As part of our holiday celebrations at Nicola’s Homes, I have decided to post 25 days of gift ideas from the boutique—our Advent Calendar 2010. If you wish to purchase any item(s) from our 2010 Advent Collection, please phone us for payment and shipping information at (207) 899-3218.
Now is your chance to put the finishing touches on your home holiday decor with some truly standout pieces. Now through January 1, you’ll find 30 – 50% discounts on all of our distinctive holiday decorations, tree trimmings and more! And many of these exceptional ornaments will transition beautifully from the holidays into everyday accents. These winsome paper flowers are a perfect example. Ivory paper printed in script is fashioned into leaves and blossoms—some with irresistible pinked edges—and twisted onto versatile sticks of wire, as if by a lovesick suitor. I have used these paper flowers with vintage Victorian angels and fresh flowers alike; they would make an enchanting door wreath, a lovely desktop decoration or a sweet Valentine detail.
Woodland creatures are so popular this holiday, and these handcrafted ornaments make it easy to see why. The fluffy white owl is my personal favorite, but the brush moose and felt deer are also too cute for words. Tuck away the tiny clip-on birds deep in the boughs and task little ones with finding them! Sparkling pine cones finish out this forest scene perfectly. Once again, these friendly creatures would be perfectly at home tied to the bow of a birthday gift or hanging in a baby’s room—I want to try crafting a crib mobile with them, myself!
