Popular Post Airehead Posted November 29, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 29, 2020 It all started when my five year old daughter bought me an ice cream cone ornament one summer in Chestertown, Md. She bought it with her own money. I hung it in the kitchen and then in a special spot on the tree. Then other people gave me ornaments. For a couple years there was no tree, Santa found us at MeeMaws. Then slowly joy returned and we put up the tree with that ornament in a special spot. Then a few years later Einstein came into our lives and he bought a little brass tress to hang the food ornaments on and we still had. Regular tree. 8 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We out grew the brass food tree and got a bigger one and outgrew that one too. Now the little brass tree has Airedale ornaments and the bigger brass tree has the snowflakes. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted November 29, 2020 And the big tree is all blown glass food ornaments. Some are common like cake or pie or a gingerbread man. Some are unusual like endive or cabbage. Who even knew there was a market for cabbage Christmas ornaments. These were both made in Poland. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that one year and we had two very sick standard poodles. I think mostly because they are them all with the plastic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted November 29, 2020 @Kirby is right. Every year we think there are no more different ones and then we find one. Like this potato we bought in Annapolis. We then had to find a steak to go with it. There may not be an end. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share #14 Posted November 30, 2020 And in today's chapter, Lindy went nuts to bark at the chickens in our front yard. He hit the pen which hit the grill ornament. This is THE END for the grill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strolling chickens aren't really much trouble except when they were eating the grass seed Einstein had just put down on the edge of the drive. It is fun to see them wandering around.

Razors Edge ★ Posted November 30, 2020 Share #22 Posted November 30, 2020 I like the ornaments! I think "food" is very intertwined with holidays, so it makes sense to have them on the tree too. When we do the ornaments (tomorrow, I think), I'll have to see how many themes we have. Definitely a few food ornaments on there. Likely travel related ones as well. I think a lot of animal ones too. Not sure what else, but we'll see (it's always takes a bit to refresh my memory of all the ornaments). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted November 30, 2020 Share #23 Posted November 30, 2020 WoKzoo is extremely artistic, She can create just about anything from anything. Many many years ago she created Christmas ornaments out of a flour past mixture. She did this for a couple years - lots of different Christmas figures. They were dried and painted and sealed. After several years she tired of them (she likes change) and put them in a garage sale. When her mother saw them for sale she was upset to see them go so she bought them. They were a major part of the Mother in law's tree for several years. When MIL died a few years ago, Daughter#1 made sure she got the ornaments and now have lived on in her Christmas for the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would she take a swing at creating the Parody Bot 2.0? Even if she used the old parts from the failed bucket of rusty bolts from the corpse of Parody Bot, we would be in a way better place than we are now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
