On the 1st Day Of Etsy… Recycled Christmas StockingGiveaway

December 7, 2009 39

♪ My true love gave to me, a stocking made from recycled suit coats. ♫

The holidays are right upon us, and my first giveaway from the 12 Days of Etsy will make your mantle look lovely this holiday season. It is a lovely stocking made by the fabulous Etsy shop Mandinka Designs. This stocking is a “patchwork of yummy soft wools and cottons on the outside, and fully lined with satiny suit coat lining on the inside.” You can hang this lovely stocking from your mantle and stuff it full of goodies for the holidays and then when the holidays are over, use it anywhere in your house as a lovely decoration.

Mandinka Designs is owned by Mandy Curl with the assistance of her mother Liz. Mandy and Liz start the design process by hunting through their local thrifts for lovely suit coats with fabulous linings and labels. When they take suit coats home the magic begins with the designing of their lovely handbags, totes, accessories, toys and stockings. Every part of the suit coat is used, even the leftover pieces are used to make their sweet little bugs. rack. I think Mandinka’s hop is full of lovely things and right now I really, really love the Sidney handbag. What a lovely way to use the tag from the mens‘ suit, don’t you think?

A huge thank you to Mandinka Designs for sponsoring this lovely giveaway.
