Ornamental, My Dear

Sugar plums and popcorn strings are swell tree decorations, but what about pizza? And how about pickles? Food theme ornaments are sold everywhere, but some of our favorites are these vegetable patch danglers, above, sold at Smith & Hawken in Beverly Hills and Pasadena and the miniature clay cakes and cookies and corn, below, available at Bristol Kitchens in South Pasadena and Woodland Hills.

Holly Jolly For decking that holiday table with plates of the season, Los Angeles Pottery’s “Christmas Holly” pattern is an excellent choice. Available at Doin’ Dishes in Santa Monica.
