...o come, let us adore Him!

...hello my sweet friends!

~

Today's post is entitled:

 

do you remember me speaking of making these

springerle cookies

in this post,

using this cookie mold??

well

here is the end result  ~

I wish you could see these with your own eyes ~

as you cannot capture their true beauty!

  

I dusted them all with gold powder

that shimmers ever so slightly!

and gave them each a crown of stars...

and let me tell you,

that they smell 

~ heavenly ~

This is the top of my cookie box...

I spray painted over a piece of lace

and then added the pearl letters to spell out

"O come, Let us adore Him"

  

here they are

all nestled within!!

I also made a few linen bags

to tuck a few of these very special cookies into...

I really like how they turned out:)

I gave each fabric ex-voto heart,

a silk ruffle

and studded these with austrian crystals!

They rest atop of an enclosed lace pocket

filled with lavender!

So long after these cookies are gone

the receiver will have a lovely

treasure pouch to place something inside! 

busy, busy, busy in Santa's workshop I tell ya'!!

I will be sharing these

beautiful white cookies

over at Kathleen's

for this weeks White Wednesday!

Come by for a visit and see what other pretties are there.

I hope so far, your holiday fa la la's have been happy!

~ see you soon! 

here's to edible sparkle powder and glitter stars!!

...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!
