so about fifteen minutes before leaving for an afternoon wedding on saturday, i pulled these hose out of the closet to wear and discovered a two inch moth hole in the front ankle of the left stocking.

and i had yet to wear these in a proper outing. AND i had just bought a red tie to match them on friday.

brought them to the best mom in the world for mending yesterday. guess i'll be keeping them in a zip lock bag from now on...
