The Acorn
Soon I will be offering some lovely pewter wine stoppers on my webiste. I was curious about the one that had an acorn on top, physician so I decided to do a little research, there and to my surprise this is what I found.
One of the most popular uses of the acorn is love magic. Lovers in past times would each put an acorn into a bowl of water. If the acorns came together, the lovers would marry. If the acorns floated apart, the lovers would soon leave each other for someone else!!
Caps that floated together meant some type of relationship either through marriage or business.
Acorns were also placed under a mattress of a lover’s bed to keep him or her faithful.
They were also placed on a windowsill, for they were believed to protect a home from lightening.
I don’t know about you but I learned alot about that little acorn. I’m thinking, this acorn wine cork would make a nice gift for newlyweds, don’t you think? Don’t forget to include a bottle of wine!!
HAPPY DAY
