freerange Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 DS has requested an advent calender for his birthday & since he's chicken mad I thought I'd try to find a chicken themed one. But where??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a search on the net and not found anything yet....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freerange Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 well I think DS was thinking of something chocolate filled for himself, but now that you come to mention it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Certainly something for Omlet to think about for next year. Maybe it could have a Man In Pants on it to give us something to keep us occupied too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 MONTY DON - just think, I could have had a fix of him before going to work - lucky you, Lesley. can't imagine him in stilettos, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Back to chicken advent calendars (I've obviously missed the Tim Curry in stilletoes thread, thank goodness I don't want to even think about him, or Monty Don attired as transvestites). I've not seen a chickeny themed advent calendar, but how about making your own? I got really fed up with chocolate advent calendars a few years ago, and the picture ones just didn't impress my little darlings, so I made one- just a large piece of felt with 24 pockets stitched on it. Mines not very good to be honest, naive art at it's worst I'd suggest, but I did it quickly and it's a few years old now. Anyway I fill the pockest with little itty, bitty things, sweets and chocolates on a few days of course, interspersed with little gifts, erasers, stickers, pencil sharpeners, hairbands, earrings and the like. I'm sure you find a few chickeny bits to pop in, an egg cup, teaspoon, chicken or egg shaped erasers or chocolate, and for Christmas Eve- the freshest egg possible to be boiled for breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freerange Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Funnily enough a friend has just launched her Christmas range http://jellybee.co.uk/customer/home.php?cat=258 so I might see if she can do a chicken on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I managed to find a tradional looking advent calenda(not a chocolate in sight) from a shop called Sussex Stationers with chickens on. It's actually a scene of a wooden hen house and chooks in the snow. AAAhhh!!! Sussex Stationers aren't only in Sussex, as my Dad lives in Dorset and they have a branch there.
