From Little Acorns...

Apologies about the lack of posts this week -  I've been a bit side tracked with the last week of summer holidays, trying to cram in as much fun as possible!!  Not a crafting post to share with you today, but a very special post for me.  As you know, my blog is called Acorn Papercrafts, and previous entries have explained where that came from (was called Ali Cornish before I got married).  Well, today we had a visit from my husband's Uncle Andy (and now my uncle!) from America, and he brought me a surprise - well, two actually!  They actually belonged to his late mother Joy, and were originally clip on ear-rings.  Uncle Andy's wife, Auntie Merle (are you keeping up?!) took them to the jewellers in America and had them converted in to charms for me, one to wear on a necklace and one for my charm bracelet!  I had absolutely no idea about it and they were almost identical to a pair of ear-rings that I nearly bought for myself. It was a bit of a hairs on the back of my neck moment!  I was a little bit emotional because they belonged to Andy's mum, and he thought to pass them on to me.  The acorns have real sentimental meaning for me, and so I will treasure them.



Once again, thank you Andy and Merle, and thank you Joy - your acorns are safe with me!
