For my Fall decorations on my entryway desk, I added acorns and some nuts from one of our maple trees. My brother gathered some acorns for me a few years back and I decided to paint them with clear fingernail polish to make them stand out a bit more. There were a lot of the acorns that had worm holes (I’m guessing/hoping they were worm holes) in them and a big portion of the caps had fallen off so before giving them a clear coat of polish, I separated the ones with holes from the good ones and hot glued all the caps back on.
When my visiting teacher came this month, I had explained what I had done with the acorns and she said that the ones with holes in would add charm to my decorations. So with that in mind, I decided to us the ones with holes in, too. When I got the container of acorns, I noticed a bunch of brown stuff in the bottom. It was coming from the holes in the acorns. I shook one and more brown stuff came out so I decided while they were in the container I would shake them and get all the stuff out. Well, I’m here to tell you that I think I shook the “Charm” right out of them. I shook, shook and shook some more (45 minutes) trying to get rid of what I will call “Charm Dust”. I’m sure there is more but I was just about shook out.
Look at the size of “Charm Dust” in comparison to the size of the acorn. For sure, there was a whole lot of shaking going on!
