Here are some precious antique Santas of mine..there's some restoration work to do...and I have to find a mohair reindeer and sled for the man above....
     I make great displays year round that I cannot put away...Christmas is so magical and there are not enough weeks to celebrate...so I keep most of my items out all year long. I use my lovely little German fox and Swiss Bear to accompany photo shoots of Santas....they like to get about, ha ha!!    THESE LITTLE TREASURES ARE FROM Sherry in New York, she sells dolls on EBAY..... "sherrysvintagefinds" is her seller name. They are made in the antique design. I just adore them.....VERY CUTE and PRECIOUS. They're made from paper mache clay.       THESE little fellas are made by precious Voni. She is "flamingo42"  seller name on ebay...Aren't they just the cutest !!!'these are just 3 of many.  I made the candle on the tree.
            These are presents from Norma when I bought some items.... GORGEOUS Angel and Our Lady figures? made in Germany. They are dug from the ruins of factories bombed during WW2 at Thuringia.  I added the gold tree hangers to allow me to hang them from my tree always....and  this Santa set below is made by EV Scott from Canada.The needle felted donkey is the reason I wanted him so bad...he is adorable.        Here are some of my old mohair bears...AND Harrods and Vermont bear too.                I've got lots of mohair dogs and a Merrythought donkey.   Most of my bears and dogs come from the 1930's to 50's.
   Here are two precious Santas.One prim bought in Seattle in 1997, and a little potato paste cut out made by a German lady. I bought him in Kuwait while I lived there in 2004. A beautiful porcelain Angel seen here hanging off my tree IS NOW on top of my tree.....her wings are paper mache. She is so precious!!!
