{Fragrant Pillar Candle from Last Call by Neiman Marcus}

Are you also shopping at Outlets? Our favorite is Last Call by Neiman Marcus at Premium Outlets or even on line (first hyperlink). So also this Pillar Candle did come from Last Call by Neiman Marcus and it is heavenly fragrant. That way, one of life's luxuries comes available to those living on a budget. Last Call's After - Christmas Sale is SUPER! Just check on line often for knowing what's coming, click the hyperlink above. It really does pay off for having email notifications of their special one day SUPER Sales. They are also on Facebook: Neiman Marcus Last Call.
Love the golden green huge pillar candle. This one is a full 6" or 15 cm in diameter and will last for more than 60 hours... Smells heavenly!
Just added some of our abundant holly berries.
Last year we had none and now plenty!
The Christmas table topper is made from hardanger fabric, bought in Germany...
Fresh cranberries added...
These Antioxidant Super Fruits will be turned into Cranberry Conserve later!
Have you used any fresh cranberries this year? Either for cooking or for decorating...?

  8. Lieve Mariëtte,

    Heel erg bedankt voor je attente gelukswensen!! Dat je dat nog wist! Lief hoor...
    Kom helaas niet zo vaak meer langs, drukke tijden en niet meer zoveel online ( qua blog bedoel ik), maar misschien kan ik dat in 2013 verbeteren :)
    Ik wens jou en Pieter een hele fijne Kerst en 'unne gooie roetsj' in 2013!!
    Lieve groet, Chantal

  9. Hoi Mariette,

    Ik ben meer een kringloop shopper dan outlet shopper :-) Je kaars is prachtig. Jammer dat wij de heerlijke geur niet kunnen ruiken!

    Ik wens Pieter en jou hele gezellige kerstdagen toe! Geniet ervan!

    Madelief x

  11. That is a lovely candle. Especially beautiful with the fresh greenery and berries around it. Haven't seen any fresh cranberries in the store this year, but fortunately I found some frozen so was still able to make yummy cranberry bread. Happy holidays! Tammy
