Nativity in Niche - 2018
This Nativity was my first one, the one that started my
Nativity collection:
I've had it since the late 60s.
It was given to me by my Aunt Catherine,
a favorite aunt.
The figurines are ceramic, I don't know
who actually made them.
Joseph is 10 inches tall
Mary is 9 inches tall
Baby Jesus' manger is 6 inches long
Every year I display the Nativity set in this niche
between the dining room and family room
The decor of it is different each year.
The decor of it is different each year.
Below is this year's display:
I used an old piece of lace to go with
the cream colored theme this year.
I bought the capiz shell "flowers" at Pier 1 last spring.
I had planned to show all of the different ways I have decorated it each year, but ran into difficulty because I couldn't find a picture of each year. I know I took pictures, but lost or misplaced a lot of pictures when we switched over to a new computer. I will show the pictures I found, but have forgotten which year goes with each picture.
I have decorated it differently for 18 years now.
Below is last year's display, using white poinsettias:
2017
Nativity display - 2016
I used maroon velvet fabric with red poinsettias.
A few of Joe's childhood animals from his Nativity
are also used with this one.
2018 has the old lace
I really like this one using faux roses:
The old family bible is over 100 years old.
Another display with roses used differently:
This one has holly:
The niche has an overhead light:
This one has a green velvet cloth:
With white and gold poinsettias
Another year with green and gold:
A different green cloth:
This one I used a crocheted tablecloth:
The long shot view:
The angel that hangs above:
This was one of my first displays:
The wall (above) looks pink, but it's a berry color
Which is your favorite?
Merry Christmas!
