Shepherd's Bush Christmas Stocking Kit SOPHIE

From Shepherd's Bush, this is Sophie's Christmas Stocking.

 

"We don't have little girls at our house, so this stocking was designed for my mother. Christmas has always been such a wonderful time in her home as she prepares to celebrate the holiday with our family. December is busy with the unpacking of a collection of ornaments begun when she was a little girl, the baking of sandbakkel tarts, the caroling with grandchildren, and the frosty, evening visit to Christmas Village. Many of the traditions which I have long taken for granted, have become favourites of my Peter, and I see how happily he anticipates them as Advent nears. So here is a stocking for Sophie, who has always filled our hearts with warm Christmas memories." - Tina Richards Herman, designer
