Day 18: Stocking

Stockings were the challenge today. I don't have a stocking at home, and I don't think there are any at work. But I do have a different kind of stocking.

Well I thought my stocking picture would count, but this just goes to prove that I'm not the walking dictionary. When I went to look up the definition in order to prove my picture would count, I found out it doesn't. So here's my picture of a long sock that I temporarily hung in my kitchen to take this picture. (I do own the kind of stocking described in the definition.)

Just focus on the super cute tea pots in the background. One of them I found at a yard sale and Miss Ellaneous just gave me the other one. My collection is up to four tea pots.
