Plain and Simple Christmas Stocking Inspiration

Sometimes 'simple' makes a bigger statement than any other. . .

I'm back with more photos from White House Creations in Bernie, Missouri, looking for more inspiration. . .I am never disappointed. . .and have become very aware that even for our Farmhouse Style, the simplicity of everyday red stockings captures the Spirit of Santa better than any of my choices in the past. . .


Now. . .Why didn't I think of this? . .Totally traditional. . .definitely bringing thoughts of past Christmases on the farm. . .

For many years we never had anything else but stockings from the sock drawer for Santa to fill. . .To be truthful, they usually were Daddy's biggest socks and definitely not red. . .It wasn't until I was maybe six or so that my Grandmother Duncan gifted us with felt stockings, shiny and glittery with embellishments. . .They were big and deep. . .making us very happy since Santa had to fill them with many more goodies than normal. . .

But. . .now in my adulthood. . .memories of those everyday stockings, carefully hung Christmas Eve night where Santa would be sure to find them, bring a smile. . .


Their contents on Christmas morning would appall most these days. . .but we were thrilled to find apples, oranges, nuts and candy. . .In fact, Christmas was about the only time during the year that we had real oranges. . .We found them sweet and delicious and a Christmas treat. . .

You can just imagine how bumpy those knit stockings looked, hanging plump and full. . .

Everywhere I looked, Dottie inspired my stocking revelation more. . .even in her log cabin, 'simple' made a statement that was undeniable. . .


This was Christmas as I have always seen it in my memories. . .and will be easily incorporated into the farmhouse style. . .without taking away any of the more contemporary look. . .After all. . .less is more even now!


Don't you agree?
