advent candles...


please excuse the quality of the photos,
it is a very overcast day with the tiniest of snowfall,
but I wanted to share something with you before it gets packed up for the show.



I just knew those wooden boxes that I bought last year at a garage sale 
would come in handy!

One candle for each week of Advent,
not your typical Advent wreath but
I'm not that typical either!

(or at least I like to think I'm not!)

Happy Wednesday... 
I need to get ready for work now, 
gotta see if I can shake all of the glitter off of me!

love,
Theresa xoxo

    I'm a big fan of non-typical! No wonder I love your blog so much!! I've looked for years for an Advent I like and this is the most unique one I've seen! The candles are perfect, the images and the music sheets compliment each other so well. It's really wonderful!
