Growing up, we always called the items that hung from the Christmas Tree ornaments, whether they were round or novelty shaped. It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned that "baubles" are generally spherical while ornaments are anything else. So technically, this goose is cosied up with a nest full of baubles, but since that doesn't cover today's prompt I'm going to throw back to my childhood and call them ornaments!

I also call these ornaments. Along with you, it wasn't until I was older that I heard the word bauble, but they will always be baubles to me. Love your cards.
ReplyDeleteI've always called them ornaments so I think you're good. I love how the image pops against the white embossed background.
ReplyDeleteI also only knew them as ornaments until I got on line and made friends in other countries and heard them call them baubles. I like the white fern behind the nest and the snow dots. I think I like the vertical one just a tad bit more!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that you called these 'ornaments' as a child. I wondered if 'Baubles' was a UK word or a fancy name as I too never heard of it actually until I started designing with UK teams. Either way our ornaments are treasures on my tree, each one hand made or has a story of origin making Christmas such a blessed time of year.
ReplyDeleteThe cards are wonderful and very elegant, Beccy.
ReplyDeleteI love the goose so much and have already used it for a Christmas card.
I hope the little goose doesn't get eaten on Christmas Eve ;)
Best wishes!

(Tomatoes)Two may toes or Ta ma toes. We always called them ornaments as well. I always that a bauble was a piece of jewelry. If this goose lays a gold ornament it's going to be a good thing. [Bunny]

ReplyDeleteWe always called then Christmas ornaments - or decorations. I have a liitle box that was passed on from my Mum with a note saying that it contained decorations from the late1800s. Whether they are ornaments, decorations or baubles, they are pretty special!
ReplyDeleteI never knew this. We've always called them ornaments no matter what shape. Though I love the word bauble, it's fun to say!
