Nut Case

 

 

A selection of Christmas chocolates sent by a loved one from Switzerland guarded by a papier mache Nicholas.

 

 

 

A display of nuts and red tealights arranged on a wooden platter has the feel of Christmas at the cabin somewhere in the mountains. To make the plate look a bit more elegant, group each nut by its kind.
