Today, we light two candles on our Advent Wreath
and celebrate in anticipation of Christ's birth on Christmas Eve.
This is what's called a "bunte Teller" meaning a colorful plate, a typical gift from St. Nikolaus if you were good as it is St. Nikolaus Tag in Germany and other European countries. I trust most children got some tasty treats on their plates or in their shoes, but I bet there also will be some very scared (probably) little boys vowing to do better next year. (Read my previous post for details.)
I also finally finished crocheting this pretty shawl and hat ensemble that would be perfect to wear with a little black dress on New Year's Eve. It's made from Patons' Devine mohair blend yarn in halo blue and I must tell you, the photos do not do it justice. This lovely set feels light as a feather - it's like touching a bunny rabbit...so light and airy and the color reminds me of a cloud...and you can barely feel the hat on your head.
