Touching upon a familiar topic, the DIY ethic I have much lauded extends itself to decor as well. There is far more significance to something made by hand for the people you love than in the purchase of cheaply made (potentially toxic?) goods made by foreign labor. This is especially true when it comes to certain seasons and holidays which should carry meaning.

In this case, fabric stockings made by Vera; fabric and bells purchased, and then cut and sewn at home with her own home-made patterns. These particular stockings were crafted about 6 years ago and have been treasured family possessions ever since.
Next time you go to buy some cheap made-in-china product, consider making your own.
