This December 1 we are kicking off a new tradition at our house – the Christmas Countdown Advent Bunting.
We had a few different ideas in mind when we decided to create this project; there are so many wonderful variations of the countdown calendar out there. However when we discovered the adorable little advent numbered cards from The Paper Birdcage we knew exactly what we needed to create.
Each day in December in the countdown to the ‘big day’ we will draw a card from our little fabric pockets and do a ‘festive activity’.
Here’s how you can make your own bunting countdown calendar:

She has some beautiful personalised Christmas tree ornaments too, but you have to be quick to get your order in before Xmas.
2- Handpainted Timber Block Set from Habitue Design-
Kristy is an interior designer who makes handmade items for children and interiors, and these handprinted blocks really pop! I am a huge fan of blocks. Their simplicity and open ended play are so vital for a young childs development. This set is so so bright and colourful, they would make a beautiful heirloom set to be passed from generation to generation.
I swoon when i see the lovingly handmade items at Folkwood. Every piece Sandy makes at ˜The Folkery evokes such wonder and imagination, they are a perfect addition to any wee ones toy box.
Anna, like myself is a scientist by trade, but have both stumbled upon the wonderful world of the handmade. She makes the most lovely laser cut jewellery which are uncomplicated with clean minimalistic lines. I think most women we know would be more than happy with a piece or two in their stockings this Christmas
