I love our Christmas tree. I love that the ornaments are all different, and have been collected over the years. Sometimes I admire those colour co-ordinated, perfectly put together “decorator” trees, but in the end they always leave me feeling a little cold. For me, I think the heart and warmth of the tree comes from the tradition and stories behind all the decorations. The other day I found these cute little felt penny rug ornaments from Folky Dolky, and I think I may have to stock up for next year!
Felted from upcycled wool clothing, they are an earth-friendly choice too!
Or get them with a monogram!
Then, after I had already fallen for Julie’s ornaments, I saw something else that caught my eye (and my breath!). These pretty little felt brooches would add a stylish touch to almost any outfit. They would also be a great stocking stuffer or gift exchange idea for the fashionista on your list.
These soft neutrals compliment almost anything, and the layers of petals give it added dimension!
This cream one is my favorite! The middle showcases a vintage reclaimed button.
Julie gets plenty of inspiration from living in Newfoundland, and loves the added touch of history that comes with using upcycled materials. I have to agree, and I think her pieces would fit right in on my tree… and in my wardrobe!
See it all in the Folky Dolky Etsy shop, and put a little bit of “the rock” on your tree.

I agree about decorating the Christmas tree. It’s so much fun unwrapping and hanging each unique ornament every year, and remembering the special person who made it or gifted each one to our home. I wouldn’t have any other kind of tree!
