Squirrel Stuff

[AGDLynn]

I was walking thru Kohl's Department Store this afternoon and I SWEAR this cute pair of Sonoma squirrel earrings just jumped into my hands!! (That's what I told my hubby!!)

What are some of the cute squirrel stuff you have or you know about?

((I have a cute stone squirrel with a smiling face sitting on a swing that is hanging from my front tree! Also, at Convention, I was in the Atlanta group and had the Squirrel flag!)

Cute thread, Lynn! I have two cute stuffed squirrels (with acorns), a Royal Doulton squirrel figurine (again, with acorn), a hard-cover copy of "The Squirrel Nutkin" by Beatrix Potter, and--for most unusual--a copper squirrel cookie cutter.

Unfortunately, I can't bake to save my life.
But, its pretty to look at.

Oh, and I forgot: a squirrel pin to put on my lapel. A squirrel charm for a necklace, and another squirrel charm on my charm bracelet.

God, I didn't realize that I've got a lot of stuff. Its taken all the self-control I have not to purchase the Swarovski squirrel figurine. I can't justify $50 on a 2-inch high piece of crystal.

Stop me before I shop again!

lol Maria,

I've been looking at that Swarovski squirrel figurine for quite a while!

One of my favorite squirrel items: My bf bought me a stuffed animal squirrel (I avoided saying "stuffed squirrel" lol) holding one acorn...I named him "OneNut"

My parents always keep an eye out for squirrel figurines and found this cute set of 3 squirrels as a family.

OMG, I just realized what I typed out: "stuffed squirrel." I hope Lil_G doesn't read this or I may end up with a surprise in my mail soon! LOL

Too funny about the 'one nut' thing too. You crack me up!

I loved that Swar. Squirrel!! My hubby almost bought it for me, but it looked like it had a flaw or something..I'll have to remind him at Christmas, lol.

When I was initated in the mid-70's, my dad found a yard (concrete)) grey and white squirrel..I still have it.

My mother in law is into ceramics and made me 2 squirrels for Christmas ((haven't put them out yet....will wait until she comes to visit)). Don't want the neighborhood "fashion police" to critize me at the next homeowner's association, lol.

I was at Big Lots last year (Big Lots is this discount close out CHEAP store that we have in MI. It's the best place in the world to go find cheap gifts that are still nice) and I was walking through the decoration dept. and sitting all by itself was this little figurine of 2 grey squirrels, a big one and a little one!! The little one is sitting on a tree stump and they are roasting marshmallows together!!! I always say it's my sis-mom and I!!! I wish there were more so that I could get them for other sisters. I have never seen something that was a grey squirrel and a big and little squirrel together!!! It's the best thing I have ever found!!

I just got mine two weeks ago and feel that it was worth its price.

I might buy some more as gifts!

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a pin I can put on my coat? When I was a new member I put my pledge pin on my coat but I found out if course that I wasn't allowed to. Ever since then I have wanted to find a nice AGD pin for my winter pea coat. Has anyone ever seen anything like that??

Katey,

Have you tried a "squirrel pin" search on Ebay? Lots of things come up. Lots are on the ugly side, but there must be a jewel somewhere!

LXA at UM really liked our house and wanted to do things with us. Well just playing around with us, one day they sent an email out to everyone in our house. It was a ransom notice saying that they had stolen the squirrel we had used at an information table. The also had a pic with two guys holding the squirrel in bandana's and holding a plastic knife to it. The picture was really distorted but and we couldnt make it out, but we decided to get even by stealing their composite (which is a campus tradition for sororties and fraternities to do at UM, totally legal). So in the snow a group of us go and there's all this fun comotion. Finally we decided to do a trade off. When we saw what the squirrel actually looked like, we got mad. We thought it was like the huge one we had, but it was the lil one. We were like we did all of that for this? And admittingly I actually drop kicked the poor thing. However, I decided to keep it ti remind me of all the fun times I had doing stuff like that and I attached my 'Ask Me More About AGD' pin on its belly. Its name is Gammie and its sitting on my bed with my teddy wolverine, Wolvie

I don't know why, Tonya, but this made me laugh so hard!!!

Personally, I love my Anne Geddes Baby Squirrel the best, and I just bought one for my new lil sis today also. She gets pinned tomorrow I believe.

Leslie, more than happy to bring some laughter to Alpha Gam's

Hey Alpha Gams!

The Nature's Jewelry catalog frequently has squirrel and rose jewelry! You can also access their catalog online at www.naturesjewelry.com, although I find that rather hard to use.
