The crazy chestnuts ^_^

in GEMS3 years ago

Hello hivers, an happy Tuesday to you all! I hope your week started in the best way!
During the past week, anfter the dinner and sitting on our comfortable sofa, me and my hubby @paolobeneforti watched the thriller tv series "The Chestnut Man" on Netflix. I like to watch the thriller or crime tv series and I can say this one was really interesting. You can read more about it here.

Since I watched I watched it I have in my mind the little figures made using the fruits of the Aesculus hippocastanum! I know well this kind of fruits cause there were a lot of Aesculus hippocastanum in the square of the village where I was born. They are not edible and here in Italy we call them "crazy chestnut". When I was a child we use to play with them, but we never made figures or little dolls.

Yesterday I went to visit my father (it's not in good health during these days and I hope he will be ok soon) and so I collected some crazy chestnust to make a figure by myself. In the meantime, I took some pics of the fruits to share with you:

When I'll make a figure using them, I'll share with you!

See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
