Village Charm

Village Charm by Robin Betterley for Wilmington Prints 

Here at our home, holiday decorations have varied over the years.  But one thing has been constant – our Christmas Village.  Each year I tell myself I’m not going to buy anymore “houses” and each year I fail miserably on my promise.  I’ve even made my kids promise not to buy me any, and they occasionally slip too when they see one that “Mom can’t live without.”  Last year I was pretty well behaved; I only bought one.  We won’t count, though, that I walked out of the store with 3 bags of trees, lights, people, and other adorable accessories.  After all, technically, they’re not “houses”.   I’m addicted, and my kids are addicted for me, too.

When our Wilmington rep brought over the cap cards for this collection, I just knew we had to have it.  The free quilt pattern is called “Oh, So Charming,” and I think that describes this collection perfectly!

What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions?
