More Santa Sightings

After sharing my convention of Santas on my front porch I think it is only fitting to share those that live inside.

 

The banner hanging behind the Santas I got on Etsy from Amy at Vintage Home.  Totally makes these guys a bit more festive and ready to ho, ho, ho!

 

These three jolly fellows stand guard next to this charming letter from 1930 (it came with the original envelope as well). 

In my kitchen I have a great built-in.  These santas live in a pink and red candyland, full of lollipops and candy filled jars. (sorry about the photo glare)

I bought the little cutie in the pink suit this year from Jenny at Polka Dot Pixie.  He is perfectly at home with his new friends.

I opened the cabinet door so you could get a better peek. I love the humpty dumpty looking santa on the bottom shelf (above the lollipops) in the center.

How could I love Santa and not collect Santa mugs?  51 and counting.  They live in my china hutch.  I try and not collect duplicates and it is amazing how many different faces they have.  Winky eyes, jeweled eyes, pitchers...you name it I probably have it.

I also collect cardboard Santas that used to be part of store displays.  They are cardboard and usually have a stand on the back.  They range in height from a foot or so tall to about 4 foot.  Their happy expressions just make me smile.

I collect vintage santa faces.  My basement is home to this collection.  This light up Santa is one of my favorites and greets you as you head down the steps.

This guy is made of some type of natural material. He is about 3 foot tall and hangs from a door.

  An assortment of Santas hang from some cabinet doors.

And last but not least this Styrofoam head (about 3 feet tall).  Crazy Santa collection huh?  I think I need to ask the bearded guy for more storage space this year!

Your collection is great Laurie! I love your built in cupboard in the kitchen, it looks great all decked out with Santas! Those old Santa faces remind me of some my family had growing up, my mom has some those old Santa mugs too, though not quite so many as you. The Farm Chicks are working on a Christmas book, you should let them know you are the queen of vintage Christmas if they need any props for their photos!

Thank you for opening the cupboard door, because I loved looking inside. I think I'm inspired to collect more Santa mugs. (My husband says thanks a lot.)
