……well, it got your attention now didn’t it? *insert smile here*
My hubby doesn’t get much blog time action, but I do believe that he is quite deserving of some. Let me brag a little about him, if you don’t mind….
My guy is very talented and quite creative…yes he is! He can draw a mean locomotive – and in great detail – on an Etch-A-Sketch. Not only can he draw quite well, but he also can make beautiful jewelry. He isn’t a jewelry maker by trade, although you wouldn’t know it.
Awhile back he found a darling little acorn and decided to cast it and make some sterling silver charms for Christmas presents. Besides the acorns, he also made some teensy tiny pinecone charms, too. Because I love squirrels so much, he knew I would fancy an acorn – and he was right!!
I just love my little acorn….
actually I am quite “nuts” over it!!
….thank you, honey!!!!!!

What a special gift for him to have and make for you. :)
Wow -- that's beautiful Becky! And he can draw with an etch-a-sketch? That's pretty cool!
Oh. My. Word. How wonderful! He'll probably need to start taking orders, don't you think?!
Tell the Mr. we are nuts about it, too! (Watch out for the squirrels, they might steal it and go and hide it on you!)
XOXO

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I checked out Alicia's blog and saw her darling corgi girl.
I have a really pretty towel in my Etsy shop that has a scottie on it.
MyThreeCorgis is the name of my shop, if you like to see it.

Becky. Becky. Becky. Where have you been all my life? Your blog is amazing and I'm so sad that it has taken me this long to find it. But amazing as your blog is, greater still is the fact you are living your life for Jesus. I wish I would have given you a big hug tonight ... oh no, now I sound stalkerish. How about {if it is Ok with you}, I give you a squeeze the next time I see your beautiful face? I AM NOW A FOLLOWER! XOXO Jules from bles-id :-)
Oh my gosh. I am nuts over it too! Amazing! You may be right for not givin' him any blog time you might have all us after him!
Thanks for sharing your lovely little treasure.
Have a Blessed Thursday,
Sherry
It's just beautiful! I know you will treasure it always! Mr SCD did good ;0)
Oh my goddness, Becky, I can't even speak I'm so excited. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me your husband will take orders. Because seriously, I have ALWAYS wanted a necklace like this! I adore this type of woodland inspired jewelry. Seriously, where can we sign up?

I would be "nuts" about that too Becky! Gorgeous!
How cute Becky , my little squirrel
that lives in my tree in the back
would love that. I will have to tell him about the artificial nuts.
I talk to him all the time and he
does listen except when he knocks
my urn down, which is all the time.
You have a very sweet hubby to make you something so special.
Hi Becky,
I "love" your silver acorn charm, It's so pretty and was created with so much love.
I bet you were so surprised! such a thoughtful gift and right from the heart! A very special one of a kind gift and made by his two hands, it doesn't get any better than that!
(I can see a new business) for Mr. Sweet Cottage Dreams..whatja think?.
Keep warm! Big hugs XO Elizabeth
I love that! He is very talented. Debbi
Oh, dear, Mr. B may have to start taking orders!!!! I love my pine cone - it's amazing!!!
Etch-a-Sketch? Now I know what to get him for his birthday!!!
Oh my your honey is a dream man! any man that can make you a treasured jewel is a keeper :)
I love his talent in the art of charms, and his charm should not go unnoticed. We are all noticing his fine work and are charmed by it :)

I'm so glad that I found you at Vintage Gals blog. That acorn is really beautiful and I think it's amazing that he made that. You must be proud. I love the lampshade in the previous post. Did you make that?
Nice to meet you Becky :-)
You are a lucky gal! That is absolutely beautiful from your Man!
Blessings,
Janeen

Wow I can't believe someone can just do that. He is indeed awesome.
The acorn necklace is lovely. What a guy!
Becky, Happy New Year!! I too would be nuts over that acorn. I love it. Infact...I have an old acorn charm bracelet that I adore. I would say your hubby is pretty useful!!!
Beautifully done.
First of all ~ yes your post title captured my attention. I agree with Joni from Old Centennial Farmhouse, your hubby will have lots of orders. Those little acorns are so charming! What a talented guy he is. You are a lucky girl!!
Lots of love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
Wow! You're on "in-house" jeweler! Very pretty!
Brenda
Wow...he is very talented!
Mine can't create anything with his hands but he writes me sweet poems....we are both lucky gals.
Simply beautiful. He is a true craftsman!
How gorgeous! If he decides to make some more for sale, I would love to buy one!
I see that you don't corner the market on talent in your family! That necklace is beautiful!!! I love it:) I love watching squirrels and seeing them play especially... ok, that is more in the spring... and ok, that is more than playing, but you know what I mean! We use to have one that lived on our property that was missing a paw(?) and his tail... but he was quite a survivor and still managed to balance well.
So precious! We love our squirrels over here, too. We now have two little ones who will eat right out of our hand. Hope you are having a lovely 2011!!
Cheers,
Andrea
Now THAT is adorable. What a sweet Hubby you must have to have come up with such an idea.
Di
