The Folk Art Santa

The first Folk Art Santa was fashioned by a skilled artisan around 1987 as a special holiday gift for his wife. Since she was an artisan as well, the next year they worked together to produce Santas as holiday gifts for their family and friends. Soon these matchless inventions became a favorite family tradition.

Around that time there was a general upsurge in the folk art movement, and the Folk Art Santa soon became the most emulated Christmas art form anywhere. Its popularity was overshadowed by few concepts besides Santa Claus himself.

In the Folk Art Santa at Down Home Crafts and Such Auctiva, that tradition is borne out. Every detail is carefully seen to before the mold is cast, and the colors are meticulously painted on. The finished Santa is then packed and shipped with as much care as with the making of it.

When you purchase it from me, I will double pack its box into a larger box and fill the larger box with packing foam. You will receive as beautiful a Christmas memento as you will get this year.

Come visit us for your Christmas treasures and many other quality products at reasonable prices.

Happy Shopping!
