I saw these in the Pottery Barn Kids catalog a month ago and was smitten.The only stockings we own are four inches high and purely for decoration.
I could picture these lovely ones on my own mantel for years to come.
BUT they were full price and I certainly was not going to pay for shipping.
A week went by and I noticed online they were selling out fast, so I put my dream aside.
A few days later I checked again and not only were the stockings on sale, they had restocked and shipping was free.
I knew what I wanted for Christmas- stockings.
I knew I had to act fast.
As I put them in my cart, the snowman sold out. Not good.
Then the reindeer was next- no longer available it read.
Drat. This wasn't working out at all.
So I called customer service. Twice.
And the PBK store in Louisville.
And Cincinnati.
And Columbus.
And Nashville.
And I found the snowman and reindeer there.
Perfect.
The rest I bought online.
Christmas came early yesterday and it did not disappoint.
I am totally in love.
They just need to be embroidered, but that can wait. I have my dream stockings.
I am one HAPPY girl.
Very happy indeed.
Matt- airplane, Brynn- ballerina, Trey- Santa, Rich- nutcracker, Kaitlyn- ballerina, Cheryl- snowman, Josh- reindeer

I love that Rich is a nutcracker. : )
Oh- those are good stockings.. we ordered ones from Lands End the year after the twins were born, they are really pretty stockings but not very big. Santa has a hard time stuffing them every year. Those look like they are a good size, Santa can fill them up with goodies :-)
We have the PBK stockings from last year, and I LOVE them! I bought the matching tree skirt on their after-christmas sales for something like $20 and I just bought one more stocking for Matt on ebay this year - they're so cute!!! I was so excited to put the whole picture together this year. :-) I love that they're so soft and seem to be well-made on the inside, I can't stand stockings that make it hard to get things in and out of them. We didn't fill them completely last year, but I love their big size - it's easy to hide toys inside so it's not just massive amounts of candy. Hope Santa likes yours this year, too! :-)
walker has the train stocking and I just bought olivia the ballerina one. Thanks for the heads up on free shipping! :) I LOVE these stockings.
