IT IS COMING, IT IS COMING

IMG_0041

Those of you who “know” me know that I love Christmas. My favourite celebration.

You also know that I collect old fashioned Father Christmas pieces. Not the jolly Coca Cola types but the St. Nicholas types. I have about 130+ in my collection.

The one above is one that I have painted myself and is one of my favourites.

    Wow -- Lori, I am very impressed! That St Nick looks gorgeous! I didn't realize you had such skills. What beautiful work.
    I hope you share LOTS of your Santas this season.

    No, literally. Share. As in, send a few to me.
    :-P

    Lori, I can see why you love this St. Nicholas! I inherited my mother-in-law's collection of Santas, collected from all over. I haven't decided how to use them yet this year, but I may try a tablescape with them first.
