Nativity of the day: Small but beautiful lead crystal figures. Arch was open, but the front of a notecard from a papercrafting friend added the perfect scene of the buildings of Bethlehem in the background. Keep your eyes open for the little things to add to enhance your nativities.

Nativity of the Day: Love the bright island colors and the dark skins portraying the culture of Jamaica. This was my daughter’s “last-day-of-Jamaican-vacation-FIND” to add to my collection of nativity crosses.... and from a country I did not have! Thank you, Miriam Klein!

NATIVITY OF THE DAY:
This traditional set in creamy white from Mexico recently jumped off the shelf, and fortunately landed on the carpet, breaking arms off one wiseman, scruffing the knuckles of Joseph’s left hand, and putting the stable into 4 pieces with breaks at the corners. Arms reattached easily & cleanly but stable needed more TLC & a clever coverup. Moss and fungus did the trick & almost look like flowers. I like the new look!

NATIVITY OF THE DAY:
A good eye & a little imagination is all it takes. Nativity “parts” can be found almost anywhere!! Even along the path at Robert Redford’s Sundance in Utah!! (Wisemen on left, shepherd & 2 rock sheep on right, & Holy Family in center.... in case your imagination was a little under par today). Designed by Michele Devitt, UD, Dayton, Ohio.

NATIVITY OF THE DAY:
A fragile eggshell, hand painted in this beautiful, stained glass look, was accidentally & unfortunately landed on a wood stable instead of the padded carpet that would have protected it. The main area of the design broke into many pieces and the challenge to put it back together touched my heart. Time, patience & a steady hand restored the broken pieces (as many as could be recovered). Then it reminded me that this is what God does. He creates a perfect man, but that man/woman eventually becomes cracked & broken with a piece or two missing, yet in His Time & with His Grace & Mercy & tender Love, He restores us!!! Not to perfection, but letting perhaps a small hole & a few cracks still exposed as a reminder & a visible witness to others of our Awesome God!!

NATIVITY OF THE DAY:
This rusted metal look is popular theses days, especially in Texas where humidity and heat levels can run pretty high for long periods. This one, however, I think likely was treated with something to expedite the rusting process to give it the charming “old” look of a piece with stories to tell....as indeed it does tell a wonderful story of our Savior’s nativity. A find of my daughter’s in her pre-Christmas “junking” visits to garage sales & roadside treasure shops.
