Handmade Stocking Filled with Joy

I wish I could say this stocking is mine, well it is sort of. I made it for someone. Who? Now that's a secret! Yes this sweet Christmas stocking is for a secret friend. I made it as part of a Victorian Christmas Stocking swap being hosted by my dear friend Sherry Bamsey. It was a collaboration with my Mom. (If you call going to my Mom's house robbing her fabric stash, then making her sew it, a collaboration!) I took my stocking home finished it off and filled it with some precious stash items. I think I did good, my rule of swapping is, that if you don't want to part with it, its good!! I hope my secret friend loves it! 


{I probably will not be able to fit all the goodies inside!}



{yes, parting with this amazing avon mini perfume bottle}

{bags filled with ephemera both paper and dimensional}

{i am glad it looks good hanging, I didn't even think of it while I was making it, if it would hang nicely!}
-I have some more swaps to share but can't spoil the fun!
What are you creating for Christmas?

  2. Wow Denise! The stocking is just gorgeous and all the treasures are divine! What a special treat. I've got all my decorations up and worked on a couple projects this weekend too. I am just loving this time of year so much! See you next month.

  5. I adore my stocking! Thank you, Denise! It is absolutely gorgeous and looks so beautiful hanging on my mantel. I love all of the vintage goodies inside, especially the swan perfume bottle and the little deer!

    You put a lot of thought into all of the goodies and I cherish all of them.
