- Gail Gale.
0:03
That's an unusual name,
0:04
isn't it? (laughs) - Gail Gale, yeah. (laughs)
0:06
- Gail Gale, I got your gift,
0:10
and it's sitting right here on my kitchen counter.
0:12
It is the cutest thing I've ever seen,
0:16
as you can see, and then, I put some lights in there
0:20
so the tree would light up.
0:22
But it's crazy
0:24
how intricate this stuff is.
0:26
And she said, "I put a crown 'cause you're the queen
0:30
of southern cuisine. - Crowns.
0:32
You got your copper pots. - The copper pots.
0:34
- Mixing bowls. - The chickens.
0:37
Aren't the chickens - Chickens?
0:37
- in there somewhere? - Yes.
0:39
Yes. - I think the chickens
0:41
are right there in front.
0:42
You might can rotate it. - Mm-hm.
0:44
- [Paula] But Gail, this is the sweetest letter that,
0:51
(laughs) she said that I got from you.
0:54
She said, "Tried to include the chickens
0:56
"but couldn't find one that looked like Fang." (laughs)
0:59
(Eddie laughs) Nobody looks like Fang.
1:01
(both laugh) So,
1:04
this really inspired us.
1:06
You know, I used to craft.
1:09
I used to,
1:10
I used to love to do cross stitch.
1:14
- All right. - And you and I will pull out
1:15
paint brushes, and we'll paint once in a while, and
1:20
last Halloween,
1:23
we bought those pictures that could be any time of year.
1:27
- Right, right, and we remade them a little bit
1:30
for Halloween. - Yes, yes.
1:32
We made 'em a Halloween picture,
1:34
and they were precious.
1:38
And what, those pictures probably didn't cost what?
1:40
Three or $4 apiece? - Right.
1:42
I just got 'em at a thrift store.
1:44
- Yeah. (laughs) - You can go to yard sales
1:46
and get paintings - They
1:48
- and stuff like that. - Turned out so cute.
1:50
And in fact, it seems like we put one
1:52
back here. - We had one there for
1:53
- For Halloween, yeah. - The month, yeah. (laughs)
1:58
- But she says, "My name is Gail Gale,
1:59
"and I live in a small town in Oklahoma.
2:02
"And I just wanted to write and tell you
2:04
"how much I've enjoyed your cooking show,
2:06
"cookbooks, and now your YouTube channel.
2:09
"You have brought so much joy into homes
2:11
"across our land with your cooking stories
2:13
"and great humor."
2:15
Gail,
2:16
thank you, honey.
2:17
Thank you. - And she sent Theresa
2:19
and I a tree kit - Yeah,
2:20
a kit. - as well to
2:23
- All right, have you taken it out and looked at it?
2:25
- I have, and that, I mean, this definitely takes
2:29
some time to do. - Uh-huh, oh.
2:31
- It will take some time.
2:33
It's like decorating a real tree.
2:35
It's got so many, so many things to add on to it.
2:38
- Yeah, yeah.
2:40
So, you know, I didn't get to see y'all's,
2:43
but I would love for you to start putting it together
2:45
up here so I could see what you're doing.
2:48
- I will; I'm gonna have to go out and
2:50
find some fun, you know, fun, you know,
2:52
things to go around the base.
2:54
- Well, apparently,
2:56
and what do you call this, a cloche?
2:58
- Yeah or-- - Shut up, Donald. (laughs)
3:00
- Clock dome, yeah. - My cousin.
3:03
My cousin is manning the camera, Don,
3:07
and I think he was laughing at my pronunciation
3:09
of that word. (laughs) (Eddie laughs)
3:11
How do you say it? - Yeah, cloche.
3:13
- I said it right.
3:15
There you go, Don.
3:17
That's this thing right here. (fingernails tap cloche)
3:18
That dome.
3:19
And she said, "Should it get broken,
3:21
"you can get a replacement at Hobby Lobby
3:24
"or any craft store." - Yes.
3:29
- Well, I think
3:32
you are just great, Gail Gale.
3:34
And like I said, you have inspired us.
3:36
So, - So, Bubbles also
3:39
inspired us.
3:39
She went to a (taps tree base),
3:41
was telling us about - Yes.
3:43
- a little class she was taking, so.
3:45
- Yes, I hope she's gone give us one for Christmas.
3:48
So, what did they take, old jewelry?
3:51
- Yeah, I, well, you know, I just went online and
3:55
got, you know, like, bins of old jewelry
3:58
and this stuff, of course, is
4:01
all re reproduction broaches that was sold in bulk.
