Today’s crafted ornaments can become tomorrow’s keepsakes
Making your own ornaments and decorations for the holidays has its own rewards — the need to create is strong in many of us — but it feels particularly good to dig out your art supplies at this time of year.
As Bob Richter puts it in his new book, “A Very Vintage Christmas” (Rowman & Littlefield): “At the heart of it, this is what Christmas means to me . passing along warmth, memories, tradition, stories and so much more.”
Richter keeps his childhood memories alive by decorating with vintage ornaments, some of which he received as a small child from relatives.
