Thomas Kinkade Christmas Santas


Rather than put my library ladder away for the holidays,   I decided to use it in my holiday decor.     In my eyes,    I could see it as a mountain with a village of Putz houses  at different levels on the mountain.  
 I strung aqua lights around the ladder and added a small  white tree in the back  and a small pink bottle brush  tree in the front.    I wrapped  snowy white garland around the ladder legs where the light wire showed......just a finishing detail.

This is the top of my mountain    I have two church Putz houses , a forest of trees,  a blanket of snow,  and Thomas Kinkade Santas.
The Thomas Kinkade Santas that you will see scattered throughtout my village are a auction purchase from back in the summer.     I bought a "lot" of about 10 boxes of Christmas decor for $7.50    ( you can't give Christmas stuff away in the summer...lol)  One of the boxes contained all of these beautiful Santas.
Each Santa has a Thomas Kinkade winter scene painted on his coat.....
Take a trip down the mountain.....












I try to display my Christmas decor in a different way each year......here the Putz houses are on the mantle in our bedroom last year.

  2. Penny-- What a wonderful tribute to Kincaid. It is so sad what his life came to when he was such a talented man. His life was lived so at odds with what he professed. A life and talent that left us way too soon. It is lovely- xo Diana

I have those same Putz Houses for Target and this year, i painted some Snow on them......I am trying to work on the DR and LR but my knee is hindering that even though it is feeling better......

  7. Penny, how on earth did you collect so much!! It's like a huge department store with every possible Christmas pretty one could want..all in one place. I only have the one Kinkade painting and I love it. I never even knew the Santa's existed. They are lovely. Gorgeous! My eyes would be on a swivel were I in your home. I don't know what to look at first..just beautiful!! I see things I've longed for. I never pass a photo without enlarging it. Thank you for giving us such a treat! Your posts make my day!!!

  9. The santas are beautiful but those gorgeous glitter houses behind the santas make me swoon!

  10. Wow penny, you got a steal on those Santas! Can you imagine how much just one of them cost when newly purchased? I knew you would do something fun with that ladder for Christmas. I put my Dept. 56 houses on a ladder one year and it was fun. I am like you and enjoy changing things up from year to year. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
