Yesterday we lit the second candle on our Advent arrangement. Candles give such lovely light when the skies are grey and it's raining. They make even the gloomiest of days seem a bit less so. And though I know this post is at least ten days too late I had to share this image of our quick and easy simple little Advent arrangement with the world. Big Daughter and I collected these little pine cones a few weeks ago, but we planned to make an arrangement with lots of greenery. However on Saturday before the first Sunday of Advent I realized I didn't have any time or greenery to make it. So I asked Big Daughter to help me make it with some hazelnuts and walnuts we had. She was so excited. I gave her a little cake tray, candles and nuts and she arranged them. I just helped a bit (some cones kept falling off the tray). When it was all arranged she said we needed one more thing. She went out of the room and came back with a ribbon from my stash and told me to tie it around the candles. I obeyed. She looked at it and said: Now it's perfect!
We really love our simple candle arrangement because it was so quick and easy to make, it's so simple and I love it because it turned out to be a nice Christmas craft for my Big Daughter and me :)
So, enjoy your grey winter days with the warm glow of candlelights, but do not leave your candles burning if you leave the room!
