A Giveaway, a Coupon, an Angel Tree, and some Mug Rugs

 If you have not already been to Sew, Mama, Sews! Giveaways website check it out!  My giveaway for vintage Christmas fabric is here.

I am having a sale in my Etsy store:  Opus Designs.  20% of total order if you use this coupon code   DEC10 .

I showed you my hearth tree with the old fashion ornaments in a previous post.  This is my angel tree. 



The dark blob on the left is Kalli-cat.  She wouldnt stay out of the pic.  The tree is in an old blue enamel basin.  An old plaid fabric woven with angels is wrapped around the bottom.  I cant bear to cut it!


My mom started a collection of ornaments for me as a child.  A zillion years later I had too many to put on my Christmas tree.  I noticed I had a lot of angel ornaments. 

About half were gifts over the years starting with this first one a little brass girl with a bell and my name. 

It was the first ornament I hung on the tree Christmas Eve before Santa decorated the tree while I slept. 

The other half are these wonderful church bazaar ornaments.  I really miss the old style church bazaars. 

I had a table to sell things at a Moravian church bazaar this year and found this creative angel. 

Here is another vintage ornament from my grandmother and a tree topper.

I even have a quilt angel my mom found for me a dozen years ago.

I still have my rusty kitchen Christmas tree to put up.  I also havent gotten my real tree yet.  Too much sewing, and on that note I leave you with my finished mug rugs under the hearth tree.  They are gifts for my regular library volunteers who shelve, process books, and check out to students.  I made six in all.  Love my volunteers.

 PS If you haven't sung my Mug Rug carol you can find it here.

Keep dreaming…Colleen
