For Collette and Ginette

Stockings are currently a hot topic of discussion. Many families are fortunate enough to have heirloom stockings that were lovingly made by their mamas, grandmamas and other talented family members. Time marches on and beloved seamstresses, cross stitchers, quilters and other uniquiely talented women pass from this world but they leave behind a legacy of treasures we cherish. At the same time, as a symbol of hope, new babies are born into our families and we realize this child will never have one of Mimi's beautiful needlepoint stockings. As Christmas
rolls around we think about our family traditions and collections and begin to search for something to remind us and fit with our current collection. There's no way to match the love that was put into every stitch of the homemade stockings, tree skirts, ornaments and other treasures that adorn our homes during the holiday season. The best we can do is keep the spirit of Christmas and the memories of our loved ones alive in our heart. May the joy and love of the season and family memories permeate your heart. Thanks for stopping in : )
