Target always has great candles (not just during the holidays), and I was happy to see that they brought back their birch bark candles this year for fall/winter! These candles are great, and so easy to dress up!
I wrapped the candle with a fun rustic plaid ribbon and hemp twine. I added one of my rust and crystal snowflake ornaments as the center piece. I'd be thrilled to receive this as a gift, and I hope it's enjoyed by the person it's going to!
The 'peace on earth' sentiment stamp is from my unmounted set called North Pole Post.
you have made such beautiful rustic holiday items lately. way to go. they are so pretty.

Anna, I've never seen this candle, but it is PERFECT for your snowflakes! I attempted an "Anna" snowflake of my own on my JOY project on my blog if you want to take a peek.

It's so pretty Anna. I sure wish I was on your Christmas list. Your snowflakes are just gorgeous. I hope Tiny Tim didn't freeze today when the cold front moved through. Ya know, I was thinking today, I wonder if in the heat of summer his skin might not burn because his feathers are defective. My DH and I were talking about it on our first day in weeks with no children around! Poor Tiny Tim. His frazzled frizzles could really give him some grief. But, that's another season...