4:05
But then, there's some, you know,
4:07
(necklace clatters) some, you know, like,
4:08
antique vintage pieces. - Yeah, it's kinda like
4:11
my shelling, you know.
4:13
I'd order shells in bulk.
4:16
I didn't go to the beach and pick most of 'em up.
4:19
(necklace clatters) So is this good stuff
4:22
right here? - This is, yeah.
4:23
I mean, this is probably 1950.
4:24
It looks like it's crystal, - I know it.
4:27
- crystal beads. - It's pretty.
4:29
- I'm gonna use it as garland.
4:31
- Well, I was gonna say I may wanna use it.
4:33
- You might wanna snag it
4:35
- Yes. - off my
4:36
- Yes, off of your tree. - Tree?
4:37
- (laughs) So,
4:40
Eddie went and bought this styrofoam tree, y'all.
4:42
And it was already covered with the gold.
4:45
So, - I kinda wanted to do,
4:47
like, a vintage, you know, silver and gold look.
4:52
- Okay, so you got your, - So,
4:53
- you got your, (decorations clatter)
4:55
- I got the large, yeah.
4:56
That comes with the large.
4:57
One's already on there. - Yes.
5:00
I like that, don't y'all?
5:03
All right, well tell us what, (decorations clatter)
5:04
what you gonna do?
5:07
And I may be working on this tree over here.
5:10
- Yeah, now, you kind of have to lay yours out.
5:13
- Okay. - Being flat.
5:14
- Right now, so Eddie has suggested I'm using kind of
5:19
a gold background, but look at these he found.
5:23
(decorations clatter) Y'all, these are so shiny.
5:26
And my cousin, Don, who's filming this for me,
5:29
his wife says she knows I was a barracuda
5:32
in a former life (laughs)
5:34
because I'm attracted to shiny objects.
5:39
Look at these. - They're sparkly.
5:41
- Yeah, Eddie said, so put those on the top
5:43
so those will really, (decorations clatter)
5:46
really pop. - Let those be the finishing.
5:48
- And then, he got, where'd you find
5:51
these Styrofoam balls? - I just got those up
5:53
at the craft store, you know?
5:57
- I mean, they're light as a feather.
5:59
(decorations clatter) So, you know, he thought
6:01
we could fill in, you know,
6:03
'cause it kinda looks like pearls.
6:08
All right, let's see, how many have I got on?
6:10
I've got three on.
6:11
Yeah.
6:14
So, this is gone be really, really pretty
6:16
when I get through, (decorations clatter)
6:19
but, you know, there's just so much we can do, y'all.
6:25
So much to do.
6:26
All it takes is a little imagination.
6:30
And
6:32
some days I got lots of that,
6:33
and some things, I don't have much (laughs),
6:37
you know what I mean?
6:40
(glue gun creaks) You know what I mean, Vern?
6:42
(glue gun clicks) - I know what you mean.
6:44
(glue gun taps counter) - Thank you.
6:45
He does talk. (laughs)
6:49
All right, how are you coming?
6:53
- I'm further along than you. (everyone laughs)
6:58
(glue gun creaks) - To me, this is so relaxing.
7:04
Okay, I have a little gap. (decorations clatter)
7:08
I left a little gap by my stake right there,
7:11
so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put that leaf
7:15
and put it right there so that that stem
7:20
will cover that hole that I got.
7:22
- [Eddie] Do you see that vintage piece right there?
7:25
I don't know what, this was, like, a shoe?
7:28
A shoe clip or something? - Uh-huh.
7:30
- It kind of like expands. - Yeah.
7:33
- But I thought that was
7:33
interesting. - Yeah, they used to make
7:35
a lot of those when we wanted to dress up our shoes.
7:38
- Yeah. - So y'all can see
7:40
how this is going.
7:41
And where did you find this wooden tree?
7:45
- Again, I just kinda found it (decorations clatter)
7:46
at a, you know, the craft store
7:48
- Yeah. - Already done.
7:48
I figured we'd do one cone shaped and one flat.
7:52
- Yeah, if you've got a handy husband,
7:55
(glue gun clicks) oh, I didn't get enough glue
7:59
on this piece, (glue gun creaks)
8:00
if you've got a handy husband,
8:02
ow, ow, ow.
8:05
Ow.
8:07
Be careful. (laughs)
8:08
Careful. (glue gun creaks)
8:10
If you got a handy husband and you got a piece of wood
8:13
laying around the house,
8:15
I mean, he could easily cut you out
8:17
what kind of shape you wanted,
8:21
(decorations clatter) and if you see that
8:22
you got some glue on something,
8:28
after it cools, it will come off.
