As promised, here at the pictures of our tree completed. We always use ornaments sparingly. We always decorate with red and silver, with a mix of vintage and modern glass balls. The Stockings are hung by the chimney with care... Stockings handmade by me! I made them last year out of wool felt, and I love the way they came out. I really feel that making your family stockings, is a simple way to make an heirloom piece that will be remembered for many years.
I still have the stocking my great grandma made me as a baby. My grandma has the one she made her as well, (circa 1955!)
I found many cool resources online to make my own stockings, and just kind of blindly jumped in and went for it. I think they turned out quite festive!

The following morning we set up the wooden trains on the coffee table, and when I came back in the room Margaux had climbed into the center and was going Godzilla on the poor wooden people. It made for a lovely picture though.Stay tuned! Tomorrow holds a post about our new house. The inspection was yesterday, and the appraisal is next week! I have pictures of us hanging out for the inspection of our 1941 bungalow. It's all extremely exciting. See you tomorrow!

Wait, no 1970s ranch?? You got a bungalow?!? I am so jealous! I pray the inspection goes well for you.
And I dont have any kids to go Godzilla on my Christmas decor but I do have a very obnoxious kitty named Madeline that likes to play with the gnomes and swans in my village under my tree (there are pics in my last post). They arent toys! :)
