ho, ho, ho - mosiac monday

hand carved treasures

where santa came from!

I have been collecting hand carved Santas for many years. A guy in our small town creates these little master pieces and I've kept him in extra Christmas money for some time! These are a few of my favorites!

This is my entry for "Mosaic Monday" - go by Mary's place and check out all the other fun mosaics.

The hand carved Santas are just beautiful. If I was there I would be buying them too, he must be very talented. I love your header and the wonderful Santa ornament photos.

The faces on your Santas make me think they all need a hug. Nice mosaic.

For years I have collected Santas-- the legends from all around the world are so charming.

Yours are ones i could borrow :) or maybe just forget to return.

May you and your family enjoy this blessed time of the year! Merry Christmas!

Your carved tree Santa's are wonderful! And it's so nice that you know the artist. I think that makes collecting them so much more special.
