So from my cottage to yours, a wee little "cottage" ornament, complete with 'smoke' coming out of the chimney to chase away winter's chill...
... and two mini pots filled with pinecones and berry boughs, as well as the cranberry & cream toile scalloped placemat they're sitting on...
Last year I posted about three nativity sets I own, the most special being the one that belonged to my mom. The two others are vintage sets found while thrifting, both with white figurines (perfect for our little cottage!)... While out shopping with hubby last weekend, I spotted these brand new nativity figurines and it was love at first sight! I quickly grabbed a set for myself and then immediately thought what a lovely Christmas giveaway they would make for one of you, so I picked up a second set!
Now I have to be honest, this is not an expensive set at all, but I thought it was charming and I hope you do, too! (This, and all of my giveaway items were purchased at The Christmas Tree Shop.)
The figurines are actually part of a kit. You can choose to be as creative as you'd like by painting the figures (a small selection of paints is included in the kit), or you could antique or glaze them.... Let your imagination go wild! (Of course I'm going to leave mine white... Is anyone really surprised by that?............ I didn't think so!)
So just leave a comment on this post if you'd like a chance to win my Christmas giveaway! The contest ends at midnight, EST, Monday, November 23rd and I'll announce the winner on Tuesday, one week from today. (That way I might even be able to get it in the mail on Wednesday!)
Again, you'll receive the box/kit of white nativity figures, the two little pine bough pots, the cranberry & cream scalloped placemat, and the little cottage ornament.
Good luck and happy decorating to those who start early!!!!

That is QUITE a giveaway! How generous and fun! I love the little house, I just want to move right into it!
What a sweet giveaway. I would love a chance to win these darling little Christmas things. I will admit that I have already put up some Christmas lights in my house. It was so stormy here last Saturday I just decided to do it a bit early...but I haven't lit them yet....at least not very often.
Oh, you know you can count me in! What a nice group of things for the holidays! Thanks, my friend!

Oh count me in, Donna! Thanks! I'm so ready for the Christmas fun to begin! ♥
Hi Donna,
I love the little Nativity group and I do think white is perfect for it. I will be going to the Christmas Tree Shoppe on Friday but I am afraid my kids will not want me to buy the set because I am a Christmas "nut" and already need to build on 2 more rooms for my Christmas collections, maybe I can give something away so I can get one of these. In fact, maybe I will buy one for a gift [and if I don't win this one, they can give me the one I will buy!!!! My House On The Hill site has s tiny bit of what I have collected on it...can't seem to stop
What a sweet little nativity set. The ornament is a tiny little replica of the bigger paper houses that I love. Someday I'm gonna spring for a whole little village for my buffet display.
How wonderful your giveaways are...I hope I get it this time around! But, good luck to all.
what a beautiful giveaway. i would be tickled to win. my parents had a lovely white nativity we put out every year and i have never been able to find one1!

Hi Donna
Catching up on posts today! Love your little giveaway ~ Thank you. Noticed the Good Dog. Stay book on your sidebar beside this post - it brought back memories of going to the library looking for it knowing that Ben was not well. Hard to believe that was 14 months ago. We are adopting a senior lab (due to arrive from Quebec this weekend) ♥
What a nice giveaway. Always enjoy reading your site.
My, what a lovely blog :)
Enjoyed my visit very much and can't wait to visit again.
such a nice giveaway. I'd leave mine white also...

I would love to win the give away, I have not seen anything like the nativity that can be painted. That is so nice.
You have some nice ideas, love your site.
