Bold, cheery stockings are a must-have holiday treat for design-lovers! Here are a few favorites that I stumbled upon recently…with patterns so cute & modern, not even a lump of coal could ruin them! Pictured above: Bull’s Eye Stockings and below: Hable Christmas Stockings – both available at Garnet Hill for $28/ea.
Sooooo cute from Sprout home (pictured below) – Xmas Stocking Red/G/W & Xmas Stocking Brown/B/G. Don’t miss the white version either! ($40/ea)
Bring in some serious holiday sparkle with Chunky Sequin Stockings from West Elm ($19/ea)…

Hi Everyone -
We’re still working away on the main hostesswiththemostess.com website…It’s proving to be more of a daunting task than I anticipated as the workload seems to just grow and grow – but the progress is exciting and can’t wait to share it with you when Phase 1 is ready!
In the meantime, I wanted to give you a sneak peek of what the site is all about, so I’m planning to post a few official Hostess with the Mostess™ holiday tabletop designs this week. The first design – featured today – is called "Berries & Branches " and is more of a playful design. I’ve posted a few images here, but you can get full details of how to create this tabletop by downloading the pdf (3.1 M) – which has some tabletop tips and more extensive imagery. The pdf actually follows the website template – so it should give you an idea of what’s in the works – and even more details will be available for each party theme when the website launches – including coordinating recipes & signature drink ideas for each theme.
