Perhaps it is the sort of book that you pick up in second hand book-shops and browse with every intention of making conkerr furniture and suchlike.alice chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-61389956121888258962009-09-30T15:27:45.611+01:002009-09-30T15:27:45.611+01:00Oh, Lucille!!!
Thank you, thank you! My girls an...Oh, Lucille!!! <br /><br />Thank you, thank you! My girls and I had so much fun reading this and seeing your pictures! And many cries of "I want a conker! Can we find some?" were heard all round. What a beautiful tutorial you wrote:) I hope you'll do more!<br /><br />Conkers remind a bit of sea beans (at least from what I can tell), and I definitely see the resemblance to our chestnuts here in the States, though ours are much smaller and just plain ole' brown. <br /><br />And that book...I'll be searching for it, be assured!<br /><br />This put a huge smile on my face, Lucille:) thanks!!!kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384042749894670084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-56963129248847043902009-09-30T11:38:22.441+01:002009-09-30T11:38:22.441+01:00I love conkers, they're so glossy and tactile....I love conkers, they're so glossy and tactile. And conker furniture, what a bonus! I've got a horse chestnut tree seedling in a pot, dug up from a surrey garden. Two leaves on a spindly stick and as yet disease free - potential there for a new dining room table and chairs!<br />I think I vaguely remember the book but I've no idea where it went - it makes me want to get another copy. I'm looking forward to reading your October chapter.annie hoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894824060367890048noreply@blogger.com
