Ornaments to Cherish: Decorating for Christmas with Shirley Bredal

The shorter days are here, the lights begin to twinkle, and little hands are eager to help hang the ornaments. At Shirley Bredal, we believe in decorating not just for the moment — but for the memories. With our handcrafted holiday pieces, every ornament becomes a keepsake, a story, a tiny work of art.

A Personal Touch for Your Tree

Doesn’t it feel magical when you spot your child’s name on the tree? The Letter Ornament from our Christmas collection is exactly that: simple, refined, meaningful. Whether hung on the tree, used as a gift tag, or tucked into the stocking — it becomes more than an ornament. It becomes theirs.

With its soft color palette, subtle embroidery and thoughtful finishing, it pairs beautifully with the rest of the décor, while quietly telling a story of care and craft.

Handmade Charm & Quiet Delights

We love the little details: a Sweater Ornament knitted from natural fibers, or a felted Goose With Scarf that brings a quiet smile. These pieces are not mass-produced, they’re made slowly, with love. One at a time, each carries its slight variation, its human touch. 

When you hang them, you’ll see the texture, you’ll feel the softness, and you’ll know: this isn’t just decoration. It’s heritage.

Building a Tree That Speaks to You

Why settle for generic when your tree can reflect your values and heart?

Pick a palette that feels true to you — soft creams, dusty greens, muted reds.

Combine smooth baubles with textured knits and felted pieces so the light catches and the layers whisper story.

Let each ornament earn its place: every name, every year, a memory.

When the season’s over, tuck these pieces away safely — and next year, when you pull them out, they’ll feel like old friends.

Why These Ornaments Matter

Because they’re made with intent. Because each one could be passed on, picked up again, remembered. You’re not just choosing a tree decoration — you’re choosing a tradition.

And when the house is quiet, when the lights are low and the children sleep, you’ll walk through the room and see those little shapes hanging, and you’ll feel the story they hold.

Thank you for letting Shirley Bredal be part of your home this season. We hope these ornaments bring you warmth, delight and lasting memories. 🎄
