I was going to share this little treasure with you a year ago and then it totally slipped my mind until today. I had found this tarnished piece at a church sale one weekend and just fell in love with it. As far as I can tell it is a little candle stand/holder for a little tea light and I am thinking of what I could maybe turn it into.
Take a look ... it is a hexagon and each side is a different little Winter/Christmas scene and one is as lovely as the other.
Some of the scenes remind me of an old Disney cartoon. It is called 'Once upon a Winter time". A young couple goes out on a sleigh ride and head to a lake where they go skating and then something bad almost happens but in the end it is a happy end and they ride off home all happy and in love. A lovely classic cartoon.
At times I have quite a few new ideas or a few new treasure and some of them get just lost until they are re-found, created or shared with you here on Todolwen and I am sure this will not be the last one of them.
And last but not least ...

All cards are written and now christmas can come ;-)!
That's such a beautiful little piece - if it were mine, I think I would take it apart so that you could use each scene as the basis for a new creation. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
