Via random number, the winner of the day 11 giveaway was #90, Gwen, Congrats!!
Are turtle doves a mix between that oh-so-delicious Turtles candy and Dove Chocolates?... If so, I'd eat 'em up!!! ;-) But if we're talking about turtle DOVES-- the bird kind--- I'd release them to join in with all the other doves that live here and feed on our bird feeder! I'm sure they'd fit right in! :-)
And while you guys comment in this final day of the giveaway, I'll be going back through all of the comments from all 12 days and will be putting together 'our'version of the song. It will feature some of my favorite comments from our 12 Giveaway days together. I think it could be pretty funny. Or totally dorky. Probably a good helping of both. :)
But while that's going on, here's the final piece of loot for the day 12 giveaway - a Modern Whimsy FQ pack in Meadow.

I would plant that pear tree right outside my sewing room window so I could see beautiful nature as I sew. And maybe the partridge and I would become good friends.

mmm pears... that partridge isn't getting any!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably feed the partridge - I have the tendency to feed things I find adorable ;)

I would put it in my front room and have fun looking at it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love pears so I'd plant the tree in my yard...but I'd tell that partridge he better find a safer place to hang out because we have a HUGE red tail hawk that I think would see that fat partridge as a nice meal!

I would love the pear tree! If the partridge came with the deal, I guess I'll take him too...as long as he lives outside.
ReplyDeletePartridges are good to eat aren't they? With a yummy pear sauce on top. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI would make a meal out of pear sauce over partridge. For some reason that sounds delicious. And of course plant the pear tree so we can eat pears.
ReplyDeleteI would photograph the partridge in a pair tree, print the photos on fabric and make some cute holiday pillows. I'd then plant the tree outside my window and decorate it with some pretty white lights.
ReplyDeleteAll I'm thinking about is curiosity over how a partridge tastes.
ReplyDeleteI would let the partridge go free and plant the tree!
ReplyDeleteIf it's David Partridge I hope he can still sing!
ReplyDeleteHummm...well I love pears and I am sure roasting a partridge with a pear sauce would be lovely!
ReplyDeleteWe have a very busy bird feeder in our yard, so I'm sure the partridge would feel right at home. I would love to have a pear tree and smell the sweet blossoms in the spring and taste the pears in the fall. Perhaps, the partridge will eat the pears and get so fat that I'd have to eat him on Christmas Eve. This comment definitely took a wrong turn.
ReplyDeleteSad to say, but it would probably be a new toy for my cat...
ReplyDeleteWell 'stuff it' springs immediately to mind!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd love the pear tree! As for the bird, I'd probably set him free.
ReplyDeleteI think I would roast the partridge, plant the pear tree and make pear jam. My family loves it. A pear sauce on the partridge would also be nice.
ReplyDeleteI'd set that puppy up in my kitchen! My kitchen theme is pears and everything pear green. And the partridge? Eh, I guess he can stay too.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd set it free, I think. That's just me...thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletemaddymaze (at)earthlink (dot) net
I'm with Sonia B.--roasted partridge with spiked pear sauce sounds mighty tasty! Sorry Mr. Partridge!
ReplyDeleteThe pear tree would be right at home in our orchard and the partridge well he'd better fly away because it's the shooting season here and I'd hate for anything to happen to him!
ReplyDeleteI would plant the pear tree in my yard free fruit yay. And set the partridge free. Thanks
ReplyDeletelbroadstreet@tds.net
I'd definitely plant that tree in our backyard so I could enjoy the pears! LOVE pears! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'd eat the pears and I'd be pretty tempted to eat the partridge too. Although I'm guessing that if he heard me singing this version of the 12 days of Christmas he'd get as far away as possible :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted a beautiful pear tree and the partridge gets a pardon from the pot around here. Thanks for the fun giveaway.
ReplyDeleteIf it were one of the Partridge Family, I'd wear some earplugs every time I went out to pick pears.
ReplyDeletePear trees are so pretty! I'd definitely keep that to plant at our new house. The partridge would be free to come and go....but hopefully he would stop by for Christmas every year!
ReplyDeleteI would eat the pears and leave the Partridge to be!
ReplyDeleteI would give the partridge to friends who have a small aviary and send the pear tree to my brother as it's not the best climate here for pears. But, he could send us some each year! :-) Where we used to live, our neighbors' dogs would eat the pears right off of our trees but only when they were just ripe for picking. How did they know!?!
ReplyDeleteRoast partridge sounds like it's in order here - and maybe a pear crumble with custard to follow.
ReplyDeleteI'd plant it at my parents place so we could all enjoy the pears. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd plant the tree outside my house and the partridge is welcome to stay!
ReplyDeleteDang - I love pears, so I'd have that tree right outside my sewing room. To keep the partridge away from the tree, I'd create a nice homey spot IN my sewing room. Hopefully, it's song would be pretty enough to listen to "up close & personal!" :)
ReplyDeletequilter {at} mirly {dot} org
he better not peck the pears !!!
ReplyDeleteWe will plant the pear tree in our orchard so the partridge can sit in many trees and look out over the field. After all, a partridge in a pear tree will enjoy seeing his animal friends cavorting on Modern Whimsy in the Meadow. Please give me the chance to see this KOOL scene. Thanks for the 12 days of giveaways - it's fun.
