I think they are pretty also, but I wondered whether you painted them or bought them. Don't say that's how they fell of the tree, cos I wont believe you! Ha!
Half are real and half are fake. I had a few caps pop off but just glued them back on! Some are done with craft paints and the shimmery ones are frosted nail polish! Not done perfectly...just a quick little project the other night. Yay for pork chops. Yum. haha.
Yum...how can anyone refuse crunchy M&Ms? haha. Have you seen those pretty little candies you can make from Hershey kisses and mini Nutter Butters? They look like acorns...so cute!
No, will have to check that out. Yesterday some of the children here at the Villa were selling candy.....chocolate covered pretzel sticks with broken pieces of M&M's. I bought several and have been crunching on them.
Hi Betsy - bringing the humble acorn to life ... they almost look like sugared almonds - I wonder if the pigs like them better painted up?! I was reminded about Charles II's oak tree - where he hid to escape and live another day - last night ... they've planted off-shoots of his original hiding place ... cheers Hilary
So?
ReplyDeleteSo, I thought they were pretty, that's what.
DeleteI think they are pretty also, but I wondered whether you painted them or bought them. Don't say that's how they fell of the tree, cos I wont believe you! Ha!
DeleteI did. DIY means 'do it yourself'. Now I want you to make some. :)
DeleteThey look so cute!
ReplyDeleteHow did you keep the caps from coming off?
Pork Chops here too! hahaha!!
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers!
Linda :o)

Such artistry. They look like precious jewels.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying them...something a little different!
DeleteSue captured it well....precious jewels. However, my first thought was crunchie M&M's. You make the most simple things elegant!!! Love your "touch".
ReplyDeleteYum...how can anyone refuse crunchy M&Ms? haha. Have you seen those pretty little candies you

DeleteHere's some...I think these were made with mini vanilla wafers. I stuck mine together with peanut butter...really easy.

Great idea and so attractive. I wonder if the oak trees will be coloured . . . haha
ReplyDeleteMaybe...the leaves would be different, wouldn't they? :)
DeleteOh now come on!! Those are so cute.
ReplyDeleteAren't they? I love the way they turned out...simple yet different enough not to be mundane.
DeleteHmmm, looks like a fun craft project that my son would enjoy. Was it difficult to paint?
ReplyDeleteOh no...very easy. I just did one coat and didn't make them perfect. It's easy to hold on to the caps, so I think he'd have fun!
DeleteWhat a lovely idea, I love the colors, especially the blue ones....they remind me of Robin's eggs :)
ReplyDeleteSweet.

Oh, you're right! They do look like sweet robin eggs!
DeleteVery cute....and, I love the platter!!!
ReplyDeleteAuction trash a couple of years ago...can you believe that?
DeleteWhat a great idea! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteand easy...that was the best part. :)
DeleteHow beautiful! And I love your header, it made me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that cute? Not my photography though..the source is in the link.

ReplyDeleteI don't know that story about Charles...very nice.
DeleteOh Betsy these are so cute and perfect to decorate home in this period.
ReplyDeleteLove
They are perfect for fall, aren't they?
DeleteLooks like jewellery!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree....pretty and shimmery!
DeleteNicely done
ReplyDeleteWith acorn fun
But how will the poor squirrel eat
No wonder they steal the bird seed treat lol
Look at you
Deleteup with the early crew.
Before the sun
had even begun.
Really pretty - and a perfect choice of dish to display them.
ReplyDeleteI got lucky and had a dish with that exact color! :)
DeleteGreat pictures as always, Betsy! Love the painted acorns. I was out gathering some yesterday for new Botanical art. They're great subjects!
ReplyDeleteI like the blue ones.
