Guest Post by My Mum: Angels at Home

[Written by my Mum]

Meike sent me the link to Monica's lovely "Angels" post. This inspired me to write about my many angels. In my house there are many little angels, not only at Christmas time. Here they are:

 

My daughter* gave me this card with a guardian angel (Schutzengel in German) when the pandemic started, together with this little golden chain. The ear studs came later, they look as if they were cut out of the pendant.

There are some more earrings my husband bought me at the Christmas market years ago:

Then there are some angels hanging over my bed, from lamps, and even in my kitchen:

In my bathroom sit 2 angels with lights inside (I bought myself), and the one laying on its tummy was a gift from my oldest friend, she made it herself:

 

 

Even my bed is protected by angels (on the bedsheets):

 

 

And last but not least this cute little angel, my daughter* made when she was 10 years old as part of this tiny nativity scene. I think it is the only such scene with an elephant. She said back then that she could not make a cow, so she made an elephant instead.

Now I wish you all a merry Christmas, and a happy and healthy New Year!

As soon as I read Monica's post about the angels in her flat, I thought of my Mum and sent her the link. It's been a while since her last guest post here on my blog, but it's not the first time she has written about angels! Her maiden name is Engel, which means angel in German, and she has always had an "angelic" affinity :-)

You can find all her guest posts under the label "Guest Posts". If you want to (re-)read the ones about angels, click here and here.

Happy 4th Advent Sunday to all of you, whatever you'll be doing today!

* not me, but my sister.
