Hello Holiday Lovers
Pumpkins and Stockings here!!
Thanks for stopping in at my shop, "Pumpkins and Stockings" This is a place where we celebrate the Autumn and Winter holidays each and every day. I love every holiday, but especially the cozy warm holidays.
As a little girl, there was a shop in Old Town Alexandria, in VA, very near to our home. We made a point of visiting a few times each year. That shop was called The Christmas Attic and it was my very favorite place on Earth to go. Set up in one of the old townhouses that were so common there, was 2 stories of Christmas items, many of which even a little kid like me could purchase. I still have some of the many Christmas decorations that I bought there as a child!
So, in thinking of that shop where you could go any day of the year and find Christmas, I decided to make this shop a place where Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas were alive all year.
I lost my Father several years ago, just after Thanksgiving, and as my relationship with him was one filled with and based on gratitude, I can’t imagine a more ‘perfect’ if there is such thing, time to bid him farewell. In that spirit & as tribute to him I am asking you all to, please, thank the people who made sure that you felt loved and that you had a wonderful childhood, joyous birthdays and many other special days as my parents, my father, did each Christmas. Don't let another day or year go by without letting them know what their love and sacrifices have meant to you.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely beautiful! The seller was extremely generous, accommodating, and easy to work with. She created a custom piece for my daughter’s playroom and it’s just perfect. I’m so in love with it! I also got a Halloween garland and it is too cute. The work she does is beautiful!

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
Yes, I can do customize or personalized orders. It's my pleasure, in fact, to tweak ornaments to make them more like you originally envisioned. I can do everything from adding a date or name, to a more elaborate idea like adjusting the hair, eye and skin color of a character on an ornament, to the reproduction of your home as a gingerbread house.
The cost of such changes will be discussed at the time of the request. I simply ask that you keep in mind that the cost of my ornaments is kept at a minimum, so special changes, additions, or personalizations will increase the cost based on the complexity, additional materials needed, additional time and non-basic skills required.
Sizing details
While this is not applicable to what I currently sell, I do try to make a note of the size of the items that I sell, either by a direct measurement or in a relative manner. If I haven't made note of it, please don't hesitate to ask me to make note of it.
Care instructions
I do make a note with each felt product I sell as to how to store, use, care, and clean it.
Here's a quick rundown of this info.
1.) Storage: these items will be best protected if they are stored with either mothballs or cedar planks, chips or balls.
2.) Use: these items should only be used inside as decoration, keeping them away from open flames and water which will cause the ornaments to shrink and curl up.
3.) Cleaning: If one of these wool felt items get dirty, the best way to clean it is with a DIY dry cleaning kit. The other option is to clean it with soda water/sparkling water, dabbed on with a white rag lightly, no rubbing!
Gift wrapping and packaging
Yes, I do gift wrap!
The small items (small = less than 5 square inches are wrapped for free.
Larger items are gift wrapped for a small additional charge, gift wrapping is available.
Please indicate your desire to have the item gift wrapped in the message to seller box when you make the purchase. Also, please indicate the reason for wrapping, i.e. birthday, anniversary, wedding, or graduation, etc.
Ribbons and bows available upon request. Color subject to availability.
Wholesale availability
Wholesale is available on a limited basis.
