My house is being taken over by Santa's!!
My Xmas tree is covered in them!!
Here is a small collection.


Lots of different resin Santa's.


l have a dozen's of  different one's of these all over the tree.

Hand painted Santa's.
This one was bought in Austria.







Wood Santa's.

Glass Santa's.



Then we have the Santa candle holder.


A pewter Santa.


Hand made Santa's.


Candle Santa's.

Santa's bought at craft market's.

Hand stitched Santa's.

Santa Head's.

l even buy Christmas cards with Santa on them.

Then there is my collection of Jim Shore Santa's.



This is my kitchen dresser, full of Santa's.

And more Santa's here.

The lovely Santa at the back came home from Houston with me.

Even my girlfriends have got in on the act.
The blue, red and green Santa's were hand made for me as special gifts.
l treasure them!!

And last year Bev stitched this Santa for me. Another treasure.

l wonder what Santa will be added to my collection next?

Thanks for visiting.
Linda.

  5. I have a very similar Santa collection.....but not quite as many, I should say! I always call them 'Father Christmas'....I'm not quite sure why, but I'm guessing my aunts used to call the old-fashioned looking ones that. I like that!

    Have a very merry Christmas!

  6. Love your Santa collection. I have a few myself but not as many as you. The Charles Dickens quote is one I love. Have a merry Christmas in Oz & looking forward to your next post. PS - love the quilt in the background.

  9. The Santa's are so beautiful!!! I've been collecting Santa's for my mom for a long time.
    Have you ever noticed that some of the Santa's out in the market have the "Wrong" face? My criteria for Santa's have to have both the "Right face and if there are hands, have to have the Right hands?"

    Thank you for sharing your collection.

  10. I was going to say "I think I got more", but as I scrolled down, I don't think so ;) I do love all your Jim Shore's, but I love the big dark red Belsnickles. Beautiful!
    Merry Christmas!
