I kind of like it, but then I think I could model for Fernando Botero.

Kinda looks like the Mother of the Wendol figure they found at the farmers cabin in the movie The Thirteenth Warrior.

^ I bet you never had one of these - this came today & she said it's for her "Quirky Christmas Tree". If such a thing ever appears then there might be a fire

I don’t know if the British English dictionary definition of quirky is different than the one across the pond. But over here I’d have to say ‘quirky’ probably isn’t exactly the right word to describe it.

Quirky: unusual in especially an interesting or appealing way.

I’d go with the “non-conformist tree” decorated with only the finest examples of the most baffling, mystifying and perplexing ornaments known to mankind.

At least its Santa on a dinosaur.

It could have been Jesus or a former US President.

The xmas decorations are coming out and this was just thrust under my nose -

"I got a real bargain with this"

"How much was it?"

"50 pence"

"You were robbed"

Wow Mr Squirrel, that monstrosity of a decoration is the bleeding pits, trip over accidentally on purpose and break it, don't make it too obvious though as she might smell a rat if you know what I mean.

In all my years of studying moths I never came across a caterpillar wearing a bow tie

Moira says her plan is to crochet a flower and glue this thing in the middle -

Buddahaid · 03-26-23, 10:30 AM

Has it occurred to you that Moira may buy these creations just to annoy you?

To be fair, this does look like the sort of thing I would put on our Xmas tree given half the chance! ��

If the surrounding petals are high enough to hide it from view

But then it seems quite à la mode:
