Noel

It all started with one little scripture block. It was Brad’s favorite. A small cedar block that said “noel”. In his IG post he said that it calmed him, and that it said everything that needed to be said about Christmas.

After days of thinking about this simple word, Brad had the inspiration for these candle holders. We tried them out of old mahogany that we found in the barn, but we didn’t have enough to make more than five of them. So he called our friends at Peeples Exotic Wood and Lorin found us some aromatic cedar, exactly what Brad had envisioned. There were 3 boards and Brad estimated we can make 33 of these candle holders. So we got to work.

Did you know the word Noel and a lit candle tells a wonderful story about our Savior’s birth? Our Savior was the greatest Christmas gift we will ever receive. In this year of #2020, we have had enough complications and distractions. The simplicity of this candle is a reminder of the Light of Christ, and that it still shines brightly for all of us.

❤️Sending love out to you all -Brandi

Measuring them all out. If you look down, that’s what they look like before they are put through the planer.

We decided that 2020 should be stamped into the back.
