I found this charm for 50 p in a charity shop the other day. It’s made from real pressed flowers under a clear resin dome, and the backing is stamped with “silver”. It’s really pretty but probably not worth listing in my Etsy shop, because whatever I could realistically charge for it would be eaten up by Etsy’s fees pretty soon – gone are the days when Etsy was way cheaper than eBay.

So what to do with this sweet little vintage charm? For now, I’ve stashed it away with a collection of flat charms that I have – mostly spinners, coins and town crests. At some stage I will “build” a charm bracelet out of them: a charm made entirely with two-dimensional charms.
