#ch1037 – CARDBOARD SNOW COUPLE AND TWO SANTAS - $30.00

THESE PAPER CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ARE SO NICE – THEY’RE COLORFUL AND THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS OUTSTANDING! THERE’S A HANDSOME SNOWMAN AND HIS LOVELY LADY FRIEND – NOTICE THAT HER PURSE IS OPEN BECAUSE SHE JUST REMOVED HER HANDKERCHIEF! BOTH ARE IN WONDERFUL CONDITION – THE TIP OF HIS CANE HAS SUSTAINED A BEND AND THEY EACH HAVE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TINY THUMBTACK HOLE AT THE BOTTOM. BOTH HAVE A PRODUCTION HOLE IN THEIR HATS AND WOULD BE VERY PRETTY WITH A COLORFUL RIBBON STRUNG THROUGH AND HUNG AS ORNAMENTS ON A TREE, ETC. I ALWAYS STOOD THEM AMONG THE GREENERY ON THE MANTLE WHERE THEY LOOKED RIGHT AT HOME WITH A GURLEY LAMPPOST CANDLE BETWEEN THEM.

THE OTHER TWO PAPER (LIGHT WEIGHT CARDBOARD) DECORATIONS ARE CLASSIC SANTAS! ONE IS A SANTA FACE AND THE OTHER IS A FULL FIGURE SANTA COMPLETE WITH HIS SACK OF TOYS. THESE SANTA ARE THEY STYLE USED IN COLA COMMERCIALS. I ALWAYS DISPLAYED THEM WITH POINSETTIAS ON A MARBLE TOP TABLE. LOVELY.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY THESE AS MUCH AS I HAVE – THEY’RE WONDERFUL ADDITIONS TO A CHRISTMAS COLLECTION!
