Hello and welcome!
Today, January 6th, is the last day of the Italian Holiday season! We call it Epiphany! According to Italian folklore, this day an old woman who looks like witch brings stockings to children. Those who were good receive sweets and the bad ones – coal! Nowadays no one puts a real coal in the stockings! Parents usually buy a faux coal made from sugar and put it together with the sweets just as a warning for their little ones to be good next year!
And since this day also reminds us also about the coming of the Magi (the three wise men) with their gifts, I decided to finish the holiday season with a cute doggy carrying lots of gift boxes that features some fabulous stamps from the Purple Onion Designs!
