My Mother made this the year before she passed away. It has 24 buttons on it - at the bottom there are 24 pockets. Inside each pocket is a ornamental button that she tied gold thread to. Each day an ornament is to be taken out of the pocket and placed on the tree - so on Christmas Eve, the tree is fully decorated.

I just love it :)

Lovely!

Awwww......I LOVE that so much!

What a wonderful keepsake!

You are very lucky to have a wonderful gift to remember your mother by. It's a really a nice way to have her with you every year at the Christmas season.

So cute. We had one similar like it growing up

What a lovely idea to keep it for future years. I made a tree for my twin DGDs when they were 4 or 5 with small ornaments on ribbon to hang on th buttons. I have no idea if it survived

It was the most fun just to find decorative buttons. There was a button shop in Freeport ME at the time -- some as much as 3 and 4 $$$

How awesome! I love that.

that is so cute, thanks for sharing with us

how nice

What a wonderful way to remember your mom. It's really beautiful.

I love this story and the wall hanging. This would be a beautiful present for young grandchildren to countdown Christmas, especially for those who celebrate Advent season.

This must be a beautiful tradition for you! To remember Mom every day in this special way each year would be awesome!

oh that is wonderful. every day a beautiful thought!

What a cute idea! I am keeping this in mind for next year. The grandkids would love to decorate the tree!

very nice :)

What a wonderful keepsake from your Mom. So happy for you :)

Very pretty and unique!!

Such a wonderful display!!!!

Great idea, very cute

I love this, will make one for next year. I hope.... Thanks for sharing

I have a button tree too and another that i gave a friend on the arrival of her first GD who is now 14 lots of fun.

What a treasure! It's wonderful.

ahhhh. how cute. I love it! My grandkids would love adding an ornament a day to it.

These are sometimes called Advent Calendars. Yours is very special.

Really neat idea, an advent calendar.

That is really nice. It is so nice to be able to remember your mother by.

I love this! I wish I would have seen it before now. Do you mind if I borrow the idea? My MIL did not put up a tree of any kind this year since my FIL is in a nursing home. This could have been easy for her to put up and take down with easy storage too. I would have brightened up the room too. She wouldn't let us kids put up her tree with all her cats to mess with the tree and ornaments.

That is so pretty.

Beautiful

What a beautiful wall hanging and great idea on the ornaments. Wonderful rememberance of your Mom.

Great idea! A wonderful memory of Mum!

That is really neat. What a super way to remember your mom!!

Of course you can borrow the idea :)

Actually my Mother made this for my niece, I saw it over the holidays and took a picture of it so I can make one for my house. I do love it.

What a great idea! It's really beautiful all decorated!

That's a lovely idea, one I'd like to copy for my grand daughter next year, thanks

How nice! What a nice keepsake.

I would call that one special heirloom ! Very happy for you and yours

I absolutely LOVE it!! What a great idea.

An Advent Calendar! I've been looking for a pattern for one for years, it is the nicest I've ever seen! Do you have a pattern for it, or an online address where the pattern is sold?

Congrats, beautiful job!

Very pretty! What a cool idea! I can see why you love, besides knowing your mom made it! It's lovely!...
