Friday Finds :: Classic Christmas with Garnet Hill

I have to admit that I’m lacking the motivation to decorate our house for Christmas this year. Because the last year has been full of exhausting house renovations, I’ve hesitated to pull out all the holiday decorations, just to put them right back a few weeks later. Do you know the feeling?

However, my mood quickly changed when I recently received the sweetest felt stockings in the mail from Garnet Hill. Part of the Hable Christmas Stocking Collection (now on sale!), the stockings come in a variety of timeless themes and can also be monogrammed for a personalized touch. I love that they are generous in size too – lots of room for Santa’s goodies!

For today’s Friday Finds, I’ve rounded-up a few other holiday items from Garnet Hill – all with a classic Christmas style. Loving it and think you’ll too!
