My salt glaze Santa collection grew considerably this year. Friend Melissa gifted me with a half dozen of the little guys. I also found an Eldreth Santa at a local antique mall. I was so happy to find him at super price. I only have 2 others made by this potter. Well, can you believe the one I bought was one I already had? Go figure.
I decided to do a little antiquing today and this little vintage papier mache Santa came home with me. Antique pox ~ a disease for which there is no cure.
Bobbie, the Evening Stitcher has inspired me to pick up my needle and do a little cross stitch. A sweet little pattern by Pineberry Lane.
Tomorrow I'm off with Ernestine to wrap gifts for a few hours to benefit Ohio Pug Rescue. I still have a few things to pick up at the grocery store and of course a little Swiffering and dusting. Christmas Eve day my son will fly in. Life is good.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

ReplyDeleteFirst off, I love your Santa and Pug finish from your last post (I'm behind on blog reading once again!). I bet the recipient loves it! Love your Santa collection -- wow! Your stitching looks like fun! I do wonder when the stitching mojo will ever return for me? I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteI have just one salt glaze santa but I love your collection. So funny I picked up a cross stitch kit just recently I have no idea why I thought I could do it at work I think during the slow months. I haven't cross stitched in 20 years.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas my sweet friend enjoy your time with your boys

Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎄
