I Always Say "I Don't Do Cute"

... but a girl's allowed to break her own rules once in a while, isn't she?  When I saw these cute acorn charms at one of my local bead stores, I couldn't resist them.  Since I started working with brass a couple of years ago, there's a whole new world of charms and embellishments available to me that are simply too expensive in sterling silver. 

I brought some acorns home with me.

These charms seemed to need wood beads to accompany them.  It's only natural.

These cute (eek!) earrings are for sale in my etsy shop.
