And the stockings were hung...

 

Can I say that?
I think I can because my friend designed 'em.
I just had to share because the only mantle we have in our house is in our master bedroom so no one ever gets to see them.  They make me happy though.
I love my stocking holders too.
I got them through Ballard Designs a few years ago.
It's a good store.
It makes me happy too. 

While browsing through their online catalog today I found some fun things! 
Isn't this bookend perfect?
And these pillows?
[Maybe there's some design inspiration there for some of you?]


And how cute is this button garland? 
Oh, and I really need one of these storage ottomans...

to go with a couple of these...


plus a couple of new couches.
[Seriously.  Ours has a HUGE hole in it.
We have to keep a quilt over it to hide the hole.]

I'm not sure how I got onto Ballard or this list of cute things because none of them are really on my Christmas list this year.  Maybe when I do my GIVEAWAY next week I'll have to have you guess what IS on my list.  [New pattern coming VERY soon = pattern & layer cake giveaway!]

Check back soon!
