This is such an adorable idea! I have 3 cats and am always running out of ideas of gifts for them. They’ve had those store-bought cat stockings more years in a row than I can count! I’m sure I could adapt this for them 🙂 xx
I just have to say I love your photography in this post. The subject is so simple, yet you make it look oh-so-sweet with your little ribbons, simple colour schemes, and general healthy sense of styling.
Go Pretty Fluffy!!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Maggie. I had such a fun time styling and photographing it all. Simple and sweet is often the best way to go 🙂
I agree with you Maggie!
Totally making these when I have a spare day before Christmas! Thanks for the idea! x
