Oh BetteAnn,

You make me feel so good!I love that idea of the Calendar towel, I am sure you have quite a lovely collection. And I do enjoy the gifting of ornaments..it is so lovely to decorate our tree year after year with all those memories.

How wonderful that your sister carries on your mother’s tradition…how blessed you all are. And I can only imagine your mother smiling down that her traditions are being carried on.

Do you associate Austria with wool felt like I do? It was ubiquitous…one hotel even had there room numbers in wool felt.

I do hope you have a wonderful Christmas my friend.

Many hugs, Lynn

Once again, I must say that I am so happy to have found your site. Your ideas are wonderful and your talent is amazing. We always managed to exchange ornaments in our family, too. As a crafter, I made many of the ones I gave – in tough years, they were my only gift, in other years they were attached to the bows of the packages. The most beloved tradition among the women in our family was started by my mother. We each received a calendar towel matching either our kitchens or our interests. Of course, the packages, marked from “Santa” were all the same and every year we all said “Oh, I wonder what this could be.” Then we all had to open them at the same time. My mother is gone, but my sister carries on the tradition, and though we may not all be together, those of us who are, still go through the ritual. But my favorite of this particular edition of Nourish and Nestle is the felt garland. I studied for a summer in Salzburg, Austria and managed to visit the family Ihad lived with for Christmas a few years later. Too many projects going already this year, but that garland will be on next year’s list. Have a blessed Christmas season!

In reply to Margaret Pereira. Hi Margaret, thanks for stopping by this morning. I am equally anxious to try my hand at Portuguese food. I really do enjoy making foods from different cuisines and Portuguese is one I haven't tried yet. Thanks for all the recipes.

Hi Kimm, hope you can find a place for the felt! I don’t think I’ve fully exhausted the ‘felt experience’ and feel another project coming on!

Have a great week, Lynn

Lynn, this is beautiful! I love the cozy look of wool felt too, and now I’m trying to figure out if I can work one in to our decor too! Thanks for the inspiration!
