Celebrate: Friendship Bracelet

Lifelong friends, Nicole and Megan made many bracelets for each other in the late 1980s. These trendy, brightly colored embroidery thread bands are the twentieth-century equivalent of hair bracelets. Nicole wore her bracelets for months, until they disintegrated and fell off, but this one she tucked into her jewelry box among her other keepsakes.
