The Christmas Advent season is here, and I am so excited to be finished with my Christmas Joy advent calendar. I have always wanted to make one, so I am glad I finally did this year!
Christmas Joy sweetly stitched on a vintage Christmas tablecloth.
Pretty vintage lace between each row and numbers carefully embroidered on vintagey Christmas prints.
Lovely eyelet lace adorned to the bottom to add a pretty touch.
Now it is ready to be hung and filled with little treasures to welcome in this Christmas Advent!
Santa is starting to make a sweet appearance in my home! Oh, how I love this time of year!
Wishing you a most lovely and crafty day!
