ShaydDeGrai Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 For this year's Expand the Winter Village Contest, I humbly offer the Conservatory, Florist and Garland Shoppe, home of Heather the Holiday Elf On the rim of Santa's Village, Amid the ice and snow, There stands a small oasis Where trees and flowers grow. A green thumbed little elf, Named Heather, minds the stalls, And tends the firs and flowers, That decorate the halls. Pointsetta, ameryllis, And springs of mistletoe, The holy and the ivy, And christmas cacti grow. And other elves, they help her Prepare for holidays, With grand trees fit for trimming And bouquets that amaze. They make the wreaths and garlands That decorate the land And boldly state for all to see That Yuletide is at hand So in that dark of winter, Let Heather set the scene; May your New Year bloom with life renewed And your christmas ever green. Thank you for your consideration (and please forgive my feeble attempt at poetry) Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Very nice entry 'ShaydDeGrai'......good luck and Brick On ! Quote
LAKAbricks Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Very interesting MOC, ShaydDeGrai. First detail to catch my eye was the big wreath on the roof, above the door. Then the smart use of The One Ring to... top them all... And then finally the fantastic SNOT'ed door. Great work Quote
Withacee Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I love it; a great and original theme. The sand green works well, too. It would also be interesting to see it with transparent clear windows, in stead of transparent blue. Quote
Leopold Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Unique idea. I wouldn't have thought of this one. Nice build! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 "And christmas cacti grow" ?? Well this sounds strange, but the MOC is good. Christmas Tree embedded in the entrace is noted! And the sand green trees are also innovative. Brick on! Quote
bitbang Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I enjoyed this. The color palette is nice and you picked some good pieces for it. It is simple but has enough going on to stand out. Quote
sunhuntin Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 amazing details. the wreath caught me first, with the inner multi-arm star shape. then the rings on the pillars, followed by the door. i think the door is my favourite part. and your poem was awesome, very creative! Quote
Robert8 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Omg that door is precious! And the christmas crown is beautiful. Pretty unique and original idea! Congratulations! Quote
