A Tarnished Christmas Treasure ..

Hello my dear friends,

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 ...

... if you love fabric and especially if it is Christmassy, then there is time to enter your name to my latest giveaway.

  3. 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!
