I went out for a walk this morning with acorns on my mind. Sad to say, I only found one little teeny-tiny one(pictured above), but I did happen to find that cool lollipop(at first I actually did think some little kid had dropped their bright red lolly on the sidewalk) looking thing. Our neighbors have a tree full of them, and they are the most beautiful colors, from a bright green, to pink, to red. So pretty! I am going to have to investigate what exactly they are.
But back to acorns, I really do love them, always have. I think they are such a sweet little mascot for the fall season. And there is something so enchanting and magical about them. Every time I see one, I can't help but think there must be a little fairy near by.:-) Here are a few of my acorn faves around flickr.

I loved this beautiful stump work from wind flower embroidery. I think I need to research stump work a little more. I am truly intrigued by all of the detailing.

I know that we have all seen these little acorn caps with needle felted bodies, but I can't help but adore them year after year. I like the little twist and extra detail Jennifer Murphy put on hers. I think I need to make some for my table.

Introducing......
Yes, I am going to try and post something music related each Monday. I absolutley love all kinds of music, so this should be an easy thing for me. Let's keep our fingers crossed that I stick to it.;-) Another thing I love besides music is a happy accident, and that's what happened for this Monday's Music. I was searching out acorns around the internet, and happened upon this wonderful band I had never heard of, The Acorn. I think they have such a great modern-folksy(if that's possible?;-) sound, just perfect for this time of year, and it makes for great house cleaning music. Have a listen and enjoy their cute video!
I hope you experience a happy accident today.
