a pair of pink stockings.

Published on by Quandie

I picked up a pair of vintage needlepoint Christmas stockings at a garage sale last summer.

Pink roses might not be everyone’s choice for Christmas, but someone went with it.  They put a lot of time into this pair of stockings.

I decided to lean in to their floral design by not only stuffing them with winter greens, but by also adding some faux pink ranunculus.

I also had some vintage glass pink ball clusters in my stash.  They aren’t ornaments, but rather a cluster that was meant to embellish a Christmas package.  Do any of you remember when these were popular?

FYI, I had to borrow that photo from Etsy because I didn’t think to take a picture of mine before I used them.

Anyway, those went into the mix as well, along with some frosty pink berry sprigs from Hobby Lobby.

These will be perfect for someone who still loves a shabby chic Christmas, or is into the Granny Core look (although I hate calling it that, who you calling a granny?).

You don’t find a lot of pink Christmas out there these days, but I’ve always been drawn to it as evidenced by my pink packages from 2017.

My Venetian velvet inspired stenciled wrapping paper from 2018 also featured pink.

And then there was the pink dustpan from 2019.

Last year I added a pop of pale pink to the inside of a Christmas toolbox too.

And actually, many of my favorite vintage Christmas bulbs in my non-collection are pink.

In addition to these pink floral stockings, I also gave a pair of skates some pink florals this year.

When I stopped into the shop just before Thanksgiving to drop off the pink stockings, I noticed that the skates are still there.

So maybe pink florals aren’t everyone’s cup of tea at Christmas?

What do you think?  Would you add a pair of Christmas stockings with pink roses to your holiday decor?

  1. Pink is not something that I think of for Christmas but our daughter loves it. Also since we have been in Florida we do see some trees filled with pink Flamingo ornaments that are beautiful. Your skates and your stockings are beautiful.🩷

  3. Well, they obviously need to switch their kind of tea, because these are FABULOUS! All your pink Christmases items are! I recently visited a store that has been my go to for several years because they have the most magnificent Christmas displays!! One of my favorite trees this year was done in sparkly pink reindeer, tiny iridescent pink balls…made me think of the pink Christmases of my childhood. There were quite a number of pink Christmases things….I think you’re just at the leading edge of a pink Christmas revival. 🧑‍🎄

    1. I was staying quite warm in Mexico earlier this week, but now I’m back home to a balmy 1°. It’s a rude awakening, but I’m still happy to be home again.
