Ozarkian Santa
Carrie's Toys, Wreath, Cane and Wears a Red Hat
August 06, 2012
Hello! Today here
in Virginia
Don't you think that the time seems to
pass us by so quickly? Here summer vacation is over, school started
this week and August brings thoughts of fall.
Don't you think with all of the hustle and bustle of getting every thing that we must accomplish each day the
Holidays sneak up on us before we know what has happened?
I know many
people take advantage of special sales to do their Holiday
shopping, I know I do. Shopping online saves me so much time and it has become
so convenient for me that except for some very special items it is the best way
to go.
There are some
things that you can only buy from special suppliers…Say for instance, for any
one who takes the time to drink in their surroundings, knows how much the
little things matter.
A a fragrance that you love, your favorite place on the couch,
a picture of the kids on the book shelf that you stop to melt over and when you’re
dusting or lighting the candles or watching TV.
But little things do matter! Something that
you may think of as a luxury would be a beautiful piece of art that would last
a life time and would bring much pleasure to you or for a gift for some one
that you love.
Several years
ago I made a line of figurine Santa Claus's and I sold them on line, (if you
put my name in Google you may still fine places where I sold the Santa's
figurines.)
I did have 6 Santa figurines left but one sold and now I have 5 and they are now for sale here on Etsy...Yes little things do matter!
This is an Ozarkian Villager Santa, he carries toys in a bag, he holds a green wreath and wears a Red Hat
Gloves are Black
His Gown is Yellow Ocher and wears a deep Red Coat with white fur trim.
He has been finished wit a deep coat of Burnt Umber to give him and antiqued finish.
From tip of hat to his bottom he measures 13 inches
From side to side across bottom he measures 8 inches
He has an information tag hanging from the green wreath.
My signature is on his bottom and he was made in 1993.
His name is Villager
He has been sculpted from Celuclay and is very strong and sturdy.
He has been painted with the best acrylic paint that I can buy.

To dust him just
use a soft cloth, BUT PLEASE do not wash him with water if you take care of him
he will last forever.
I don't' think of my Santa figurines as being toys, he will always increase in value
