Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I began to pull out my Christmas decorations. While unpacking all my pretty accessories, it occurred to me that I had one little problem. My new house doesn’t have a fireplace, hence it does not have a mantle. Where am I going to hang my stockings? So over the past few days, I’ve been looking for alternative ways to hang my stockings. I thought I’d share a few of the ideas I found in case any of you are facing the same holiday dilemma!

I love the white branch idea though – if we ever change things around, I’ll copy that one!
Remember when you asked what my tree branch stocking hanger looked like? Pretty much EXACTLY like that picture.
It worked great last year, using it again this year (when I get to go buy ribbon to hang it, anyway!).
love the tree branch!! I use a vintage, well worn gold coat rack/stand that normally lives in my daughters room…. during the holidays I steal it for stockings!
