No one is quite sure how the tradition of placing gifts in holiday stockings began. Legend has it St. Nicholas placed gold in stockings left to dry on a fireplace mantle. Little did St. Nicholas know he was starting a long lasting holiday tradition. This week’s New Arrival features petite, charming, collectible holiday stockings.
Handmade from vintage fabrics |
Each is a one-of-a-kind work of art crafted from exquisite antique textiles such as Italian silk, sacred European vestments, and embroidered throws from Uzbekistan. These fabrics were hand stitched by rural women in Appalachia, sensitive artists who knew how to recast some of the world’s finest fabrics to honor one of the world’s oldest traditions. No matter what you put inside – large, small or nothing at all – each stocking proudly proclaims JOY FOUND HERE!
