I love my vintage advent calendars and have quite a selection to choose from each year. I still buy all the children big and small, advent calendars and no they don't feature chocolate!
This is the one I am using this year. I forgot to take photos of the kids ones this time!
It hangs by the side of bed and I see it sparkling in the darkness when I wake each morning.
The pictures inside the doors are so pretty.
Such sweet vintage angels.
I shall be opening my Number 15 up this morning.
I thought my card today should feature an angel. It's another vintage style Christmas card I made and is for sale down at Dotty's Teahouse, Carshalton
High St, SM5 2AE
I made an inky blue background using distress inks and then added an embossed blue panel. The lovely angel digi is from Graphic Fairy. The die cuts are by Tim Holtz, Memory Box and J Sheen.
The silent night stamped sentiment is an old one from Lili of the Valley.

Nice vintage advent calendar. I may have an old one somewhere. I like to pick one with chocolate, especially the good ones. Why not? :-} I need to get my cards out monday. I'm behind this year. Years ago I started them on thanksgiving...late in the day when guests left. I enjoy your cards a lot! Keep it up! Merry Christmas from chilly Oregon.
