I grew up in the UK and call them conkers too - don't know if we even have them here in Australia!!<br />I was wondering if you’d mind if I featured this in a top 10 upcycles of the week post. I’d like to use just one photo from your blog and put a direct link back to your post. Please let me know if this would be ok.<br />Thanks so much,<br />Jill @ Creating my way to Success <br /><a href="http://www.jembellish.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jembellish.blogspot.com/ </a><br />Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377276479172112517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046154421196067463.post-57529742853952777742013-10-15T13:40:04.801+01:002013-10-15T13:40:04.801+01:00This is amazing!!

I call them conkers and people don't know what I'm talking about... I think they just go with the horse chestnut name. And they don't know about the playground game to play with them!! I love this idea, pinning now to my 'Fall into Autumn' board - thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />Hannah ♫<br /><a href="http://sewlahteadough.blogspot.ca" rel="nofollow">Sew Lah Tea Dough</a> `<br />Sew Lah Tea Doughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483531479450109834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046154421196067463.post-8568791745670219892013-10-15T12:34:18.744+01:002013-10-15T12:34:18.744+01:00Thanks Tricia!
