There is something wonderfully peaceful about this ornament.

Designed by renowned nature artist Marjolein Bastin, “Country Home” captures a quiet moment from the natural world—a tiny birdhouse tucked beneath a rustic thatched roof while a small songbird gathers greenery nearby. The intricate details give this piece the appearance of a hand-carved woodland treasure, making it just as beautiful displayed year-round as it is on a Christmas tree.

This 1998 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament comes from the beloved Nature’s Sketchbook collection and includes the original box. The soft colors, natural textures, and cottage-inspired design make it especially appealing to bird lovers, gardeners, nature enthusiasts, and collectors of Marjolein Bastin artwork.

Condition:

• Ornament is in excellent pre-owned condition

• Original Hallmark box included

• Box shows light shelf/storage wear consistent with age (see photos)

• Ribbon hanger intact

Whether displayed on a holiday tree, tucked into a seasonal centerpiece, or gifted to someone who treasures backyard birds and nature’s simple beauty, this charming piece brings warmth and tranquility wherever it is placed.
