Most of you know that my mom passed away in 2010 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. My mom always encouraged me to be creative when I was playing. She would always let me wear her costume jewelry and her high heels around the house. I usually wore a certain pair of her high heels because they were my favorite (makes me wish that I had photos). Playing dress up made me feel like a princess and I loved pretending I was a teacher. If you have a daughter, don’t be afraid to let her play dress up too. Let her wear your costume jewelry and high heels. Help your daughter enjoy using their imagination while they are playing. I have noticed that most kids don’t play the way I did growing up. Kid’s today are so focused on technology.
Anyhow, back to my story about jewelry. When I was younger, I had a ton of jewelry that my mother bought me. I had costume jewelry, chunky jewelry, charms, necklaces, toe rings, ear cuffs, and more! You name it, I probably had it! I also had a friend who made and sold jewelry, but she was telling me that the supplies were getting expensive and she wasn’t making enough of a profit to keep her business above water. I immediately thought to tell her about wholesale jewelry charms by Teeda! Teeda offers a TON of charms (among other cool jewelry products) to you at a wholesale price, and they even tell you what the retail price is so you can see just how much you are saving by ordering through them.
I like to plan my jewelry selection based on my activity for that day. If I am going to a sporting event, I will usually wear sports-related earrings and a charm bracelet matching the sport. If I am feeling funky, I will wear some wire armbands! Those are always great conversation starters and they look beautiful and unique.
As always, jewelry is usually a great gift as well. I love when I get jewelry. It is such a great expression of personality and also who you are. I can often guess what type of person someone is by the jewelry he or she is wearing. If a woman is wearing jewelry that has animal print on it or bright and vibrant colors, she has a fun and wild personality. If she’s wearing some small and dainty diamond earrings, she is probably more serious and quiet.
Jewelry has so much potential and can be used for a variety of reasons and purposes. Teeda is a great place to start if you are looking for some cool jewelry or some product to jumpstart a jewelry business!

Oh, what a sweet memory. Your mom sounds like she was a great lady.
My mom didn’t wear much jewelry, but she was always willing to let us play dress up in her closet. 🙂
You must miss her, I can only imagine. I was only allowed to wear my mom’s jewelry whenever we were going to attend a formal gathering.
I wasn’t allowed to play with my mom’s jewelry but that didn’t stop me. It’s crazy how much sentimental value a single charm can hold.
I always played with my Moms jewelry. I grew up with brothers until my sis came at age 13 so I was ok to touch her jewelry
That’s really nice.. yes my mum let me play with her Jewellery but not her shoes though when we were growing up.
There is very little in life cuter than a child dressed up in high heels and jewelry. They always look extremely proud of themselves with big grins on their faces. Who wouldn’t let their child have that experience?
