I almost missed writing about this adorable White Woodland Nativity Set by Jim Shore, and it would have been a real shame if I had. Jim Shore nativity sets and figurines are a very popular choice, and this set, in particular, should not be overlooked.

Made of medium-density fiberboard and durable stone resin, each figurine is molded from the original pieces masterfully carved by Jim’s creative hands.

Each piece of the set is lovingly hand-painted. The lovely light ivory and warm grey tones throughout this set lend a calming air of serenity.

I love its folk-art design. It makes me chuckle to see that the usual animals seen in most nativity sets have been replaced by woodland creatures. The raccoon especially looks like he would like to look upon Baby Jesus.

I feel like the neutral tones found in this beautifully sculpted nativity set would work well in any decorating scheme, but it would do especially well against darker colors.
