The set was my mom's and is from Avon. I do have the rest of Joseph's staff. Maybe I should get around to gluing it back on.
The house (inn) and the bottle brush trees are from the Martha Stewart collection at Grandin Road.
I purchased them last season for 75% off!! The trees were in a set of three as were the houses. They were dirt-cheap people!
Epsom salt provides for a snowy scene.
Where is baby Jesus you may ask?
It is a tradition in my family to not put out baby Jesus until midnight because he isn't "born" yet.
My youngest niece gets the honor.

lifts Earth to Heaven,
stoops Heaven to Earth."

I thought you were going to say you lost Baby Jesus! I have a cute little set from Avon...it is Precious Moments set... it is more for a child..but I love it... I have had it for about 8 years... but I can't find Baby Jesus... so sad!
These are very sweet. I like it when people put in the effort for Christmas!

That is the cutest tradition ever!! I would have never thought of that.
Martha Stewart collection? I had no idea!! I so have to check it out!
What a sweet nativity scene...my family has the same tradition. Baby Jesus is placed Christmas eve and not a day before. Best, Cat
