Where does the time go? The end of the year even vanishes faster than the rest of it... Do you experience the same? Anyhow, wishing you all a Happy 3rd Advent! Stay warm, cozy and safe with your loved ones. May the Angels protect you all.
Cozy with the fireplace (imitation logs with gas...) and the candles lit.
With the huge candle from our 25th wedding anniversary...
Complete with "Gewürzsträusschen" or nosegay made out of spices and tiny cones.
Typical for the Austrian and northern Italian region of Tyrol.
I tied my gilded magnolia leaves and nandina (heavenly bamboo) berries with some raffia...
Wishing you a Happy 3rd Advent!

Are you still left on a rope and in search for a unique gift? What about this Heavenly Scented Sachet & Silver Angels from silver master
Giovanni Raspini, Italy? Straight from the heart of Tuscany! That would no doubt make a unique and lovely gift! This item is available at
Spectrenoir. Only two left...
Gorgeous 925 silver Angels are climbing the rope above the tassel.
The Sachet is such a heavenly scented one, it would freshen up any drawer or room... up to the lucky owner.
In 2009, before WHITE became the rage, this was shown in the Italian Bride magazine.
They come in a very pretty and sturdy gift box; making them a regal gift.
This one has no tassels and the 925 silver angels are a little bit bigger.
Also available at
Spectrenoir and for this the same; only 2 left...
As you all know by now, I love
ROSES and ANGELS. Or CHERUBS, PUTTI, whatever you name them! Here I like to show you some beautiful pieces from Italy, by
Conrad Moroder ←click link. Neiman Marcus sold these in their catalog and I did copy that page, as I fell in love with them. You can click on Conrad Moroder's link above, for going to their website.
They reside in our living room year round—not only for Christmas...
These are large ones and quite pricey but gorgeous!
Always realizing that they are HAND carved from wood in South Tyrol, Italy during their long winter months.
Or in Austria or South Germany.
Having lived in Italy we know which area they are created, we drove through quite often.
They are also hand painted and actual 24 carat gold is being used on them as well!
Do you love them?
Hope you enjoyed this kind of museum tour through Christie's auctions.
You find such baroque style Angels | Cherubs | Putti, all over in Italy, Austria and South Germany in Churches and Cathedrals. For those of you that cannot travel I thought it is great for showing them here. Also on my Zen Cart powered on line boutique Mariette's Back to Basics, I do have some Antique Italian Angels, Cherubs, Putti... for quite a different price; see further links below.
