As the years go by I have changed my holiday decorating quite a bit. Since there aren’t any little ones running around any more and life is still as busy as ever, my new thing has become ‘less is more’.
I found this pretty Angel last year at Diamond Antiques & Gifts in Tarentum and I really enjoyed her presence on living room mantle. I’m not a collector of angels or dolls but this piece spoke to me. Not literally (like the little bird in the last post). I walked by her more than a few times before I decided to bring her home.
You know how you see something and you don’t get it right away for whatever reason? Then go home and it keeps popping into your head? Then you rush back to the store days later knowing it’s going to be a toss up as to whether said object will be there or not? That was this purchase.
I don’t know what this piece is made of. It’s not chalk or plaster or plastic either. There is a light sprinkle of glitter on her that doesn’t rub off and I just love how she is looking up to spy a little bird on a twig.
The lighting of the miniature birch trees is perfect for ambient lighting and it will stay on all season. Simple and so pretty. The birch trees were a great find a few years ago at an after season sale. They were regularly priced at 60.00 and I found them for 15.00. Such a perfect and easy decoration with subtle impact in this space.
Plus the cat named Bird can’t reach it😾
Enjoy your weekend!
