Christmas Carols book ornament
Aren't these little books just DARLING?
This Christmas ornaments from Papuan Lass are pocket-sized books. The hard cover is made to look like an aged, leather-bound, antique book with cracks and worn spots on the leather.

The "Christmas Carols" ornament features 18 carols, all traditional nativity carols and all legible.

I tried clicking on it again myself, and I didn't find the error message you saw. So I'm not sure what went wrong for you.
Perhaps if you are able to try again, it will work for you now. But if not, please drop your link in the comments area (and I can add it to the linky for you).

Oh, what darling ornaments!! I also just adore the Narnia Lamp Post - Christmas Scroll Ornament. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to read Letters from Father Christmas by J. R. R. Tolkien and A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I posted a bit about joining the challenge here on my blog just now. Thanks for hosting this! Should be fun.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of "A Miser. A Manger. A Miracle."....I'm guessing it's about the inn-keeper.
ReplyDeleteIt appears I'm right! And I'm curious...I just might try this one out.:D
@Risa, yep, you're right! I'm reading that one right now in fact, and it's pretty cool so far. :) Thanks for taking part in the link-up!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get over ten books for the Christmas challenge. So far I've decided on:
ReplyDelete"How it Happened" by Kate Langley Bosher (vintage classic)
"An Endless Christmas" by Cynthia Ruchti
"One Enchanted Eve" by Melissa Tagg
"High Stakes Holiday Reunion" by Christy Barritt
@Tarissa I'm glad you're liking it. Makes me less apprehensive about giving it a shot!
ReplyDeleteAnd really, thank you for hosting this. :)
