Purple is the advent-color, and I\u00b4ve mixed it with browns and reds. Using edibles like red cabbage, red onions, walnuts, chilies, cinnamon-sticks and granade-apples(?) I made this table-decoration. One of the candles has a vanilla-scent, so it even smells good!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13077\" title=\"_MG_2236\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/MG_2236.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"339\"><\/p>\n<p>I know, I know, there are only three candles, not four, but a little artistic freedom is allowed, isn\u00b4t it?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13080\" title=\"_MG_2242\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/MG_2242.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"223\"><\/p>\n<p>And as the days grow ever darker outside, we got lots more light inside yesterday.
