This vintage felt tree hangs in my front hallway every Christmas. I just love it! It's actually an advent calendar. If you turn the ornaments over, they are numbered 1-25. It's yet another one of my Mom's marvelous Church Christmas Bazaar finds from the late 60's/early 70's.
I mentioned in the previous post that Mr. Garden's Grandmother M. made a whole bunch of felt and sequin Christmas trees. Grandmother M. apparently loved making crafts and she often got her grandchildren involved in the process. Sadly, she passed away when Mr. Garden was quite young, so I never had the chance to meet her. I think I would have liked her a lot. 
She used green, red and white felt to make the trees. Here are pics of the green and red versions. The smaller size green trees were discovered a couple of years ago in a box at a vintage/antique store by my Mom and she knew I would give them a good home.
Hi, thanks for joining my site. What a pretty advent calendar. I made one this year using Christmas socks and mini clothes pins hung from a ribbon. I've always liked advent calendars.
ReplyDeleteLove the felt trees and the gingerbread houses! And the advent calendar is wonderful! I just love all the "old" decorations. Reminds me of when I was little. :)
