can also go all silver (like mine), all gold, or two-tone.




If you want to start your own Pandora bracelet, here are a few tips from Claire:

1. Get your wrist measured. You want the bracelet to be about 1/4 in larger to make room for the charms.
   
2. Spacers(first charm on the left) keep the beads from sliding up and down the bracelet. They have an easy open-close clasp.
   
3. You don't really need spacers until you buy more charms. Don't bother with them yet.
4. Feel free to get more than 1 bracelet. They are great to stack together. You can then connect them together to make about a 16in necklace.

There are many websites selling the Pandora charms. Claire will ship them out to you as well. You can also get on her mailing list to learn of Pandora trunk shows and sales.

Once you open Pandora's Charm Box, you unleash the shopping demon-ess inside!

Big Style in a Small Town: Patina Home

Rob and I took a brief stroll in a fairly new store in Cranbury called Patina Home. It replaced the hometown hardware store, which I will gladly admit that I have shopped in a few times. Anyway...I fell in love with this place from the outside stoop! When you walk in, it is as if you have entered a Hampton's or New England design studio. The home goods in this store are bright, cheerful, full of brilliant color and design, and simply divine.

You can find anything from table linens, to stationary, to coasters, to rugs and bedding. And products from top-notch companies as well. When I get some more time, I will browse more and take pictures, but here is a sampling of the companies you'll find at Patina Home:

• Caspari
• Williamsburg Marketplace Collectibles
• Pine Cone Hill Bedding
• Preppy Cards
• Discoll Design Stationary
• Dash & Albert Rugs
• What's the Occasion Stationary & Gifts
• A. Tierney
• Maude Asbury

Make a stop at Patina Home and marvel at the cuteness that Cranbury is. Stay awhile if you can. Stop in to Hannah & Mason's or Cranbury Pizza for lunch. You will be happy you did. It really is like a movie town.

What to buy for your trendy friend or chic mom?

Take a stroll through lovely Pennington and stop in at the Front Porch.

If you like to sample Crabtree & Evelyn, try on trendy and handcrafted jewelry, find colorful prints for the kitchen, or simply meander, then this is your place.

While you're in town, stop over at the Pennington Quality Market for some yummy Bucks County Coffee. My favorite!
