Little Wool Santa

I gave my little wool santa a new forrest this year on the buffet.  

I don't know...will he deliver the goods?  He looks like he wants to stay right there among those glistening boughs forever.

Deary me, I hope that I have not caused a problem with any expected deliveries.

He is from our pattern

Little Santa Things.

He is only about 12 inches tall. Don't you love his basket of glittery bells?

I want his leather bag.  Really though...it is only painted and antiqued muslin.

He is so very proud of that bag so let's just keep that information between you and me.

Here is another of my favorite decorations..new this year.

Look at that urn.  I found it on my way home from a show...one of those favorite little shops that you just simply must pop into.  No matter how badly you want to be chugging up that last little hill, rounding that one last bend, and seeing that warmy wonderful front door.  With the cats waiting presumptuously on the front porch.  And someone inside is perhaps making hot chocolate..with whipped cream.  No none of that matters.  That anticipation leaves you like a bat with frenetic wings... when you see that exit sign for that little shop that absolutely cannot be omitted from your travel.

That is what happened on that day.  That day I was a winner.
