December Offerings

Seasons Greetings! I hope you like my offerings below.  All made with love and some of my favorite things....a bit of the old, and a bit of outdoors. Unfortunately it is dark and rainy, so the pictures are not the best quality, but I will try and update them as soon as I can.  Please email me should you have any questions or are interested in anything: jenntavoletti@gmail.com 

...and please send snow!

Wishing you and your family a very happy and joyful Christmas season.

All my best, Jenn xo

Father Christmas and White-Tailed Deer

An old soul. Always my favorite type of Santa to create.

Lots of time and details in this pair.    

Santa is dressed in a gray wool coat, adorned with antique quilt batting. His hood is lined with early homespun, which has two rusty bells attached. His needle-felted beard is wool sourced from a local farm. 

Santa is 11" tall, gusseted and weighted with walnut hulls.  He is holding a branch of blue-berried preserved cedar that came from another local business here in PA.

Santa's white-tailed deer is my rendition of one of of the many that roam the gardens in summer, and sleep in our side yard in the winter. He is 6 1/2" tall and 8" long.  His antlers are from an old mulberry tree.

His coat is the same gray wool and antique homespun as Santa's.  He wears a rusty jingle bell collar.

They are sold ~ thank you!
This set is $159.00, which includes priority mail shipping.

Grain Sack Snowman Winter

Mister Winter is 13" tall, gusseted and weighted with walnut hulls.  One of a kind, he is made from an antique sack that has a wash of white over it.  

You can still see some old wording on the back.

His face is sewn, and is wearing a brown scarf made from an antique Amish buggy throw.

He is sold ~ thank you!
This set is $54.00, which includes priority mail shipping.

He is holding a little wreath with a vintage Christmas bell. 

Standing 10" tall, he is weighted on the bottom with walnut hulls so that he can stand alone.  He's just the right size to tuck into a cupboard or shelf.  

An original design. Early style Santa is $60.00 which includes shipping within the US.  All others, please inquire via email.
HE IS SOLD ~ THANK YOU!
