What a special treasure. How beautiful it is. Enjoy your day.
Dear Terra, Your Santa Claus is absolutely delightful and will, no doubt take pride of place in your festive decorations. It certainly would in mine. Lovely!!
She is very talented!
I think that Santa is really cute! I haven't picked out any new Christmas decor--although I do plan to put up something my mother gave me. Which is, incidentally, a painted Santa. Wild.
It is so cute, how sweet of her to pass it on to you. I have several new ornaments this year and I am sure I will find something to add to my collection before Christmas comes.
I love all the looks of vintage Christmas and see myself heading back towards this trend. I love your hand painted Santa, truly unique and one of a kind.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
That is beautiful! :) Enjoy!
Hi, Terra,
Your friend is certainly a talented artist. I know you will love that marvelous Santa in your home for many, many Christmases. I have a tole painted Santa that I love, too. I keep him on my wall all year long because he brings such a smile to my face. Hope you are having a lovely autumn weekend, my friend~love always~Vicki
I haven't thought about it yet! I love Christmas time though. That Santa you have in the picture is wonderful. Sanide
Terra - I love this painted Santa. I'm kinda partial to an old-fashioned Christmas, and this wooden Santa would fit right in!! My husband and I are fans of all things "western" - so we try to add at least a few new ornaments a year - horses, or saddles, or saddles, etc! And then it's fun to decide which of my stuffed animals gets to be the "angel" on the top of the tree!!
(p.s. Thank you so much for visiting my blog earlier! And I so appreciate your comments).
GOD BLESS!
Oh what a wonderful treasure from your friend. I'm always adding to my hoard I mean treasures.

What a lovely gift. I love Christmas things that have a special meaning.
I haven't thought about Christmas decor yet, but this year will be much happier. Last year was the first Christmas holiday without my Mom and it was hard.
This Christmas I will put some of her ornaments on the tree and join my family for a real celebration.
You'll be ready for Christmas if you are beginning to think about it now. I'm immersed in Fall right now.

Your santa is beautiful! I love having handmade decorations from friends and family - makes me think of them each time I look at the decoration!
Such a beautiful Santa! What a treasure for your friend to have made it for you. From your profile, I see we have a lot in common - not least being Christmas, animals, and writing! Please join me at history blog about St. Nicholas and Christmas. I'd love to have you!

Don't know what I will add yet, but I always do, although trust me, I shouldn't!! Very cute Santa!
Thanks for viewing my family home post, Terra. My cousins, 3 of them who never got married, live there now with some maids. They grew up there cause their mom, my aunt, was the one who stayed with my grandma there when they were both alive. The corporation consisting of 5 families including us maintain it....Christine
A beautiful treasure. Lucky you! Terra you are a remarkable friend. Anne
Oh, he is so pretty, and especially wonderful that the artist is a friend. laurie
