Disney Jewelery


I love Disney merchandise, and I especially love the kind you can wear!  When I was 4, I got this beautiful "gold" charm bracelet, which sparked my love for charm bracelets to this day!



 There's Dumbo, Mickey and Donald...


and Minnie, Goofy (his body has since fallen off!), and Tinkerbell:

My friend Monica got me this beautiful necklace from Disney Couture inspired by The Little Mermaid:

 The bottle has a scroll inside that says "I could be part of your world," which gets me all teary!!  There's sand and little gems, and the cork really does come off!  Good thing it's attached by that chain because it's come uncorked a few times while I was at work!

 There are so many details, like this hook clasp and the tiny portrait of Ariel:

 The studded anchor and pearls:


 And here's the bag it came in:


 There were only two pieces of jewelery I bought while on my last trip.  I know, I hardly believe it either.  I got these Mickey head earrings:

 Simple, and only about $5.  I wear them when I want to feel all cheery and reminded of the magic :)

I also got this adorable and classy Mickey glove necklace:

I get compliments on this every time I wear it!  I like to joke that it's the Hamburger Helper glove, or the Michael Jackson glove.  I just love this one!


 There are plenty of gorgeous pieces you can get in Disney World or on their website!  Look for Disney Couture--those are on the newer side and real cool!  They have a Minnie charm bracelet, some more jewelery, accessories and clothing.  I just bought my friend a cute Snow White shirt for her birthday! 

There's also this great new collection of charms (here's one of Flounder) by Kidada, which you can wear at any age (I say this because I plan to start my own collection, wink wink), along with (sometimes) cute princesses that open up to reveal a necklace with a single charm related to that princess (I just saw the new Rapunzel that has a brush charm--how adorable!) for little girls, and some apparel (I just saw a baseball hat with Mickey [or Minnie]  gloves forming a heart and a chain with a bow charm on the arm like a bracelet--also very cute!)

It also happens to be the 25th anniversary of The Disney Store, so be sure to check their website for special merchandise and deals (right now you can get free shipping on orders over $75)!

Goofy & Dumbo

Working in a bookstore, I get to talk to a lot of people about their Disney plans when they come up to purchase Disney guides.  It's really one of the highlights of my day.  On Wednesday I was talking to a customer who said the Great Goofini Roller Coaster and the Dumbo Rides were up and running!  Hooray!
