Oh Christmas Tree Skirt...........

Heather over at Books And Quilts invited me to join in their Christmas Tree Skirt show.

This one has been around a long time, so long in fact that I don't remember where or when I purchased it, so long ago that it was not even made in China! I do recall that the price was very good, on sale, and I knew I could never make anything similar for the materials and time involved.

If you would like to join in and show off your Christmas tree skirt along with a little history then this is the place to link it up!

 I love the bling which photography has not really enhanced, it's a very pretty, green velvet with lots of sequins.

It is somewhat the worse for wear in a couple spots, our son and DIL have a couple of Yorkies that are obstinate about potty training and one year they used my tree skirt! I cleaned it up but those areas show damage, hidden behind/under the tree usually.

This year due to my recent spinal surgeries we have only the little tree I call "Matt's Tree" because it displays the memorial ornaments I have acquired each year since 2006. The quilted Santa table topper I made a few years ago. Perhaps next Christmas we may have the larger tree again as well.
