I was beside myself as they were in customs for over 2 weeks. For every day that they stayed there, I probably grew a few gray hairs. They finally came in and all are shipping on Monday with a little gift. We feel terrible for the delay but know that you will agree they were worth the wait. And, can almost guarantee that you will look forward to bringing them out every year. I just love them and am really proud of this collection**<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hi friends, trying my best to get back in the groove Feels like two steps forward \u00a0and one back. Will get there slowly but surely and hopefully with my mother guiding me as she always has. It has not been an easy holiday season but the distraction of my business has been good for me. It&#8217;s been like a Santa&#8217;s workshop on steroids this past week. I am very proud of my team and how much we got done. \u00a0We worked against the clock to insure that orders were out the door on time. It was total mayhem and we survived!<\/p>\n<p>On the homefront,\u00a0\u00a0will have a very quiet Christmas this year. I couldn&#8217;t and wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way. I am still in deep mourning over my mother and am so glad that my dad will be here with us. I hope this finds everyone humming along, checking things off their list and finding joy in this beautiful and magical season. Onward to my Seven on Sunday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">______________________________________<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 A FANTASTIC SOUP RECIPE<\/strong>\u00a0I have always said\u00a0I\u00a0could live on soup\u00a0year round.

When\u00a0I featured them a few days ago on Instagram, everyone went nuts for them. They\u00a0really are so incredibly beautiful and I just love this\u00a0collection.<\/p>\n<p>Plus knowing that with each stocking purchased you are helping to support an\u00a0impoverished single mom in Haiti really makes these so meaningful.
