Holiday palm related ornaments

Cindy Adair · 2021-12-18T00:35:31+0000

Trimming my little artificial tree this year I noticed the many ornaments related to IPS travel. Memories abound. Chime in if you attended any of the same IPS travel or have any palm related ornaments. First the decorated tree. My first Biennial was Thailand where I bought several elephant figurines at one of the Nong Nooch garden gift shops and added ornament hangers. The lemur brings back memories of an IPS Madagascar trip. The Seychelles was a side trip with an IPS friend and their double coconut coin is a favorite. And this Cuba bottle cap and a hot glued hanger topped some beverage on that post tour to the FL Biennial. No memory of the actual drink but perhaps someone reading this will fill me in? Singapore and Australia have pretty coins too! This hummingbird was from a botanical garden gift shop in the Director’s meeting in CA. This palm tree was not IPS travel related, but fit the overall palm theme. For those who missed her in the first photo, here’s my cat who is sure she is invisible. Happy Holidays everyone!
