The Collection Begins

December 9, 2014
  Our Santa collection began the first year we were married.  When Dave and I were in the U.S. Navy and stationed in Adak, Alaska, we would often go to the ceramic shop and create items to go in our future homes.  The bright red colored Santa, just to the right of the lamp on the left, was the first Santa in my collection.  I created him in 1976.  Each year we usually add at least one more.  Sometimes I find several at a time at a garage sale, thrift store, or antique show.

   Christopher Lowell was the first person that I knew of who had a show dedicated to home decorating and entertaining.  I loved that show!  He said that displaying collections en masse makes more of a statement, than spreading them around here and there.  They can easily be overlooked when displayed singly but group them together and they won’t be missed.

   He was right!  Although I have other Santas displayed individually on the armoire, on tables, etc., most are here on the sideboard; they do make an impact, don’t they?
