In an effort to notice more of the ordinary in my life, I have decided to share what I have noticed this week in Take Three Thursday. The idea is to take 1 - 3 photos that are linked some how; by theme, by colour, by date, by moment, by points of view. There is no formal link in but please feel free to join in. What have you noticed this week?
Please have a peek at what others have found this week:

This is my threesome & my #19 - A Carved Object; a nativity scene-the pieces are carved from solid pieces of tree - although Mary & Joseph's hands were separate pieces that were attached with wood pegs.
I'm off to a really slow start with my search for the items on the list. Maybe now that the Christmas holidays are done, I'll have more time to focus on the list. I do hope you join in with the fun of both the WPSH & Take Three Thursday.
What intricate carving, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what some people can do with a hunk of tree trunk - what a gift that they see it as something more.
DeleteOh, what a lovely nativity & amazing that they're each carved from a single piece.
ReplyDeleteI found myself drawn back to have another inspection of it - normally we just drive by & I think oh that looks nice.
DeleteThat's a gorgeous nativity scene! I love the happy expressions on their faces.
ReplyDeleteSeeing it close up gives such a sense of the skill required to make out of one piece of wood. I think Joseph is certainly grinning "yeah he's in my care".
DeleteBeautiful crib pieces! Any idea how old they are? Such skill in the carving.
ReplyDeleteFunny ask about how old, I did quite a search for carvers initials & date, I found nothing on the actual pieces. I think under 5 years old - we often drive past this church & I think this is only the second year I have seen outside - mind you it was the first time we went into the grounds to take photos.
DeleteThese are so beautifully and intricately carved - and so large, too. That's a wonderful thing to have outside a church at this time of year ... (My three things also feature carving!).
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in Alexa, I've added you to the list. Your three are very interesting. Those carvings certainly tell a tale - that "man" is quite a large piece but I would say the post of shells is a favourite.
DeleteYou may be off to a slow start, but you're ahead of me! I hope I haven't missed some opportunities over the holidays. This is a beautiful nativity set!
ReplyDeleteI was sorting through my Christmas/December photos & I noticed I do have a few that work for WPSH (yeah). Hope you enjoy your visit in Chicago & who knows what you'll find there :)
DeleteThat's a beautiful nativity scene, perfect for the Hunt.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm starting to move a little faster into the WPSH.
DeleteBeautiful carvings and a great start to the hunt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen. I carry the list with me in my purse or in the car.
DeleteThose are lovely carvings! Thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome & thanks for popping by here. I so admire the skill & talent to make this nativity set.
DeleteOh that's a lovely carving. I've not done anything with my list either! Although I saw a horse today... on tv :)
