{Glass Christmas ROSE Ornaments from Anonymous Blogger}

We ALL love parcels in the mail don't we?
Well, especially if a sweet Blogger Friend is sending such a perfect gift!
Look here: Glass Christmas ROSE Ornaments... and all 8 of them arrived in perfect condition.
A true BLESSING in many ways.
Lavender being my favorite color, together with the teal, these glass roses made for a perfect wreath with some fresh Rosemary sprigs.
Thank you ever so much for this precious gift dear Anonymous!
Someone knowing very well about my addiction to Roses and Angels...
Took this photo outside in the last rays of sunshine.
We both went with two of our kitties to the Vet, before I could make my photos...
This LED Pillar Candle did just perfectly fit the wreath that I created with some florist wire.
Flameless candle is also kitty-safe!
I've placed them on a large 12.25 inch or 31 cm Pillivuyt serving plate.
Don't you love these colors?!
With the lavender they are also most fitting for the Advent Season.
How very thoughtful in multiple ways...

Wishing you all a blessed Advent Season!

  1. Oh, how beautiful! I love the colors and the rose shape is so pretty. A little glitter always helps, too! Blogger friends are the best!! We have an LED candle on our mantel and I love the way it looks. No worries about forgetting to blow it out, either.
    I've been meaning to stop by and let you know how happy I am that your father is out of the hospital. Such a worry, especially when you are so far away. So glad he's doing better. xo Deborah

  5. Hello Mariette, You have a remarkable ability to create these vignettes--the rosemary was an elegant touch. I also like the idea of the LED candles, as I too fear the dangers of actual candles burning. Safety, especially for children and pets, certainly comes first.
