Claire’s currently has a silver tone charm bracelet and necklace featuring a scooter charm. The scooter looks like an odd combination of a Vespa and a very early Lambretta. Just $9.50 for each. claires.com

A Rare Bit O’Swag:
Gumball Machine Scooter Prizes
For your pleasure I offer these vintage scooter bubblegum machine prizes, charms and toys.
Betsey Johnson loves scooters.
This Modish scooter necklace features little moddettes and a scooter as it’s centerpiece. It measures approximately 16″ long with a 3″ extender. The drop is 3.5″. It costs $55.
Like having a bubble gum machine
full of scooter prizes.
Remember the joy of getting THE prize you wanted out of the vending machine? When I was little my Mom would give me a dime or so to try for the one I wanted on every trip to the drugstore. Can’t remember what I was obsessed with now. A blue cat springs to mind. But I never got it randomly. So one day we’re in the store and she sees the vending repair guy filling the machines and asks him if she can just buy the prizes I wanted. He gave us handfuls for free. I made out like a bandit that day!
Well “Stuff Maya Makes” is almost just like that. All of her charms are good and all of them are under $5. Besides jewelry you use them as cell phone mascots, zipper pulls, you name it. The colored enamel charms are 2-D and the silver and bronze charms are 3-D.
Thanks Jennifer S. and Spyder for this find.
Paris Scene Necklaces
Take a trip to Paris for £10.00. The top necklace is a copy of a Collette necklace that originally retailed for $120. The necklace below is the Collette and will take a bit more hunting to be found.

Spring fling bling
Plasticland calls these the “Miss Mod” earrings. I call them pretty dang cute. They are enamel over gold plate. The helmet measures 1/2″ x 1/2″, the scooter measures 3/4″ x 1″, and total drop length for the earrings is 1.5″. Of course if you didn’t want them as earrings, these would make perfect charms for a necklace or bracelet. They’re $21.00, so a great price for such detailed charms.
That Vintage Vespa charm.
Here are two nice pieces of jewelry sent in to me recently. The Vespa necklace is $16.50 and the Vespa earrings are $28.00.
Thanks to two “Kellies” for these finds! (Kelle H. and Kelly W.)
Charmed I’m sure.
All kinds to choose from here – from the Bling Bling to the modern Vespa to the vintage enthusiast . . .
Thanks to Julie G. for these finds!
Snappy Dresser
These charms come as a set and are for use on bracelets, sneakers and backpacks. I think they would also be cute clipped onto a ribbon on a present. They’re $2.19 for the set.
