The Rattlesnake is positively identified by the jointed rattle on its tail and has a poisonous bite. The snake has a wide variety of connotations in cultures around the world. Although a coiled snake with its tail in its mouth symbolizes eternity, a coiled rattlesnake means danger!

The Donkey signifies patience, courage, meekness and gentleness.

"Gone Fishing" are an angler's favorite words. However fishing isn't just the thrill of a tight line with a strong fish on, but a sport that teaches us patience, respect for the environment and insight into the value of life. The Fly-Fishing Reel ornament is a great gift for any fisherman.
 
"Gone Fishing" are an angler’s favorite words. Fishing isn’t just the thrill of a tight line with a fish on however. It is a sport that teaches patience, respect for the environment and the value of life. With the advent of "catch and release," the Fishing Creel for holding the day’s catch is hardly used.

Customer Comments on Cherry Pie

5 star rating Julie P, New Jersey on February 24th 2010

Pros: Too bad there are no more than 5 stars for this! It needs 10! Oh my GOSH! This is SO real it will have your family begging you to make a REAL one and after looking at this on the tree for a few days my family did! It's THAT realistic! I never knew there were GORGEOUS ornaments like this! I have searched for YEARS and found only plastic/glass poorly made and the reality factor left much to be desired! Hand blown with the Merck Family pride and handed down through the decades to each new generation! I am FIRMLY HOOKED on Old World Christmas and the Trendy Tree site! Stop looking for breathtaking heirloom quality tree decor, it's HERE!! There is NO WHERE BETTER! Trust me, I have spent 6 years searching and was thrilled to find this wonderful business. AWESOME family to deal with! I had a special need and Mrs. Jeannie Pence came through with an unexpected REAL TREAT of honest,old fashioned personalized customer service, the likes of which I have not seen in many, many years.

Cons: NONE!

Customer Comments on Ice Cream Cone

5 star rating Julie P. New Jersey on February 24th 2010

Pros: This ice cream is a gentle reminder of days gone by for me. I bought it for my 3 1/2 yr. old granddaughter as a "You are special to me" because it is her NEVER fail love, love, love combination on a cone. Well even tho I LOVE Old World's Ornaments- I was NOT expecting the SUPERB coloring and craftsmanship that I unwrapped!! This pic is wonderful. Waaayy better than any other site would do and Ive looked! But folks- you have to SEE this in person to believe it! I SO WISH there were other combos in this cone because I would buy EVERY ONE! I really don't know how I am going to bring myself to put this away until next year and I might very well not! Trust me, its THAT GORGEOUS! All your childhood summertime "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream (!)dreams come to life in this breathtaking and deliciously charming, sparkling strawberry/vanilla treat!

Cons: None! Grab yourself a little piece of your sweet Summer childhood days gone by! You won't be sorry!

5 star rating Upstate NY Lady on January 25th 2010

Pros: This double dip won't melt on your hand but it might melt your heart with the happy memories it brings. Great details and sparkling too. The cone looks amazing. Add this to a kitchen collection for year round enjoyment. High quality.

The Lion and The Lamb


Weather Folklore: If March comes in like a Lion, it leaves like a Lamb.

 
In the Bible it is said that when Jesus returns to Earth, the world will be peaceful and all who were enemies will live together in harmony, even the animals. The powerful lion will lay down with the gentle lamb, and love and serenity will reign on Earth.

 
New for 2010 and arriving next week!