ReplyDeleteI'd send the partridge back to his Partridge Famiy so he'd stop snacking on the pears on my tree!
ReplyDeleteI'd keep the pear tree for my backyard, and let that partridge go be a free bird.
ReplyDeletemapdot{at}gmail{dot}com
Can I have the pears and not the partridge? I have no idea what I would do with one!
ReplyDeleteI love pears but since I am in a fairly cold climate I think the pear tree would have to live in my kitchen. The partridge would stay as long as it promised to be quiet... otherwise I have an excellent recipe for partridge pie.
ReplyDeleteI'd be especially excited about the tree! I really want a fruit tree. I'd get the partridge to toss down the pears at the top of the tree!
ReplyDeleteOoh well, first I'd take every single one of those pears off that tree so that darned Partridge can't eat any more. Then I'd make Pear tortes with puff pastry and send them all to work with hubby for his coworkers to eat.. YUM
ReplyDeleteAnd then that Partridge? Didn't he used to be on a really colorful bus and sing? Wonder why he left that gig and landed in that tree anyway. I always thought they had fun riding that bus all over the country singing as a family. Hmmmmmm Oh well. Guess he left when their show got cancelled and took over that tree.
I am just SURE he'd taste like chicken. I think he might end up as a Partridge Pot Pie. Yea, say that three times fast. HA
I'd find a nice spot to put my pear tree and let the partridge live in it. He'd have to share the pears though!
ReplyDeleteI would plant the tree in my father's orchard and let the partridge stay there eating as much as she likes.
ReplyDeleteIf I had One Partridge in a Pear Tree...............I would just let him hang out and enjoy himself. Maybe introduce him/her to some new friends.
ReplyDeleteA partridge in a pear tree can hang out as long as he likes :)
ReplyDeleteI would steal a pear for me and my daughter and have a picnic under it the tree (hopefully the partridge won't leave us any presents)!
ReplyDeleteI'd feed the partridge...whatever they eat...and harvest some pears for a lovely Christmas pear tart.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid my grandparents had a couple pear trees and I loved climbing them and picking the fruit! I don't remember there being any partridges though. I would plant the tree for the partridge to live in and I would enjoy the tree's fruit. I'd skip the tree climbing part.
ReplyDeleteI would plant the tree and enjoy fresh pears. The partridge could stay, but he'd be free to go too....
ReplyDeleteIf I had one partridge in a pear tree, I would find a place inside to put the tree so it would get enough light to make yummy pears. I'm afraid, however, that either the cat or the two children would harm the bird, so I might have to set it free.
ReplyDeleteI would adopt him as a pet as I do not a pet - a partridge would be just fine.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd get him another partridge so he wouldn't be alone at Christmas!!
ReplyDeletei'd pick some of the pears and cut them up for the partridge and us all to share!
ReplyDeleteIn my dream world, I'd have an indoor greenhouse where I could plant the tree and let the partridge fly around. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely love a pear tree in my backyard, and the bird can do whatever. I wouldn't force him to stay.
ReplyDeleteI would shoo the bird away and then eat some pears. Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI would love a pear tree, as for the bird, he could just sit and sing his pretty tune (do partridges have a pretty tune?). Thanks for the chance, it's been fun entering the 12 days giveaways! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a HOOT! As for what I would do with a partridge in a pear tree, I would be stoked to have a pear tree and the partridge would just be an added bonus of beauty.
ReplyDeleteA pear tree would be wonderful - we love pears!....and the partridge would be most welcome in our giant outdoor aviary where we have the calling birds and the turtledoves.
ReplyDeleteWe can always do with another fruit tree (three growing tummies to fill equals copious amounts of fruit), so the partridge could live in it in our garden :)
ReplyDeleteI'd gladly plant that pear tree and let that cute birdie stay as long as he likes! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI would google planting and growing a pear tree , enlist the help of my hubby, and try to keep it alive. LOL I have a black thumb so to speak. Thankfully hubbies thumb is much greenier than mine so hopefully come spring or whenever they bloom we would still have a tree and the partridge would still have a home.;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful 12 days!!! It has been really fun. Thank you for a chance to win!
I'm a birdwatcher so I think I'd plant the pear tree by the front window and see just what a partridge does while I snack on some pears! Sure enjoyed your 12 days! Happiest of holidays to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteAnd a partridge in a pear tree.
ReplyDeleteJust got to tell you about my little friend Trey. At Sunday School on Sunday = he sang a new rendition of the 12 days of Christmas. Perfectly in tune and time - but just a bit confused on the words. Here goes
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
4 crunched hens,
3 turtle ducks,
2 lords a leaping,
and a Poodledop in a pear tree.
He sang this portion of the song over and over and louder every time (this was during free play so he could sing loudly if he wanted to)... and every time - he'd jump from the 1st day to the 4th.
Now that is my new song. I chuckle to myself as I think about it.
SO - a partridge in a pear tree - will never be the same again.
thanks for the chance to win.
Hope I have warmed your heart as much as Trey did mine :)

