Here Comes Santa Claus ...  by Weezilou

Here Comes Santa Claus ...

Meet Elizabeth Brown, whose ability to carve is quite exceptional! Best of all, she told me she can't believe she can "go to work" every day, doing something she loves this much! She's at the Lunenburg Farmer's Markets each week, and since taking these photos, now two weeks ago, I noticed that her stock had dwindled considerably! The carved Santa heads were $30, and for her effort & talent, worth every penny I think. I found her work irresistible and that vintage Santa she's holding is going to California with me for Christmas. She does mail order, and, Ken & I would happily recommend her! That smile is genuine, friendly and freely given to all who stop to talk to her about her carving. I told her I'd likely post a collage, so here, at last, it is. She now knows that I'm not "quick" but I'm also not insincere!
It's obvious from your collage, how happy Elizabeth is in her work. Beautiful carvings.

@quietpurplehaze It was fun on that day to watch the children gravitate to her! At one time, she was surrounded. Who knows, in that moment, which child was moved to consider this for him or herself one day!

@lifepause Thanks for the fave, Jae! I saw your area celebrates "Christmas in July"...does it include craft fairs and such?

She certainly looks happy doing what she loves :)

You picked a lovely Santa to take home, and it will bring every memory of Lunenberg back to California with you! What a lovely lady, and so, so talented!! Great collage!

Great collage. Certainly worth $30!

Wonderfully talented lady, by the looks of things! Super collage, and I would like one of those Santas too. A bit far to post, perhaps?!

Great collage - great shots and wonderful carvings.

@jamibann I'D actually asked about posting these. (It does, of course increase the cost!) She said she wraps them in bubble wrap and they fit into a mailing envelope, so the cost is $15. I forgot to mention in the caption that she's made the Santa faces to have the look of a weathered fisherman...a look that is perfect for a Santa from this region!

@Weezilou Wonderful - there is definitely a 'weathered fisherman' look about those faces. :-)

what a very clever lady. Would love to see them all and I love the Santa faces.

What fabulous carvings! And she looks so charming! Lovely collage.

Those are awesome! She carves those herself? Some people are just so talented. Not to mention Christmas will be here before we know it!
