My friend Melanie makes these phenomenal Santas out of all sort of antique and vintage goods. Everywhere you look, there is something fun to look at and each one is a different theme. She hand crafts each face and the hands so every jolly fellow has a unique expression.
Enjoying going through your world this morning. Love the family photo near the top. And this Santa is so cute. I would like to use it for inspiration in putting together one for my Mother. She has a 'Tea Time' tree she puts up in her breakfast room and he would be a perfect addition. Loved what you said about SOMEDAY. Blessings, Candy
I am a wife, mother, mosaic artist, microbiologist,antique dealer,and gypsy soul living in the beautiful state of Colorado. My life keeps me busy, but happy.
My sons entertain and inspire me with their energy and joie de vivre. Sometimes, being a middle aged mom, they wear me out, but I've never regretted one moment we've been together.
In 2004, my son, who was 4 at the time, was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. He had to undergo over 3 years of chemotherapy to get better. I'm happy to report that he is doing well, but the experience was life changing. I realized that "someday" is a luxury that not everyone will get to enjoy. So, with a new paradigm, I have embarked upon the artistic journey that I dreamed of doing SOMEDAY. I love making mosaic art, selling antiques, and dreaming of that beautiful, antique, French inspired space, with lots of glamour, grace, and, of course, a healthy dose of Legos on the floor along with a little Army man or two. This is, after all, reality! Live your dream, but keep it real.
