I can't believe this is the last WOYWW before Christmas!
Where does that time go?
I am just waiting for my little helper to come to put the last few bits on my tree.
These are a few of our favourite handmade bits from the past.
These and a lot more "old timers" go on my tree each year so that it is a tree full of memories.
I love it.
Well, I'd better get organised ready for my playmate to arrive.
Happy Christmas to all who pop by here over the next week.
I hope Santa is kind to you and that you have a peaceful and joyful time.
Best wishes.
x Jo
Awww, love those handmade ornaments - what wonderful memories they must bring. I'm the same, discovering the old favourites in the storage boxes is my favourite thing about Christmas decorating. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with the family - here's to an amazing 2019!

ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to all your family, Jo. I’m on a Scandi decorations making marathon just now. Him indoors is in the Shed making some wee Scandi houses ( to be revealed soon, I hope) your makes are lovely and your helper will enjoy putting them on the tree. X
ReplyDeleteI don't have a tree but I love the idea of a 'memory tree', traditional things that have a story always speak to me! I stop by for the last time this year to say hello and wish you happy holidays, see you in 2019. Love from Holland, Marit #22
ReplyDeleteHi Jo. I love those handmade ornaments. I have lots of memories on my trees too - makes it all very special, doesn't it? Have a great time with your playmate.
ReplyDeleteTrust you have a truly special Christmas.
Take care. God bless.

Hi Jo, love your little collection of handmade tree decorations - they are lovely. I have quite a collection of 'old timers' too and they do bring back wonderful memories of Christmases past. Hope you enjoyed your day with your little playmate. Have a wonderful week and a very Merry Christmas. Hugs, Elizabeth x #30
ReplyDeleteI couldn't either... despite working in a busy office where dates are everything, I kind of hadn't added 7 on to the date... I bet your tree looks fabulous with all your handmade decorations. Perfect! Have a very happy Christmas. Helen #2

ReplyDeleteI've been missing a few weeks, but played catch up with your posts. Always love the photos you share. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and a very Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat little knitted robin is adorable - he really stood out from the rest for me! Did you make them all, or were they hand-made gifts from friends?
ReplyDeleteI shan’t be joining WOYWW next week as we are busy on Boxing Day but hope to see you all in the New Year. Where has this year gone?
Happy belated WOYWW,
