SANTA COLLECTION #2

This is the second Santa I am sharing. Most of my Santas have been gifts from my husband who would pick up a new one every August when he was in Reno for a car show. There was a Christmas store nearby.
This one has lots of wispy pieces that don't show up well in the photo. His coat is a sage green. He is about 11 inches tall.

    I love this Santa Lori! It's great that he's a little non traditional. Your hubby sounds like a keeper but then I guess you already know that :-)

    I do like this one, Lori. He looks a little wispy and well loved! Your husband deserves some of that too!! What a guy!

    Hey girl

    thanks for coming by. glad you like those old tool boxes.

    Someone else told me about he coffee beans to get rid of grease smell.
    But they said the coffee smell lingers, and i do not like the smell of that either. =0))

    Weird huh??

    Blessings on your day.

    Ooooo I like him! Reminds me of a woodland type Santa! Who'd a thought you could get things like this in Reno. Mini one armed bandits yes. Santas....
