As nezzie said "Oh my goodness glory girlfriend" I was thinkin' the same thing...only mine went more like HOLY S**%T That's some santa collection!! (Sorry but that's the truth) Killer Laurie!! Is that large santa head papier mache? He looks like a real oldie.

Enjoyed seeing your Santa collection.
I had a collection years ago (not as many as yours), and during one of my downsizing times, I gave away and sold them in yardsales, etc.. Have only a couple left, as just don't have the room.
Pouring rain and dreary here. Sure hate that the temps are going to drop again.
Enjoy your weekend.

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Your Santa collection is amazing. They are all so beautiful.

Sue said...

I need to start adding to my Santa collection, once again. Otherwise, how could I possible ever rival yours?! LOL Yours are all so wonderfully fun, Laurie. Merry Merry~ Sue

Johanna Gehrlein said...

Hello Laurie,
you own a spectacular collection of Santas. I was sure that it exist many more than just one Santa Claus, because one could never do all this work dureing one night. But now I know where they are the whole year. Guess, they are very busy in the Holy Night. Really handsome guys in your hutch, one nicer than the next.
I join today your blog party. Thank you for hosting this nice event.

Greetings, Johanna

Sarah said...

I'm guessing you home is Santa's favorite stop. Wonder how long he lingers taking it all in? LOL
Honestly, Laurie, I want to take a December trip to visit your home during the holidays someday. The two trees are glorious and the hutch of Santa friguress brings on BIG smiles. I had to study each one. Such fun to see the different expressions on each sweet face. You have so many wonderful examples. The one with Santa feeding the reindeer is my favorite. I love his bald head, but the reindeer nestled under his arm to get the corn is one of the sweetest figures I've ever seen. I image your grandchildren and all the other little ones in town must beg to be at your home during the holidays.
Hope you are enjoying beautiful weather and some fun holiday parties. Thinking of you, my friend! ~ Sarah

You have and amazing collection! And the header picture of the mantel and trees is stunning. If all of that is from bargain hunting, believe me, I want to go shopping with you!
