A bracelet for 50 cents?!?

I had lunch with a friend today...and as I waited for her to arrive I was eyeing up the gumball machines. I haven't bought something from a gum ball machine since I was a child. On the way out..I decided I 'had' to have the item. 

I put in my quarters and turned the dial..instantly transported back in time.

The anticipation...would I get the color I wanted?

What if the item got stuck and nothing came out?

Would I be super lucky and somehow two items would come out?

The joy in opening up that little metal door and retrieving my 'prize'. 

All this nostalgia was worth the 50 cents I put in....and today's prize? This wicked cool Zipper Bracelet with heart shaped zipper pull. Yup, I'm 5 years old all over again. 

When was the last time you bought something from a gumball machine?
