My Living Locket {Origami Owl} Story

When I lived in Florida a friend was wearing this beautiful necklace with all these interesting charms in them. I commented to her it was pretty and asked what it was. She explained that it was an Origami Owl Locket and that you can customize it with charms. I thought that was pretty awesome, and really wanted one (especially since I at one time wanted a charm bracelet--but hate to wear bracelets). I wanted something that told a story, and if people asked I could say what each charm represented. For my 31st birthday (2014) I asked for an Origami Owl locket and a few charms. My mom and dad bought me a bigger locket than expected (I was expecting a smaller one) and the few charms that I wanted. I realized that I would have a lot more room left and can have more charms.
A few weeks ago a friend was having a Origami Owl party, and I decided to buy some charms. They came today and I couldn't be happier, and guess what I  still have room for some more. :D So here is my Origami Owl story (and a picture of my locket).

Palm Tree represents two things: My time spent in SC to go to college (4 1/2 years) and my seven years in Florida.
Apple; My love for teaching. I taught in Florida for seven years, and now I am currently an assistant teacher. I love teaching kids and spending time with them.
Travel coffee cup: my love for coffee & Starbucks
Eiffel Tower. My dream to go to Paris someday
Flip Flops: My favorite foot wear on beautiful days & my love for the beach and Florida
Coffee Cup: I love coffee
Peal: I was born in June
Sunflower: Although not my favorite flower, I love sunflowers and they make me happy.

I am deciding which charms to get next...can't wait to finish filling it up in the upcoming moths.
For sure I am going to get the cupcake one because I love cupcakes, and the daisy one because I love daises....and perhaps some of the pink Sikorsky crystals! When the locket is complete I will update this post!