8:32
This looks so old.
8:35
- That one is, yeah. - Oh, it is?
8:39
- There was one, (decorations clatter)
8:40
I went on eBay and bought, you know, like,
8:43
one batch of, you know, like the crystal.
8:46
- Mm-hm. - Crystal beads.
8:48
And the little shell.
8:52
It just came as one little lot of vintage jewelry.
8:56
- You don't think those stones are
8:58
anything that could be real, - Nah.
8:59
- do you? - For what I paid for it,
9:02
(Paula laughs) I would say,
9:03
no. - Not. (laughs)
9:07
- But,
9:09
- Uh-oh. - if it is,
9:11
- See?
9:13
We're getting going. - 95% is mine. (whispers)
9:15
- [Paula] (laughs) 95% of it's yours?
9:18
(Eddie laughs) You've been collecting
9:20
this stuff over the years. - Well, no.
9:22
This I just got. - I don't know if I like
9:26
those white balls on that tree, Eddie.
9:28
- You don't? - I don't think I do.
9:30
- You think I should just-- - Stand back and look at it.
9:33
- What about the red ones?
9:35
- You know, the red's not bad,
9:38
but the white ones,
9:41
yeah, oops, that's really pretty right there.
9:44
What do y'all think?
9:46
Would y'all let me know what y'all think?
9:48
(Eddie laughs) Red balls, white balls,
9:50
no balls? (laughs)
9:54
I don't know, maybe if they were down here.
9:56
I don't know, just-- - Well, I'm gonna add more.
9:58
I'm gonna (laughs)-- - I know it, but I'm just
10:00
thinking.
10:02
I don't know.
10:02
Well, I pulled that one off.
10:05
So, why don't we, - Let's get a little further
10:08
along, and we'll come back. - Yes.
10:10
(decorations clatter) Come back. (laughs)
10:13
You know, a good (indistinct) and a new pair of eyes
10:16
could work wonders. (laughs) (Eddie laughs)
10:22
Y'all may wanna see this.
10:24
I do, too.
10:25
Some of y'all might recognize that
10:28
some of this is from my jewelry line.
10:31
I just went back there, and then I've got multitudes of.
10:37
That's from my jewelry line.
10:38
That's from my jewelry line. (decorations clatter)
10:40
This is from my jewelry line.
10:43
(decoration clangs) Yeah I like my little parrots.
10:50
A Christmas parrot.
11:00
We're just standing up here
11:01
talking about my new watch
11:04
that Michael gave me.
11:06
It was his daddy's,
11:09
and I just love it.
11:10
I love it because I can see the letters. (laughs)
11:15
I meant the numbers. - And what year is it?
11:17
Do you know? - I don't know.
11:20
I can't see anything on it. (laughs)
11:23
But I can tell that it's 20 till six.
11:30
What kinda watch is it?
11:32
Can you read that, Eddie? - It's a Seiko.
11:33
It's a railroad watch. - A Seiko, a railroad watch.
11:36
His father was with the railroad.
11:38
- They had to be real accurate.
11:40
- Yes, well, this one is, and I love it.
11:43
I love it.
11:44
All right, so y'all can see
11:46
I'm much slower than Eddie.
11:49
I keep going to the back, and - It's getting there.
11:51
- [Paula] fumbling through jewelry.
11:53
But it's gonna be beautiful.
11:56
It's gonna be beautiful when I get through with it, and
12:01
there's Eddie's.
12:02
Well, I thought you were gonna try it
12:03
with the lights, Eddie. - I'll have to find some.
12:07
- Hey, Eddie, how are you? - Hey, how are you?
12:09
- Hey, Paula. (tree whooshes as it turns)
12:14
- Sparkly. - It's beautiful.
12:20
It's beautiful, beautiful. - I'll go find some lights
12:22
to try. - Yeah, yeah.
12:24
Put a strand of lights on it, and then
12:30
we'll vote.
12:32
I want y'all to vote.
12:33
Is Eddie's the prettiest, or is mine the prettiest?
12:36
- Uh-oh. - Oh, we don't do that.
12:38
- Yes, we do.
12:39
- No. - You know, we love
12:40
competition. - I don't like competition.
12:42
- I love competition. (laughs) (Eddie laughs)
12:46
All right, so y'all, - Yours looks like
12:49
- Oh, it really did turn out - old
12:50
fashioned - good.
12:51
- Christmas. - Didn't it turn out good?
12:52
But look at Eddie's now, y'all.
12:54
His is elegant.
12:57
Just straight elegant.
12:58
- [Michael] His has got lights
12:59
on it, too. - Yes.
