Ice Scream Halloween Ornament

White swirly ghost arising from an ice cream cone. Happy Halloween is written on the cone and decorated with a tiny black spider. This ornament is retired.....no more little ghost(((

Halloween has its origins in the ancient festival of Samhain, the Celtic New Year, when spirits were allowed to return to early to visit. Christianity incorporated this into All Hallow''s Eve, October 31, prior to All Saints Day. The Irish brought Halloween to America in the 1940's, with the tradition of dressing in costumes and playing pranks in the hopes of keeping the evil spirits away.

The Ruby Slipper

Great Wizard of Oz keepsake ornament. Who doesn't remember Dorothy clicking the heels of her ruby slippers together and saying "there's no place like home....there's no place like home."

32015 Ruby Slipper

(From Wikipedia) The ruby slippers are the shoes worn by Dorothy (played by Judy Garland) in the 1939 MGM movie The Wizard of Oz. Because of their iconic stature^. they are now among the most treasured and valuable of film memorabilia. As was customary for important props, a number of pairs were made for the film, though no one knows exactly how many. Five pairs are known to have survived; one of these was stolen in 2005 and never recovered.

An original pair of ruby slippers used in The Wizard of Oz; now part of the Philip Samuels Collection.

In the film, Dorothy's house falls on the Wicked Witch of the East, killing her and freeing the Munchkins from her tyranny. Glinda, the Good Witch of the North magically puts the dead woman's ruby slippers on Dorothy's feet to protect her from the Witch's vengeful sister, the Wicked Witch of the West. Dorothy knows the slippers are magical, but she is unaware of their specific powers. At the end of the film, Glinda reveals one of the slippers' abilities: Dorothy can return home to Kansas by simply clicking her heels three times and repeating, "There's no place like home."

The Ruby Slipper ornament is one of our most popular ornaments for sale at Trendy Tree. Customers buy them by the dozens. I hope they're not in line for retirement any time soon! Hope you're listening Old World Christmas!!

The Hungry Squirrel

The Hungry Squirrel Christmas ornament from Old World Christmas was purchased this week by a very nice customer named Linda. She seemed very excited that she had been able to find this ornament. It's a new ornament that just came out last year by Old World. The Hungry Squirrel is gray, and holding an acorn. The first version of the squirrel ornament is more of a reddish brown.

Known for its playfulness and bushy tail, the squirrel is found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. Its tail can be used for balance, as a form of a parachute when falling from a high tree, or as a blanket in cold weather.

Linda sent me a couple of photos of the reason she had wanted the Hungry Squirrel.

These pics are just adorable!! He looks like he could have been the model for the ornament!

Thanks to Linda for sharing these cute photos! Our customers are the best! This is what makes an online business so much fun! When someone takes time out of their busy day to share just a moment of their life, you haven't just made a sale for the day.....you have a new friend. I should have asked if this cute little fellow has a name! Will find out and get back to you)))
