A Tiny Tree ...


Hello my dear friends,

My newest creation that I am sharing with you today is another matchbox creation and because of the approaching most beautiful time of the year of course the theme is Christmas.
 
 I wanted this creation to be very special so I decided to decorate a tiny Christmas tree with Swarowski Crystals that are set in little silver stars ~ not too many only a few and with it glistening glitter just as if it was kissed by the little frost fairies.

The match box is covered with a piece of a lovely old German book page and embellished with little pine cones,  tiny jingle bells and another little silver star ~ the twin of the tree topper and this too ever so slightly dusted with glistening glitter.

And here it is my magical little matchbox creation.

I hope it will bring a little bit of joy to you...


 'A Tiny Tree'
 





 
'A tiny tree all sparkling and bright with stars from heaven glistening with light'.
~Karen Bailey~
 



I hope you have enjoyed my 'tiny' creation as much as I have enjoyed making it.

Visit me sometime here at Todolwen again ~ it would be so nice to see you.


I hope you are well and life is treating you kind my dear friends.

Have a peaceful and creative day,


Karen B.

    This is so precious! I love the pinecone on top of the matchbox...it looks like a sparkly rose. The tree is so sweet and I think the quote that you used is absolutely perfect!

    Karen,
    It looks so sweet and fun. It reminds me of when I was little and always wanted to have a tiny elf friend. I watched "The Gnome Mobile" as a child and I was sure my little glass Christmas elf ornament would turn into a real elf! This would have been a perfect tree for he and I!
    Thanks you for sharing. I have been reluctant to use my german books in things....but That lettering is so beautiful, I think I will just do it!
    Hearts,
    Betsy
