recently married, completely in love and ready to document all of the fun and adventure of our first year of marriage.

Love = Pottery Barn Quilted Velvet Stockings

A couple of months ago, we returned a wedding gift we received to Pottery Barn and in exchange got a nice little merchandise credit with which I had no clue what I wanted to buy. None of the remaining unpurchased items on our registry were inexpensive enough to pay for in full with the credit and I didn’t want to spend it just to spend it so I decided to hold onto it until something good popped up and bit me. Today, I was bitten.

I warned you the other day that I was approaching full-on holiday mode. And I may or may not have mentioned in the past that aside from summer, the holidays are my favorite season. (Yes, the holidays are officially a season in and of themselves in my world.) So today I went hog wild and ordered monogrammed stockings for Mike, the dog and I. Mine is the ivory quilted velvet stocking with dark green embroidery. Mike’s is the matching ruby quilted velvet stocking with white embroidery and Nina is getting the green velvet stocking with red cuff embroidered in white. We are all very excited. (Or maybe I’m the only one who is excited, but I’m excited enough for all of us so that counts!)

Through tomorrow, Pottery Barn is offering free shipping and free monogramming on most of their beautiful stockings bringing my total cost, after using the merchandise credit, to $2.34 for three monogrammed velvet stockings. I’m seriously giddy enough about this one to spend the rest of the day singing holiday jingles to myself. Don’t believe me? Just ask Mike. He can testify to my complete and total obsession with the holidays.