13:02
Why don't you turn your lights
13:03
on? - They're on.
13:04
- [Paula] Oh. (laughs)
13:06
They are on. - They're kind of,
13:08
I need new batteries. - Why don't, yeah,
13:09
you need something.
13:11
Let me cut off these lights and see,
13:16
see if that won't, yeah, that shows it up
13:19
a little bit better.
13:20
Ooh, Lulu just pooted.
13:24
- And tell us about the middle - Whoa.
13:25
- one. Eddie. - Huh?
13:27
- This one? - Yes, we, yeah, we talked
13:29
about that. - Gail Gale.
13:30
Gail Gale started all of this, Michael.
13:33
- I know it. - She sent this to us.
13:34
She sent Eddie and Theresa
13:37
- It's a little bead tree. - a kit.
13:40
- And you, I mean, and it's - It's precious.
13:43
- As time-consuming as decorating a real tree. (laughs)
13:46
- Oh yeah. - Yes, yes.
13:49
- It looked tedious. - And look.
13:51
Look at the crown.
13:52
I can't, oh, there's the crown.
13:55
She put the crown front and center,
13:57
and the only thing we did-- - Was that for the king?
14:00
Is that for me? - Yeah,
14:03
it's for you.
14:05
- [Michael] Well you know what you call the--
14:06
- I didn't know you were a queen.
14:08
- [Michael] No, I'm a king
14:10
because you're the Queen of Southern Cuisine.
14:12
And do you know what you call the queen's husband?
14:18
King. - (laughs) Oh,
14:20
I thought it was ass. (everyone laughs)
14:26
You have to keep reminding me of that, Michael.
14:30
(Michael laughs) So Eddie does not like
14:32
to competition,
14:34
and I love competition.
14:36
I think it's healthy.
14:39
So (laughs)
14:45
judge it, okay?
14:47
(Eddie laughs) - Me?
14:47
- Y'all had fun, no, not you. (laughs)
14:52
Because I know who you'll pick. (laughs)
14:55
- [Michael] Yours actually turned out
14:56
way better than I thought.
14:57
When you first started it,
14:58
I was thinking, how tacky.
15:00
(Paula laughs) - Well, the idea was
15:03
to do something
15:05
to, I don't want to get the exact same thing as yours.
15:10
- Right. - It needed to be
15:11
- Two totally different - Something different.
15:13
- Things, and I think you did so good
15:17
because, you know, I don't know if I would have
15:19
selected this or not
15:22
because I might not could have seen
15:25
the beauty, - The vision
15:26
- But I love this. of the (laughs).
15:29
- And I also love and adore yours.
15:34
- Well, I found the box, - Uh-oh, your,
15:36
your, - My, yeah, it
15:38
- Your bow fell.
15:39
Glue that thing up there good.
15:40
- I didn't wanna 'cause that's yours.
15:42
I didn't want to - Well, I don't care.
15:44
- Ruin it. - We can pull it off.
15:45
Give me that thing.
15:47
Let me put some more glue on it
15:49
'cause this pulls right off.
15:56
Will it reach? - It'll reach.
16:05
Anyways, you can find,
16:07
you can go online and find, you know, just boxes
16:10
and boxes of this stuff.
16:11
You don't wanna spend too much money on
16:14
on anything that you're gonna be
16:17
sticking hot glue on. - But you know what, Eddie?
16:20
I don't wanna take this apart
16:21
- No, no, no, no. - After Christmas.
16:23
I want to keep it - Yeah.
16:24
- And pass it down. - Mm-hm, yeah.
16:27
- I think I'll sign it and date it.
16:29
And you need to sign and date yours.
16:34
And we've made sure that Gail Gale is
16:38
- Gail Gale. - You know, Gail.
16:39
(Eddie laughs) has signed hers.
16:40
Don't look like you're gone
16:41
come over here to mine. - I'm not even gonna touch it.
16:43
I'm gonna, (Paula laughs)
16:44
I just like the, - He's trying to
16:45
tacky mine up, y'all. I like the magnetic strip.
16:48
- Too late. (everyone laughs)
16:51
- What you mean too late? (Michael laughs)
16:54
- What you mean? - Too late for him
16:55
to make yours tacky. (laughs) - She could be wearing
16:58
all this. - I sure could. (laughs)
16:59
- All at once. - I know it,
17:00
and it'll frighten you. - I sure could.
17:03
(Eddie speaks indistinctly) Lumie has the stinkingest
17:08
farts (whispers)
17:09
of any dog.
17:11
Does Max and Otis do that; I mean, Max and Gus?
17:14
