My family in beads

Inspired by Stacecase, I have decided honor my family with a bracelet. First of all the initials of the pricipal members, A for dh, A for my youngest, A for my oldest...do you undestand why I am looking for a retired A?! Laughing

! Then E and R for my mom and dad.
Syblings (the bead in italian is called "brothers") for my kids and also for my two brothers, who live far away from me, but are in my heart all the time.
Mahjong "Fortune" is a symbol of wealth as my family is for me, the sacred house, since home is my sacred place.
The little mashrrom family since "they remind us of the joys of family and how important it is to have someone in life to lean on".
As for the glass the sakura because they are symbols of vitality, hope and courage, turtles for health and logevity, I choose peacok, kimono and skyline for beauty, the trollstone for the rarity. Hope did not bore you too much! sunny

It is really nice and your text is lovely.

In my opinion ..... to have a reason for each bead (or a special memory) is the spirit of collecting, combining and wearing beads.
It is more than only choosing a piece of jewelery each morning .... It is a playing with all things that are important for yourselve, that you love or the actual mood ......
Nobody outstanding will recognize it but you feel it each time you look on your bracelet
