Christmas is all about family, friends, church and community. Seeing loved ones who live far away and reconnecting with those who are nearby, but we don't see as often as we wish we could. It's about caring for those who are alone at this time of year and inviting them to be part of our families too. Working with our communities to bring Christmas cheer to those in need, is such a special part of our Christmas tradition.
Christmas is about time spent sitting around the fire, enjoying the warmth of the season. It is hot cocoa or our favorite tea, sipped from our favorite vintage holiday cups. Working on new stitching projects for someone we love, while telling stories from the past year and our hopes for the year to come. We're thankful for those we will share it with.
It's about planning cookie swaps and holiday menus. Yankee swaps and prizes that bring a little extra element of excitement to young and old alike. Christmas is about searching for gifts that we're sure everyone on our Christmas list will love. We're filled with excitement when we find that perfect item for someone on our list, and we feel a little giddy at the thought of them opening our gift on Christmas morning. The Ultimate gift for someone special is no longer elusive. With a love of repurposed and well loved gifts from the past, our choices become easier and more personal; our treasure hunt memorable.
friday 12-4Under the sparkling lights of the Christmas tree shines gift wrap that's almost as pretty as the gifts inside. Some gifts are wrapped in vintage linens and held closed by a vintage rhinestone brooch. Others are tied with velvet ribbons and big bows. Each gift bears a handmade gift tag, twinkling with glitter and the name of someone you love. The sense of anticipation we feel looking at those Christmas treasures is almost as exciting as watching the gifts being opened.
Christmas is all about sharing the blessings of the season with family and friends and believing that everything about the Christmas season is magical.
