Christmas decorating {vignettes, nativity set}
Christmas decor, vignettes, nativity scene
Well hello there! I feel like I have been totally out of the loop here with visiting and catching up with you all.
I plan on taking some time tomorrow and the weekend to catch up.
I only have a few more things to show you related to my Christmas decorating.
To think it will be all down in a few weeks is just mind boggling to me.
We all work so hard to getter done!
I was practicing some of my candle light shots...as you can see I still need some practice.
I have had these three votives for a few years now. I purchased those at Bath and body works..they do look very pretty at night.
You see my pretty nativity scene? This was gifted to me last year by my Mother-in-law in from Buffalo. She hand made this back in the day when she took ceramic classes.
Apparently, it even won the award that year. I just love it.
Like my white feather boas? I think they add a very pretty softness to the nativity scene...
I am determined in 2012 I will find a piece to replace this outdoor garden table I have had for years.
It has served a great purpose for many years...but it's time to go...
Some rustic outdoor elements.
Until we meet again....
Have a great evening everyone, and thanks for stopping by.

I think your candlelight pics turned out gorgeous! I love your nativity scene.
Beautiful, Debbie! I love the white boa around the nativity!
Debbie, what a pretty vignette! The feather boas add an ethereal quality to the nativity! Very creative! And very pretty!
Looking good Debbie. Love the Nativity scene and the white feather boa looks like fluffy clouds. Love it.
Very pretty Deb..
what sort of piece do you have in mind to replace your present table.?
Just beautiful Deb. I love the wreath, but most of all that nativity set surrounded with boas, perfect touch. I posted mine yesterday, take a peek.
Merry Christmas

I think you did a great job with your candlelight pics (I'm jealous). I also have some handmade ceramic pieces from my grandmother...I cherish them :)
Very pretty, Debbie! What a gorgeous nativity set! That was some project your MIL took on.
the pictures are wonderful Debbie. Love the feathers and the nativity scene.
Your nativity is beautiful. The white feathers give it such a soft snowy feeling. Very pretty.

What a beautiful nativity Debbie and I love the wreath on your mirror! Everything looks so pretty! I can't believe how fast Christmas is coming. Have a great weekend, Martina
Hi Debbie, I love the nativity that your Mother in law gave you. My mom made the same set I believe and it's beautiful as well. Thank you for stopping my and leaving your sweet comment on my "Angel" in the window arrangement. Merry Christmas!
Hugz,

Your nativity set is beautiful and the white boa sets it off so well. (Funny but I like your table.)
Slow down. That garden table needs to go right back out side by the fire pit as a server table or by the pizza over to set things on. Or a corner potting table for working on you pots. Outside it must go, as long as it's not to the curb. I know you will find what you are looking for. Isn't it fun to play with your camera and the lighting. Oh, that's right we haven't seen the sun for almost two weeks.
Such pretty pictures! I love those snowflake votives...very nice! Yes, the light shines through so pretty.
I remember you showing your nativity last year, and the great story that went with it. :-)
I wish you and your family a very Merry and blessed Christmas.♥
What a beautiful nativity scene. You are so lucky to have it passed down to you and it will certainly become a family heirloom. The boa looks like soft snow, a very nice touch:-)
Love, love the nativity, and it looks great with the feathers! I think your candle shots are beautiful too. Can't wait to see what replaces the table even though I love the table. Beautiful!!
Debbie it is all simply beautiful! I love to see the candles and the nativity is lovely!
Please come and enter my Grand Finale of Holiday Giveaways from Greyfreth. You will love it!

The soft colors of the nativity are beautiful! Thanks for sharing these pretty vignettes. I think you did a great job with the candlelight pictures.
That nativity set is really pretty! That sure was nice of her to give it to you. I like the feathers around it.
Oh WOW that's a BIG candle... Your picture came out quite lovely.. My husband and I went to an Italian Eatery today and I thought of you... They had Roosters ALL over the place ( not live ones of course... :) But they had one or was it a Chicken... Either way it was CUTE... But it was in a GIANT bird cage with little chicks so Cute... I asked them if I could get a picture of it for my Blogging Friend... :) I was telling are waiter all about you... Isn't that FUNNY!!! well I grabbed some shots so I will send them to you.. :)
Love all your Vignettes..
Love the nativity set from your MIL, I think baby Jesus just loves the feathers...you know that is my kind of decorating!! Yes and pretty soon we take it all down, I am going to do it before my son leaves on the 27th so he can put it all back in the attic!

Hi Debbie,
Your candles look wonderful.
I love your nativity set. WOW! The feather boas looks great with it.
Beautiful vignettes!!!
Dee
Debbie, I just love your nativity...and the boa. You did a great job with your candlelight pictures. Everything is just so festive!
Marianne :)
It is so special to have your mother in laws nativity set. It is beautiful! Your candlelight pictures are very pretty!
Wendy
That nativity scene is amazingly beautiful! What a treasure! Your pictures are great! The best way to do night shots are to use a tripod and (here is the trick!) set your camera to timer mode. When you press the button, the camera won't take the picture immediately and you won't get the blur that can happen when you press the shutter button! Tips from Kat! Ha!!!
Cozy and warm nativity. The three votives are so pretty as well thegreen runner with Christmas tree is beautiful. All festive.
The table vignette is beautiful. I agree that the feathers add an ethereal look to your lovely nativity. That was a nice gift from your MIL. I love your style, Debbie! You are so good at what you do. Thanks for sharing it with us. I hope you will consider sharing your style at my Show & Tell parties on Wednesdays. You can find it at mrshinesclass.wordpress.com

I think you did great with the candlelight. I have a whale of a time. Of course, I have a whale of a time with trees too.
I love that nativity and actually love your garden table too. I can understand that you might be tired of it, but I love the look of it.
Same here with the visiting other blogs. It's about all I can do to get something posted amid all the Christmas to do-ing.
Love the wreath over the mirror and the candleholders. Looks like you are ready, but I am like you-to think it all has to come down!
Love the joy added to the wreath. The nativity is just beautiful in blue.
Wow! Your MIL is so talented! Love your nativitiy! Love the ethereal quality to it by adding the boa! Thanks for sharing.
Debbie, I cannot believe how beautiful the nativity set looks set off in those white feathers!! I know what you mean about having to take it all down after what seems to be only a short time. It's bittersweet- I want it to last longer!
I'd say your candlelight picture-taking skills are coming along very nicely, for this post is full of lovely pictures!
I just love your Nativity set. How wonderful that your mother-in-law made it! That's one of the most beautiful sets I've ever seen. :)
Your nativity vignette is beautiful, Debbie, and your candlelight pictures are gorgeous!
Thanks you for linking to Potpourri Friday at 2805!
It all looks wonderful, Debbie! I really like your rustic garden table -- hope it doesn't go completely away...lol! The nativity is beautiful, & I love the feather boa.
