Big Deal: Hable Construction Stocking Sale

Erin Behan — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:59:00 GMT

I love Hable Construction stockings a lot (in fact, I wrote about them in last year's 5 days of Stockings feature). So, I'm super psyched to find select styles on sale at more than half off. The coral felt stocking, normally $135 is now just $65. There's four more stockings that are just $65, but act quickly because the stock is limited and the season is upon us. Hable Construction's handmade felt stockings are put together by a women's cooperate in Hungary and use traditional applique techniques.

5 Days of Stockings: Warm-Weather Trio from Hable Construction

As much as those of us who live in the Northeast hate to admit it, there are some people whose Christmas involves sunshine and shorts. Well, do I have the stocking(s) for you. Hable Construction has three sea-themed stockings--a coral ($135), a mermaid ($135) and an emerald sea horse ($96)--that capture the holiday spirit without the use of snow or Santa (because who has a chimney in Florida?). To soften the monetary blow, know that part of the sale price supports the women's cooperative in Hungary that produces the fun, wool felt stockings.
