This year I decided I wanted to throw something fun together for the holidays, that could include other makers/businesses! What came to life were these collabroative seasonal stocking offerings. 
 
+5+ stockings, each comprised of the work of 7 artists and small businesses. 
 
2 functional items, 2 self care items, and 2 consumables.
All in the stylish, festive package of a handmade/chain stiched stocking made by Sigourney Morrison of Dressed New Orleans.
Each of these very intentional giftable items are perfect to gift to your friends, family, or keep all for yourself!
 
Each stocking will be named in conjunction with my personal offering to each gift basket, the vintage bottle openers adorned in my hand crafted fine and sterling silver magic.
