As January flickers to a close, I’m sharing an old favourite of mine. This candle holder comes out every Christmas, to sit atop the stable and bathe my nativity scene in Starlight. Thanks so much, Becky, for a month full of radiance.
Starlight…

Roaming, at home and abroad
Pretty pretty 💕
Yes, I think so 🙂 🙂
Sublime starlight shines so gently, in every tone. 😊
An old friend given a bit of lustre 🤗💕
Interesting example how cold or warm light can really alter a picture.
Excellent.
I wanted to fade away gently. Thanks Rabirus 😊💕
Ahh how long have you had your nativity scene Jo?
Longer than I can remember, Gilly 🤗💕
Very pretty, but a sad fading. Feeling rather depressed this morning.
No don’t! Look at my 6 words. Let’s move on 🤗💕
Hard in Scotland. I wasn’t expecting Nicola to pull a rabbit out of the hat yesterday, but still …
I don’t like her but I’m sure that isn’t relevant 🤔💕
No it isn’t!
So pretty, Jo. 😍
And peaceful, Ad 🙂 🙂
Wonderful, Jo! The light and the symbolism. And, you surprised me as I expected something else when following the link to your blog post “starlight”. Happy February!
Nice to not be predictable, thanks, Liesbet. I saved this for last, and it’s surprising how many people have told me they have the same candle holder. It’s many years old. 🙂 🙂
I love the different colours.. 😉
I don’t do a lot of playing around, Lisa, but I wanted to represent a fade out with this, and it enhanced the old candle holder too. 🙂 🙂
On my own photos I do keep playing to a minimum but it’s amazing just what little tweeks can do.. 😉
I have one like that, brought back from India, but you could find them in any hippy shop in the seventies. I like the way you have played with this. Pretty candlelight.
It’s an old friend but I couldn’t begin to remember where I got it (definitely not India 🙂 ). Always part of my Christmas, it’s a bit faded now so the edit helped. Thanks, Jude!
Very nice Jo 🙂
Thanks a lot, Amy 🙂 🙂
Love this, Jo!
Thanks, Sue 🙂 🙂
😊
I like the way you created this series of photo treatments. Very fitting for the theme. 🙂 Ready to bring on February!
Thanks, Frank 🙂 🙂 Yes, tomorrow is another day!
Nice one Jo. I have similar candle holders like this.
Thanks Arlene 🤗💕
I have a similar candle holder, Jo. It’s hard to put away at the end of the season. Beautiful shots!
It’s an old, old one now, Jill. One of those things I couldn’t throw out when we made the move from England. 🙂 🙂 Thanks, darlin!
A very pretty candle holder Jo, I love the first shot 🙂
I wanted to do a gentle fade, Eunice. The second is probably nearest to the actual colour, but it’s an old candle holder 🙂 🙂
awww this is gorgeous Jo, a sign of hope and love
I played with them for ages. 🙂 🙂 Small things…
Focusing on the small is what gets us through January 😀
I agree Jo. When next with our Becky, a hug is in order please 🙂
I keep trying to persuade her but she’s a busy lady, Brian 😦 😦
I know, one day I shall surprise her 🙂
I am trying to get myself organised as i want those hugs!!!
You can have a Virtual one from me now, Becky!! And another, real one, if you’re good on the 25th Feb!!! 😄
Thank you Sue, I really need every hug I can get today so a virtual one from you is fabulous, and I promise to be good on 25th if you are 😉
Now where’s the fun in that??? 🙂
Hee hee I’m relying on Sue not being good!
😊😊
