The Scent of Christmas

Bauble Stockings on Shark Tank

Bauble Stockings

I have posted several times on Bauble Stockings. A Bauble Stocking is an ornament-sized, hand-stitched needlepoint stocking which is meant to contain, or hold a clue to, each person's final gift of Christmas.

Every year is different: jewelry, concert tickets, art lessons, scavenger hunts, love notes, riddles, trips, heirlooms, even puppies!
