In the Loft Giveaway (Let’s get ready for Advent!)


Today’s giveaway is from Sue, the artist behind In the Loft.  She creates beautiful hand-painted figures.  Advent begins on November 29th this year, and her figures are perfect to help families with their Advent Journey!  You can add saints to your prayer table, or “Little Oratory” as we travel through the weeks.

In Sue’s words: “I paint everyday…a good balance of items for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd programs and figures for helping families celebrate the Liturgical feasts. My Saint figures have become very popular for giving as gifts for any occasion. Perhaps tucked into a child’s stocking!”

(Our Lady of Guadalupe)

(Mary the Immaculate Conception)

(Saint Innocent)

(Saint Andrew, Saint Nicholas, Saint Lucy)

  3. Wow — how beautiful! I especially appreciate seeing these because I recently painted some peg dolls for an exchange. I am at least a little bit artistic, but apparently NOT with a paintbrush in my hand! I am so impressed. God bless you!

  7. oh my goodness, yes!

    I own over 100 nativity sets from around the world (long story) but do not have any from the states.

    so lovely. thank you for the chance to win one.

  10. What a beautiful piece! My children would love to add this to our prayer table during Advent. Thank you for the opportunity!

  16. Gorgeous! I hope I win this one as I don’t have a Nativity set. Miss terribly having one last year!

  18. Gorgeous! The Mary + Joseph set would be actually a perfect gift for my little Phoebe girl who loves that bible story best of all and is always acting out Mary’s part. Thanks for the chance to win!

  20. These are beautiful – Mary and Joseph journeying to Bethlehem is my favourite of these sets – having them travel through Advent until Christmas morning would be lovely way to help a family prepare for the celebration of Jesus birth.

  26. What a beautiful gift to make such special works of art. The set would be wonderful for advent. Thanks for the chance!

  38. What a beautiful set! I love the idea of having a pregnant Mary being guided by St. Joseph in our Advent display!

  42. What an amazing gift of talent you have been given. I do hope I win this set! Just gorgeous! 🙂
