Thank you Sally for hosting our much loved Smiling Sally Please visit Sally's post for all who have featured their Blue Monday today.
***************************************************
MADE WITH LOVE.
Our daughter-in-law made these stockings for us some years ago. She has since passed away. She was only 42 years old. These stockings hold a very special place in our heart as you might guess. I have shared them before so forgive me if you remember seeing them. The detail is amazing and this photo doesn't show the hard work that went into these thoughtful gifts.
We love having this memory for years to come.
Blessings and love,
JEANNE
What a gift she left for you to enjoy. Glad to see you bock. I do not know how you do it. I could never do all the things you do. Love your new profile photo.

Hi Jeanne,
Christmas items handmade are special. Because the crafter is no longer with us, these are extra special.
I like your blues; thanks for sharing.
Happy Blue Monday.

How dear to your hearts those must be, and it's just shining off the page how much you loved her. What a wonderful, lasting legacy---that work of her hands passed down and enjoyed every year.
We're awaiting three more of the GRANDS, but don't know if they're coming tonight or tomorrow, so I've got supper on, just in case.
I wish you all the most wonderful Christmas, in your family and in your hearts.
love and,

Hello dear Jeanne :)
What a wonderful gift and a thoughtful thing for her to have done. And how lovely to have that memory every year when you put them up.
You know, you were the first person I thought of when Paris was attacked. I said "Thank God Jeanne and Bill are home." It's just terrifying...
That's all I can say about that.
I hope you're enjoying the Christmas season.
Love to you,
rue
