A lovely tradition from Germany is the Bride's Tree. It is believed that a couple's Christmas tree needs twelve specific ornaments for happiness in their life journey together.
Amy, What nice needlework you do. I used to do the fine cross stitch, but can't do it anymore, it makes me dizzy, which Richard says I'm anyway. I will be finishing up an Eagle sampler today then I will tea stain it. If it comes out I will post a picture, if not, forget I brought it up. Nancy Jo
