This giveaway is now closed.

The other day I had a little photo shoot with some new Gussy stockings. I had Christmas decorations everywhere and somehow managed to break an ornament :[ Bummer! It was a glittery bulb, so naturally there is glitter that the broom couldn’t pick up. I noticed Bauer sportin’ some glitter — kinda glad Zack hasn’t noticed!

Inside the shop you’ll find red plaid and citrus polka-dot as two new options. They are so rad.

I had to stand on a chair {obviously, I’m soooo short!} to take these photos. I love the angle a chair provides, though! :] In a few weeks, when our stockings are full, I’m totally standing on a chair to peek. Hah!

One day when we have a few kiddies our mantle will look like this:

Stockings 1a, 2a and 3a are the original prints. To help with larger orders, I’ve added the flip {switched the fabric above & below the ruffle} of what you see in the first photo and now you have the option of 1b, 2b and 3b {second photo}.

PLUS red plaid and citrus polka-dot {ruffles are optional on these two}.

How to order:

    – Visit my shop and add to your shopping cart which quantity of stockings you want {choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of 6 stockings}
    – If you order 1 stocking you can pick your print and then add that to your shopping cart
    – If you order 2-6 stockings, please specify at the Paypal “message to seller” section which prints you’d like

It’s sooo easy!

PS. Stockings take about 2 weeks to sew/ship, so please order early…

I caught some sun flair ~ so magical:

With the prints flipped there are now 8 different stocking combinations. Want to see all the photos? Click here to see my flickr page.

Ruffles! I heart them.

*Don’t want a ruffle? Say so at checkout! :]

    You know what? I really like 1a (Purple plaid with green accents — purple and mauve print at the top of the stocking with a green polka-dot ruffle.). I try to never say the first option because it seems like I picked the first thing I saw, but those fabrics are so purty together!

    My favorites:
    Orange sunset with orange/citrus accents — orange and green leaf print at the top of the stocking with a citrus polka-dot ruffle.
    OR
    Citrus polka-dot w/ orange ruffle.

    They’re all so pretty. You’re amazing! :)

    I have no idea why, bu this one is my favorite: Blue plaid with gold/citrus accents — tomato, cream, gray, green and gold stripes at the top of the stocking with a solid red ruffle. They are all really really cute though!

    I loooove the look of 1b. Awesome colours with some really funky print. Looks really evenly “weighted” to me (in terms of the colours and patterns).

    yay! I love the red plaid stocking with the red ruffle. How on earth are ruffles optional! They should always be mandatory!! haha

    Did you make your own template and design for your stockings? I’ve made a few quilted stockings this year to fundraise for our adoption and they are SO much fun to make! (no ruffles on mine though… that’s your mark!) :)

    I’d pick “2a. Blue plaid with gold/citrus accents — tomato, cream, gray, green and gold stripes at the top of the stocking with a solid red ruffle.” Super cute!

    My favorite is the red plaid stocking WITH the ruffle! I love it :)
    You can’t have a Gussy stocking without the Gussy Ruffle.

    I’m totally loving on the Blue plaid with gold/citrus accents — tomato, cream, gray, green and gold stripes at the top of the stocking with a solid red ruffle…and of course I’d have to order the reverse for hubby so we’d have matching ones :) <3

    Oh definitely the 3a…the orange with the leaves. And seriously…who wants to order these without the ruffle? Terrible, I say. What is life without some ruffles? :P

    1a. Purple plaid with green accents — purple and mauve print at the top of the stocking with a green polka-dot ruffle….but the red plaid is a close second! xo!

    1a FOR SURE!!! LOVE IT! Oh, and if I win, I would have to purchase one more…because there’s no way I could have a ruffled “Gussy” stocking, and not my husband ;) Just sayin…

    Every time you put pictures of these stocking, I’m very happy that you came up with this idea! I just love them since your Holoiday Gift Guide 1 when you first revealed the picture :)

    I saw your link thanks to P-dub on twitter. 3a makes my skirt fly up! (now there’s absolutely no question that I’m a P-dub fan!!)

    These are great and I’ll try to order one just as soon as I figure out who needs a stocking.

    The ruffle, it just kills me, so cute!! Hard to choose… I think the 2b (reverse of blue plaid with gold citrus accents) is my favorite though.

    the purple plaid with green accents is my favorite! what a fabulous combination – it would look perfect with my decorations (and would make opening those stocking stuffers even more fun on Christmas morning!)

    3b! (The reverse of 3a)
    Everyone in our family has a totally different stocking and I would love to introduce a ruffled lovely up on our mantle!

    My fav is the purple plaid with green accents! It’s
    A new twist on my fav preppy colors (pink and green) and a fun way to cheer up the traditional holiday colors (red and green). This would be so precious in my new Virginia apartment!! Love it!

    I would have to say that my first pick would be 1b, the reverse of 1a. I love purple and green and that one just jumps at me! Your handiwork is beautiful, and I am hoping that one day in the near future, my budget will allow me go through your shop to buy something, unlike the many times I have already visited it, “just to look.”

    Anyway, thanks for doing the giveaway (even if I don’t win :)) I really enjoy following your blog!
