Three or More Tuesday #6

Time for Three or More Tuesday again.
Thank you Tam over the The Gypsy's Corner for hosting for us every week.
With it being Lent right now, I thought it would be neat to show you our collection of crosses.
All of these crosses were gifts to us.
I diplay them on the narrow wall between our two large windows in the living room.
First I will show you my collage I created showing all 5 of them.
Purple is the color of Lent so I chose purple background in the collage.

This is the marriage cross. It was given to us as a wedding gift 29 1/2 years ago.

This one was also given to us as a wedding gift.
I love this one.

My husband brother gave us this one a year or two ago for Christmas.
Isn't it a pretty one?
With the grapevines, it is appropriate for where we live in the Wine Country.
The other two in the collage were also gifts.
I think hubby's brother also gave us the simple gold one.
And the nail one I think was mine before we were married.
They all hang vertically on the narrow wall space and
we see it everytime we walk into the living room.
Happy Three or More Tuesday!!
Oh and Happy St. Patrick's Day too!

Good morning Linnea! What a great 3 or more. I was thinking it would be fun to have a cross posting day during "Holy Week" I really like the abiding one...

Good Morning Linnea! Love that collection of crosses, especially the silver one with the scrolling ivy.
I thought of you this morning. I'm getting ready to head to my ENT & Audiologist for my check up and hearing test and I wondered if you hate hearing tests as much as I do. It's such a reminder of what I've lost. Bah! Don't worry, I continue to focus on what remains and the blessing of an increased sensation of touch and smell, lol!

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Happy St Patrick's Day! ~ Susan

Dear Linnea, Your crosses are just lovely and each one so special. Don't you get a warm feeling when you walk into a home that has a cross? Your crosses are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Linnea those crosses are so beautiful! What a collection. Okay, I feel dumb. Everytime I came to your site I kept seeing the Stella chronicles and kept thinking you didn't update your site...gawd, now I need to catch up! Yes! that is the same fabric that I made Stella's dress out of. :)

Gypsy aka Tam said...

Linnea,

Have a wonderful evening,
Tam
