Stockings
I spent this afternoon at my Mom's house, helping to get all of her Christmas stuff from her attic, putting up her tree, trimming her tree and decorate for Christmas.
In the process of unpacking her Christmas things, I found these.
The stockings Mom made for her children.
Fifty-three years ago!!!
They brought back so many memories! I was truly thrilled to see them again. I brought them home with me and will try to hand wash them and see if I can get them clean again. Then my Mom will hang them up in her house.
My heart is warmed!
