Did you grow up with Advent calendars?
With a perforated cardboard door to open, one for every day until Christmas, each with a little picture behind it? (The calendars with toys or chocolates had not been invented yet. At least that is what my parents claim.)
And if you grew up with Advent calendars, did you trick your little brother and generously offer to let him open the first door, because you knew if you went second, you got the even numbers on the calendar and thus the really big door for Christmas Eve? Nope, me either.
Anyway, I've made an Advent calendar for all of you. A picture every day in December until Christmas. Instead of a paper calendar, it's a virtual calendar, on my Facebook page. Nothing for sale, no shop announcements - just pictures of vintage Christmas treasures. They'll just appear like magic, every morning. You will not even need to trick your little brother. Not that you ever would.
Thank you!

Hey, I just came from Facebook...I just bought that putz house last week. Same house. Boy would we be trouble at the same estate sale. The scratching, biting even...

I was desperately trying to email you about some fabric and your email was returned! Is your email broken?

I used to sneak and open the big one on the 24th to peek at the baby Jesus, then carefully close it back up. Sometimes I would sneak a peek several times over the season.
