Advent Ends :: Christmas Begins


I bought (or traded for) this green wire tree from Leah last year sometime.  I may have actually paid her cash for it :)  We've been known to trade though which I love to do.  She loves it too.  You could say, "Hey, Leah I'd trade you  for one of those awesome trunks with which you built your awesome tree!"  "To which she may say, "Sure, do you have an extra fruitcake?"  funny, I am.


Anyway....back to the tree project. Keeping predominantly red and green in mind,  I dug out a couple of old magazines,


some vintage flash cards,


vintage fabric scraps, stamps,


a few vintage greeting cards from an old scrapbook I bought at an auction,


a few pieces of red and green vintage jewelry pieces,


a bunch of well aged clothes pins,


wrapping paper,


And clipped them all on with the help of my daughter.


I am praying for a blessed Christmas season for all of you.  
May you find joy where it's unexpected.
Merry Christmas!

    when I started reading...I thought, "well, that's a cool tree...what is that? wire? metal? does it spin?" and then. I realized what tree it was!

    love ALL the vintage doo dads and what nots!

    Merry Christmas, Kindred!

  4. merry christmas. I have seen a few of those in blogland and I really like them. I think I would hang bits of pine branches and tags along with seashells and starfish from mine. I love those crosses hanging in the corner of your room.
