MY FAVORITES…People always what is my favorite nutcracker, and I always answer that I have many favorites--- Maybe it is the season, or the weather, or the mood I’m in, but here is my list for today……..
 |
Favorite “Put you in the Holiday Mood” nutcracker---The Christmas Tree, created by Christian Ulbricht especially for the museum, each frond individually carved. |
 |
Favorite “What is it made of” nutcracker…This screw is made of Narwal tusk. Known as the “Unicorn of the Sea”, the Narwal has a long, fearsome tusk that grows through his lip. |
 |
Favorite of Children’s Nutcracker Hunts…This delightful Clown with Balloons was designed and painted by Susan Milford, and turned by her husband Walt. |
 |
Favorite of Youth’s Nutcracker Hunts…This Lizard, carved in Poland, is resting on a stick waiting for an insect to enter his domain. |
 |
Favorite of Adult Nutcracker Hunts…A Duck going Hunting…designed in America, produced in China. This is hunting season and the duck is getting even! |
 |
Favorite “Scary” nutcracker….Ooooh, yes, this guy’s eyes seem to follow you as you walk along…creepy!!! |
 |
Favorite “Makes you Laugh” nutcracker….The Little General from Sonneberg makes me laugh every time I pass by. |
 |
Favorite “Really Cracks a Nut” nutcracker….This Toy Soldier by Ulbricht’s Seiffener Nussknackerhaus can actually be used to crack a nut for you. |
 |
Favorite “Now that is just plain Wacky” nutcracker…This bug-eyed, mischievous frog was crafted by one of our talented local students for our “Make Your own Nutcracker” contest. |
 |
Favorite of “George’s Favorites”…”Karl” of course---the 6 foot tall happy Bavarian, carved by Karl Rappl of Oberammergau and was always introduced by George as his favorite beer drinking partner! |
