This adorable Holt Howard angel ornament
just seemed right with this pattern, Pfalzgraf Yorktowne. Her hood and neckerchief are deep blue— So I decided to do the entire vignette in tones of blue and ecru.

I first attached the cup to the saucer, sculpted snow drifts then affixed the angel and bottlebrush trees. I then slathered the snow drifts and trees with my own sparkly snow, a concoction I make that smoothes, secures and sparkles. Then I shower the snow in a mixture of pale blue glitter. Yes, blue snow.

There are six bottlebrush trees ranging from 3/4 of an inch to 4 inches. They are all natural sisal that have been hand snowed. One of the trees is decorated for Christmas with cobalt vintage mercury glass garland beads for ornaments. Yes, they actually made cobalt garland.

Just fun for Christmas.
