Happy Halloween

 

Just a few of my favorite memories. 

  After this it is all Santa and Snowmen..........

St. Nick, before he goes away.  Why do I get so attached to them?  

St Nick carries a bag of gold. Actually gold, vintage, Mercury Glass Beads.  He tosses these into the window of young women who want to marry but have no dowry.  

     St Nick getting ready to go to Virginia for Christmas

St Nick is almost ready to go to Virginia for Christmas 2014.  His bags are packed and I am bundling him up good for the journey.This Santa has a wool sweater under his vestments.  It has 4 contrasting buttons.  I know you won't see it but I like them to be made nice. 

 

Wonderful Old Postcards

Old book covers and postcards   

I can close my eyes and see this image in my head.

What a good girls she must have been.

I love Santa

He will be here pretty soon.

I needed a face for a Snowlady, Grandma Frost, Mrs Santa.  

While my slacks were in the dryer I sat down and did this face in 50 minutes.  It still needs some refinement but I had to come up with something new for several orders.  I could even make it a Santa.  

Snowlady, Miss Frost, Mrs Santa?  What do you think?


Merry Christmas, D Koper

Like a kid on Christmas morning.   

I just could not wait to get into this box.  Besides, the mail man left it on the porch and did not ring the bell and it sat there for a whole day.  : (

I just love the chenille Santas that I got.  The mellow color of the vintage mercury glass beads are so wonderful.
