Garment-Dyed Tee

The Keepsake Christmas

Some traditions fit in the palm of your hand.

Vintage Christmas Ornaments T-Shirt in Ivory — three ornate baubles in burgundy, blue and antique gold with evergreen and pinecones

Garment-dyed, soft from the very first wear.

Three ornate ornaments in burgundy, deep blue and antique gold, hanging beneath evergreen branches, pinecones, red berries and a softly tied cream bow. Drawn with the detail of a treasured holiday collection.

Glass ornaments started as a substitute for fruit. Families in Lauscha, Germany hung apples and nuts on the tree, and in lean years a glassblower there began making glass versions instead — blown into moulds, then silvered on the inside to catch the candlelight. They travelled to America in the 1880s and never left. So the shape of a bauble is not abstract decoration. It is an apple, kept for the years when there were no apples to spare.

The Story Behind It

✦ ✦ ✦

Every December, the little cardboard box came down from the highest shelf. Inside, wrapped in tissue softened by years of folding, were the ornaments she always hung first.

The blue one belonged near a light. The burgundy one needed a sturdy branch. The gold one turned slowly whenever someone walked past.

There were newer decorations, of course. But these were the ones everyone asked about, and the ones she packed away most carefully. By evening the empty box sat beneath the table, the kettle was boiling, and three familiar ornaments were back where they belonged.
