After planting a lot of spring bulbs this weekend:
- allium
- tulips ~ red & yellow
- daffodils
- narcissus
I grabbed a basket and gathered some pine boughs,
and took some clippings for my Advent candle arrangement.
As in past years, I used this old bread tin,
some floral oasis to hold the candles,
and tucked the pine in around them.
Every night we light the candle(s)at dinner
time ~ a tradition I have come to love.

ideas for children,

So simple and yet so very pretty. If I can find an old tin I may just have to copy this idea. Hope you don't mind but it would be a great tradition for our family.
ReplyDeleteI love your advent candles! Celerating advent is one of our favorite traditions:>)
ReplyDeletehi deb....love the pattern on the bread tin!
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty! I love the simplicity of it.
ReplyDeleteI have a cake pan with the same pattern. :-)
Sometimes simple is best... this is one of those times.
ReplyDeleteYour Advent candles are so lovely. May you have a blessed Advent season.
ReplyDeleteI just love the simplicity of your advent candles. Hope you believe that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery--I'm running out right now to copy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and simple — you have such wonderful ideas!
ReplyDeleteDeb...your photo of the bread pan and greens brought me back to my childhood. My mother would bake bread in the same exact bread pan!! Thanks for the memories!

I can't take credit for the idea-I saw it some years ago on a Scandinavian blog. Enjoy!

I saw the idea a couple years ago on a Scandinavian blog. I used to make a pine wreath with the candles, but when I'm pressed for time this one is very simple.
