These dark winter nights are rich, ripe, and blooming with symbolism.
This book is beyond beautiful, and speaks to the mysteries of this sacred time in a way that transcends religion.
It is perfect for a small girl and her mother to read together as they anticipate the birth of a tiny baby in their own home.
How to bring these shining beings to life?
Well, start with some potato people.
Add velvet.
Place on the advent altar, amidst the stones and plants and animals.
I’m still working on the babies, mine and Mary’s. Both are expected soon.
Alas, the sweet, dreaming donkey shall have to wait until next year to interrupt my holiday crafting.
