A Bit of Old Towne "Charm"!!

It's no secret... I LOVE Orange.
I love living here. I love the history that I see around me in its architecture, gardens and monuments. I love that we are 20 minutes from the beach and an hour from the mountains and deserts. I love that I lived in the same home in Orange until my husband and I were married and made our own home here. I love that my husband and 5 babies were all born in Orange and that my 3 littlest rest in a beautiful cemetery in it's hills.
It's charm is like no other... I could walk through Old Towne's neighborhoods every day and never see the same thing twice.
Last week I thought I'd make myself an "Old Towne Orange" charm bracelet, made of caps from sodas enjoyed in Old Towne itself! It showcases some of the plaza's most popular historic sights... the famous plaza fountain, old and new, two vintage postcards of the old orchards, the city's seal and an old painted advertisement on the side of one of the historic brick buildings.
I am really looking forward to wearing this bracelet around town... let's hope it draws the attention of other Orange natives, as well!
