The perfect stocking stuffer
Just wonderful. A charming beautiful book that will fit perfectly in a stocking, with ideas that are both old and charming and as relevant today as they ever were- I bought five more after receiving my first order and plan to give them to all of my grandchildren. The illustrations are wonderful.
