...oh silent night

...oh holy night ~

hello dear ones!

Here is what I have been working on this week:

a "rose-ary"

of course a rose has always been associated with the rosary

(hence the name!!)

but I wanted one with a little more

well,

ethereal quality to it...

this is a paper cross box

 that opens!

and can hold your most sincere prayer requests

...elegantly

a silk prayer ribbon is also within this little box,

and could be used as a bookmark

or carried along in your pocket...

at the moment,

I have mine dangling around my rear view car mirror

as what better way is there to spend being stuck in traffic

 than talking to God??? 

the rosary and the prayer ribbons can be found here

now I must be off to whip up a batch of these

springerle cookies

A most lovely white cookie

with the faintest flavor of anise.

My dearest mom adores them so these are for her:) 

This swaddled baby Jesus is the cookie mold that I use.

~ and when they are done,

I brush the tops with edible golden powder!

oh-so-lovely

they are just the right size to hold in your hand

and enjoy with a cup of tea

...in the silent night.

I will be sharing this post over at Debra's

Vintage Inspiration Friday

come see all the holiday cheer!

here's to silent nights!
