dried fruits have always meant Christmas to me. {country living}

 I love the galvanized container that serves to hold this live tree. {country living}

 simple white card stock, a dove pattern, and heavy pruning make for a stunning reminder of peace and the holy spirit. {country living}

 I love this thick pinecone garland. {country living}

this golden beauty is awash in lights. You can never have too many lights. or golden ribbon for that matter. {country living}

ah martha. even the symmetry of your trees seem to achieve perfection. I love symmetry. but I also love this tree for the edible gingerbread goodies and the dramatic red ribbon that hangs them. {martha stewart}

 why not have a pretty little potted tree in each room of your home? {house beautiful}

everything on this tree is edible. What’s not to like? {house beautiful}

a book tree. Why didn’t I think of that?
creative genius. simply. {curbly}

Which one is your favorite??

I love the natural simplicity of this pinecone tree:

This ‘tree’ would make an amazing addition to a buffet or as a centerpiece just before serving Christmas dinner.

and, as far as projects go, if you have a yard full of pinecones, even better.

merry. merry.

My favorite thing about our creche scene
is that, although it does not look to be so, the set is completely unbreakable.

Which comes in handy if you have little fingers around.
I love that I can encourage our children to play with our nativity set whenever they want.

It is a Fontanini.
and it is a classic.

Our manger lies empty as we wait.
