April 1, 2010 -- Jewelry to Commemorate
175th Anniversary of St. Charles
Looking for a uniquely “St. Charles” gift idea that highlights
the essence of St. Charles? The St. Charles Heritage Center Gift Shop has just
the item you are looking for!
Local artist Nancy Neill has created a limited edition 175th Anniversary St. Charles Charm Bracelet featuring 12 charms that represent all things St. Charles. Some of the charms represent the Scarecrow Fest, the Potawatomi Indian Tribe, the historic homes in the area, the St. Charles Saints as well as the North Stars, the Arcada Theater and the fact that we are the Pride of the Fox! The bracelets come in sliver and gold and have clear crystals alternating with silver and brass charms.
Also available are necklaces with a small State of Illinois charm, Lincoln Penny charm, and a “Greetings from St. Charles” postcard charm. The bracelets are $36.95 each and the necklaces are $24.95 each.
Nancy began making jewelry over twenty-two years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area. What started as a hobby soon became a full-time job. Today Nancy lives in the Fox Valley area and continues to create unique handmade pieces that celebrate nature, commemorate events, remember special places, or simply express the individuality of the wearer. Nancy is also working with the newly established WaterStreetStudios in Batavia.
Stop by the St. Charles Heritage Center Gift Shop today and pick up one
of these beautiful pieces of art!
