This Mid-Century Santa is filling stockings with
joy, including paper dolls and a baby doll, dressed
in a feedsack print style nightie and bonnet. His
bag is spilling over with gifts, while the
Children's pet dog, Blackie has "discovered" the
candy canes! On the mantle, standing beside a
wedding picture of MY grandparents, is a silver
tray with gingerbread man cookies, and a glass of
milk for Santa. Santa is holding a letter written
by little Anthony in one hand and a boat in the
other. The mantle clock is ticking off the minutes,
reminding Santa that he must hurry on his way. In
Santa's bag are 2 checkerboards, a ball and bat,
train engine, flag, and 2 wrapped presents, and
spilling over are a Winnie The Pooh book and a
teddy bear, and a box of Animal Crackers, something
I ALWAYS looked forward to on Christmas morning, as
a child of the 50's!
I built the mantle after being inspired by the
andirons and log bucket and mantle clock that I
found on vacation this past summer.
This is a very large piece, the base is 20" x
20"
Santa is 36" tall, and the mirror is removable
for shipping.
This is a one of a kind piece.
