My White And Gold Nativity And A Manger Scene You Won't Forget

I saw this set several years ago

at Sam's Club of all places.

It was exactly what I had been looking for.

I set it up on top of a display case in our foyer.

I put down a strand of white lights,

then cover it with "snow" batting.

Then I wind a soft white feathery boa  through it.

When any air moves at all the feathery boa

moves and it looks like a living, breathing scene

The lithograph above it is one my father had

when he set up housekeeping in the early 1920's.

Each piece is quite beautiful for a 

mass produced product.

I love how it looks at night with the soft white under lighting.

MyHero's Grandmother Clara 

had a set quite like this

that she told me would be mine someday.

Somehow it got lost 

when they sold her home in Florida.

This is not the quality that her set was 

but it still reminds

me of the nativity she so treasured.

Now that you have seen some beautiful pieces

I want to show you another beaut!

I know you will love this!

This is set up in a yard on the way to 

the girls' school.

Ummmm... Do you love that it is made out of 

STOLEN ROADSIDE SIGNS?

And Oh!  For the love of all that is Holy
WHERE is Mary, Joseph & Baby Jesus?

Perhaps they haven't stolen those pieces yet....
