Precious Steps Baby Shoe

The Precious Steps Baby Shoe Christmas Ornament with Swarovski crystals.

When these ornaments arrived, I took a quick look and said....oh yes, that is so pretty......But, today a customer purchased one and when I took it out of the carton I really got a good look. This ornament is exquisite! My first look, even though I thought it was pretty, just didn't do it justice! I'll get more photos up just as soon as I can.

This truly would make a unique keepsake gift for that newborn or baby girl.......the butterfly on the toe is so different. The Precious Steps Baby Shoe - perfect gift)))

These new Farm Animal Balls are uniquely different from Inge-Glas. The painted farm animal has a raised texture. These ornaments would make a great addition to your child's farm collection. They include a tractor, pink, cow and a horse. They are about 3" in diameter and have a M & M candy type shape.

A great way to package these for a gift would be to put in a truck or tractor and wagon filled with raffia or wood wool. That way the child has a gift for "now" and a wonderful keepsake to hang on the tree for years to come. The back of the ornament is plain and would be easy to personalize with a permanent ink marker or paints.

Review of Frosted and Guilded Walnut Christmas Ornament

Frosted and Guilded Walnut Christmas Ornaments

Review of Upstate NY Lady
"It looks like they used a real walnut to make the mold. Just the right size for a table top tree or placement in the upper branches of a large tree. Well made. Purchase with confidence from the fine people at Trendy Tree, I do."

In Europe, walnuts were used as part of Christmas Eve games, and feasts, One game the children especially enjoyed playing called for cracking the shell of a walnut, putting a small lit candle in it, and floating it in a pan of water. A boy held his breath as the candle melted down because if the candle burned down to the bottom before turning over, it meant the boy would live a long life. A girl would carefully watch the lit candle in the walnut shell, hoping hers would stand the longest, which meant she would marry a good husband.

Orange Juice Ornament new for 2010 from Inge-Glas

Orange Juice Christmas Ornament

108910 Inge-Glas of Germany Farmer's Market Collection

Introduced 2010
Whole orange Christmas ornament made of European mouth blown, hand painted glass. Dark green leaf attached. Ornament measures approximately 3 1/4"

I was photographing this ornament along with the Pineapple from Inge-Glas and the Orange Juice ornament absolutely made my mouth water! So I decided to try to make a recipe for a frozen popsicle using oranges and pineapples.....and it was such a success!!

Jeannie's Orange/Pineapple Frozen Pops

1 box sugar free orange or peach jello
1 container of sugar free orange drink mix (I used  the Wal-Mart Great Value Orange Early Rise)
1 large can mandarin oranges with juice
1 large can crushed pineapple in its own juice
2 cups light Cool Whip
2 cups water

Dissolve the jello in one cup of boiling water. Add the drink mix. Add the other cup of water. Run the pineapple with its juice and mandarin oranges with its juice through the blender and pour into the jello mixture. Add the Cool Whip last. The water is not an exact measure but this mixture was thick enough to hold the stick. You could had more or less water depending on the pop containers you're using. I ran out of pop containers with their handles and had to use small dixie drinking cups. Place the cups or pop containers on a flat shallow pan and put in the deep freeze. Run hot water over the container to release.

Delicious and low calorie! Experimenting on my strawberry frozen pop now! Will post it after the second trial.
