It's Snowing here  ~  11/7/2014

My home and shoppe are in the Hill of West Virginia.  We are between Pennsylvania and Ohio.  We have the best of all 3 worlds.  I am so excited that it is snowing. 

I have 3 Santas going to spend Christmas in New York.  What lucky little fellows.  I am feverishly working on toys and other Santa necessities.  I like to add a few surprises that the customer does not know they are getting.

 I love these vintage and antique post cards and pictures I post. 

 * With this card, I decided I was going to use it for money  or gift cards. 

 I will print out the card on photo paper and then slit the bottom of his bag.  You can see a line in the bag already.  Then I will glue a card stock paper behind it.  Just glue around the edges.  You can then slip the money or gift card right up inside Santa's bag. 

How about you try it also and I will post the pictures.  

Merry Christmas,   Dolores Koper

  

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 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
