Flickering candles
Illuminating prayers
But made in China
Posted to the Advent Wreath Link-up hosted at CatholicMom.com.
Beautiful, even if made in China.
Thank you!
Oh, and you’re going to linkup with CM, too, right? :)
My advent wreath story: ours was part of the goods stolen in February. So, our insurance replaced it (with an actual wreath) – but it’s even better than the one we had. I *assumed* it came with candles. When I realized it didn’t, I hit the local Catholic-Christian bookstore on Saturday – only to find they are all out. So…Target has lavender scented tea lights. …we have no pink “joy” candle…but, we have candles, and that is close enough for this year. :)
Well that’s a hidden blessing, huh? I neglected to purchase Advent candles, too, and found some at Bed Bath & Beyond. I was surprised to see they had a nice selection of Advent-specific candles. And I put a 20% coupon to good use! You should blog & linkup to CM, too!
I love special wreaths like these. I’ve been keeping my eye out for just the right one but haven’t found it yet. I like the carvings and quote on yours. Where did you find it? (Even if it is made in china) I think it would be really cool to get a custom-carved one somehow…
I found it through the gift shop at Conception Abbey. I did not pay this much for it, though. I found an online coupon during the off season. Here’s the link: http://www.printeryhouse.org/ProdPage.asp?Prod=G1880
We make a big deal of the Christmas decorations and festivities. BUT WHAT IS THE YARDSTICK TO MEASURE OURSELVES AND SEE WHETHER WE ARE REALLY CHRISTIANS?
Cute haiku, beautiful wreath!
That’s a lovely wreath! Thanks for sharing. :-)
