I have the Nativity set from my parents house that is 52 years old! It doesn't have any markings on it so I do not know where it came from. Jacob has his own Nativity it is smaller in scale and everything is attached. He used to put up a little tree in his bedroom and he would place his own under his tree. Now he has it on his nightstand.

My favorite is a larger version that is just Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. It looks like Lladro, but it is really just a set I got at Costco about 10 years ago. I wish there were more pieces, but I bought some similar looking angels to set around it that make them look like they are adoring the Savior. This nativity set is my favorite Christmas decoration that I set out each year. <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Linda<BR/>linda_oneal@yahoo.com<BR/>http://jesusandbaseball.blogspot.com<BR/>http://lindacarolineathome.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710536558179593480.post-39516338112069747402008-12-09T18:16:00.000-05:002008-12-09T18:16:00.000-05:00Hi Carrie,I'm going to join in for the giveaway to...Hi Carrie,<BR/>I'm going to join in for the giveaway too!

So many pretties to see!<BR/><BR/>I have a number of angel ornaments that I use on a tree together. There are a dozen or so small angels busts in gold, and then I have these paper Victorian angels that are embossed in gold that look like they flew off a Victorian tree. I bought these lighter weight ones because we used to get a white pine which has very wispy limbs, and they were the right weight for that type of tree. I also love angels, and I have gold crosses which go with them. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for this lovely contest,<BR/><BR/>Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710536558179593480.post-65033520433510846372008-12-05T17:16:00.000-05:002008-12-05T17:16:00.000-05:00Thanks for the note via private email.
