Hello my Charmy Friends,

It is cold and drizzly outside so I thought I would take my first family photo of my little overpriced pieces of Hermes LOVE.

I have arranged them in tiers, from most favorite to just favorites as I LOVE them all and hate to hurt feelings. Mr. Boar is my number one love for sure. His velvety ears and contrast of materials is super special in my mind. And his cuteness quotient hits the roof as does Mr. Ducky. They are just CUTE. Pink Piggy is best color ever! The owls however are more beautiful to me, really exquisite. Their eyes and ears have an iridescence that almost mimics their look in the dark, in real life. I love dragon as I was born in the year of the dragon, and croc charm has the most textured skin of all charms--very charming charm. I could rhapsodize for days, highlighting each ones special features, but.......I will spare you commentary on each one....

The pairs are special: cows, bunnies and the white dog is new to me to join Brown Dog. White dog was too spency really and even though he has fabulous, iridescent blue eyes, he did not steal my heart at all. But I am happy he is home with me and the family.

After the animal tiers, I have the non-animals and only insect--the ladybug. Then my fruit bowl. Also, I am showing you my newly acquired find but I am a little concerned about him even though he came from a very reputable German seller--Mr. Merci. If you know anything about him, please let me know....

As you can see, I am missing many charms but I have a lifetime to find them all and I only want truly, what I love. I do not love the Kelly doll charm and it is always insanely priced, as is Berlin Bear. I would like a yellow tiger but not easy to find...eh hem...except for the 3k one on ebay right now....lordy...... I passed on the snake when he was in boutique but I was not smitten then--dumb. I need him.....Lots to find but my major LOVE finds are here.

I am now going to find some sort of enclosed display box so I can clean the chains and not worry about them tarnishing...nasty I know. Sorry for all the tarnish.....

Thank you for letting me share. I hope I haven't bored anyone-- only a Charmy probably read through all of this anyway...:-)

Wow, what a great collection. So many of these I have never seen before. I was late to the game on so many of these. I wish I hadn't been as they are adorable. I have a few and to deal with the tarnish I take them to my jeweler and he cleans and polishes them for me with something that I swear makes the silver almost glow. It takes a lot longer for them to tarnish now too.

Does anyone know if hermes has discontinued animal charm? The last time I got an animal charm was the snake in green and white from lunar chinese snake year 2013. I am just wondering if hermes will make any for monkey year this year.

Ladies, I can only know what my SA tells me and you know how that information can go awry, but yodaling, I believe 2013 is the last time we will see the round animal charms. Petit h has taken their place as have the bigger horse shoes and no brains horse head and RODEOS that are harder to get than stinkin' birkins!!

I have bought most of my round animal charms from resellers. And Charmys, right now the market is flooded with fair priced animal charms . Some are insanely priced of course....I would die for the Berlin Bear but at 1,500.00+, I can wait!!

I wanted to show you my new "no-brains" charm and I layered two Rodeos---overboard I know. But I love the color contrasts!!

I just asked my SA about this the other week- unfortunately, it doesn't seem that there will be an animal charm for Chinese New Year. However, she showed me the new fruit charms that have been ordered- lemon, apple, and strawberry if I remember correctly. And of course the different combos for Rodeo horses.

Thank you Lisa and Stephc for the response. Sigh these rodeos are even harder to come by than anything else. I mostly give up and will just buy those round animal charms from resellers (when one shows up at a good price).

Love your Blue charms here Lisa and of course LOVE the bag.
