Lanice Kennedy and her daughter Patience both love charms and charm bracelets. Ever since her husband Glenn gave her a charm
bracelet on their honeymoon she has been collecting them.

Her collection now includes tiny shoes, musical instruments, and charms with special meaning. When she happened to enter a contest on the Rembrandt Charms Web site (they are one of the largest in the world) she didn't think she would win. She didn't win the grand prize but she did become a runner up and was awarded a free sterling silver bracelet and charm.

But rather than just announce it, she chose to make it a surprise for her 11-year-old daughter Patience. She chose the initial P for her name and brought her to Wyatt's Jewelers in Westwood Village where the prize was awarded by owner Kirk Kepler.

She could have chosen any store that carried the charms but chose Wyatt's "because when I came in to have some watch batteries replaced, they were nice as pie."

Lanice explained, "Ever since my husband Glenn gave me a charm bracelet on our honeymoon I've been addicted to them and wanted
to share that with my daughter."
