Advent calendars are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. I've had one (or two or three) every year since I can remember. Now I can't resist getting them for my kids too. I like the old fashioned looking ones the best. There's something special about opening a new little door each day and seeing the treasure inside. Come to think of it, this is exactly what I love about reading blogs too...a new surprise each time you visit.
I've updated my shop today, more on that tomorrow!

That´s so true, what you write about blogs and advent calendars :-)
oh, me too! And I've managed to get my daughter hooked as well--even now at too-cool thirteen, she is insistent about getting an Advent calendar and we went to several stores on Saturday before finding a perfect one at PaperSource. I did see one on ebay the next day (was looking for Emma Bridgewater mugs) - a beautiful Matthew Rice watercolor, very old-fashioned and pretty. I may have to buy it and hide it away for next year!
My kids used to love advent calendars. I did not get organized this year and get one...next year I will need to remember.
You are right about blogs being windows opening on surprises! I too love so much the advent calendar!
I love advent calendars, I don't even have kids and I get one every year.
glad to see i have good company in liking advent calendars, Andrea, Raina, Artycho, and Not so Crafty!
Sarah, i love matthew rice's illustrations too! and i'm glad to know that your 13 year old still enjoys a good advent calendar :)
my 22 year old daughter is amazed when she thinks how she wrapped her life around her advent calendar--a happy memory for her
