What an adorable Santa! Perfect for your kitchen. And I must say, I'm TOTALLY in love with the teacups on your wreath. I collect old/vintage teacups, and what a wonderful way to display them. Beautiful!

DEAR TINA,
THAT IS AN ADORABLE SANTA AND MAY THE LORD BLESS THE SOCKS RIGHT OFF YOUR SISTER,KATHY'S FEET.
THE TEA CUPS ON THE WREATH ARE JUST...WELL YOU GET THE CHRISTMAS CAKE, I WILL TELL YOU...FOR JUST THE "RIGHT" TOUCHES AND THE BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.....INCLUDING THE LITTLE ROSEMARY WREATH WITH THE LITTLE BOW...SO SWEET...
HAVE A BLESSED EVENING

Cute, cute!
I've been meaning to tell you, ever since I saw your post on the cute red and white bowls, that Target has some that would be so sweet with the ones you got. They have kitchen words on them -- red and white. Try target.com
