Eye Candy Friday: The Stars

10 Point Star Light

I know I had shown photos earlier of the star we hung in our window this past holiday season. It was a nice green one with a creamy yellow print on it. It has and will serve us well (once I shore up the folds with some tape). However, when we were in Willmar over the holidays we stopped in at a great Scandinavian store downtown called House of Jacobs. Two of the items we purchased there were the stars in the photos above. These are wooden and will continue to serve us for many more years than the paper one I’m sure.

Now, St. Knut’s day is gone so even the Scandinavians agree that the holidays are over. However, we decided to hang these wooden stars through more of the winter. It is a nice reminder of longer and warmer days to come and helps keep the house from seeming quite so bare after the removal of the other holiday decorations.

I think we (us Europeans and European-decendants) should really get into Chinese New Year to help give February a bit of a lift! And thanks for the letter “H” - I’m working on it!

I’m Norwegian (born and bred) but live in the UK now. I’ve never heard of St Knuts Day. What is it? my grandfathers name was Knut. It’s a traditional Norwegian name.

How great! Stars remind me of winter, and it is a long way from over. Thanks.

I love your stars. I’m sure that you’ll enjoy them for many years to come.

Thanks for the letter, it’s a challenging one for me.

Beautiful. I don’t think I’d want to take them down all winter.

These stars are so lovely! I went to the website for the House of Jacobs, but didn’t see them listed. I also googled wooden Scandinavian star lamps, and variations on that theme, to no avail. Do you know of a commercial source? Thanks!

Those stars are so gorgeous, and your photos as usual are beautiful! I think I’ll have to subscribe to the RSS feed for your photo pool.