We already have 2 pear trees so it would need to be planted near them to take advantage of the cross pollination; I'm afraid the partridge would be dinner
ReplyDeleteI would probably snap a picture of it sitting in a pear tree. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIs a Partridge like a Mourning Dove? If so I've got tons of them around, but it's the squirrels that get all the pears around here so their really better off in the other commentators gardens!
ReplyDeleteOnly one? We must add another to make a pair.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a partridge in a pear tree, I would have to build sturdy cage for it to protect it from the hungry hawks in the skies around here.
ReplyDeleteI'd take it as a sign that many blessings are being bestowed upon me. Then, I would feed and enjoy watching the patridge, and I'd can the pears to share with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled to have a pear tree in my yard! And the accompanying partridge could make itself right at home here on the farm. Thanks for sharing the fun and the treats during this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteThe pear tree would be very welcome. It can join the apple and plum! Yummy! The partridge will find lots of company in the yard because we have a flock of quail that live here. Partridges are in the family, but a little bigger, I think.
ReplyDeleteThe partridge would make a perfect Christmas eve meal. And as a desert a pear with ice cream :)
ReplyDeleteSusanne
I'd invite the partridge to stay put in his tree and pose for me--every year I intend to make a "first day of Christmas wall-hanging" and this might be the impetus I need to actually get it done.
ReplyDeleteRoast partridge, of course!
ReplyDeleteThe partridge can stay in the pear tree and be decorative.
ReplyDeleteThe partridge can stay in the tree, and the pears I'll eat.
ReplyDeleteA partridge in a pear tree would sing each morning and evening with her special call. Merry Christmas Lauren. Have a wonderful holiday season!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter won the ostrich pillows and we both love your site and always talk about your talent and projects.
I would plant the pear tree and allow the partridge to live in. Perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteI have the perfect spot in the lawn right outside the sewing room window for the pear tree. The partridge would need to find a mate and they could live happily ever after in the pear tree. ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun giveaway posts!
I can just taste the canned pears I would make from the pear tree :) The partridge would have a permanent home to stay in and watch over my bounty :)
