Pilgrims' Daughter

“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." Matthew 10:27-31

Channeling my inner Italian: a Fontanini nativity

My Christmas present this year is a Fontanini Italian stable and Holy Family. By 'coincidence' my twin sister decided to get one this year too. We seem to read each other's minds alot and end up doing the same things without knowing it ahead of time. I've been getting in touch with my Italian side lately and enjoying the distinctive artistry of the country of my mother's ancestors.

Moonshadow said...: A classic.

When I was shopping for a nativity, I had to have the same set as my parents. Nothing else would do. Impossible, right? Not at all. That's what's so great about a classic.

And so my kids play with it the same way I did. That's the best part.

Mine's resin - is yours something else? Seems to shine more.; 9:48 PM, December 29, 2011
Jennie said...: They're made of polyresin; probably the same thing as yours. It's not hard like ceramic, but kind of like hard rubber. So the kids can play with it, which is really good.

Hope you had a good Christmas, and have a happy New Year! :); 11:19 PM, December 31, 2011
