Folk Art Snowman w battery powered lamp post
A 15 1/2" tall snowman is leaning against an 18" tall lamp post, this measures 11" wide.. The snowman is made of cotton flannel and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. He's lightly coffee stained and has embroidered eyes and mouth and a painted, wooden dowel, carrot nose. The snowman wears a coat of 2 shades of blue and 2 shades of gray wool fabric in a small plaid design. His scarf is 2 shades of blue flannel plaid. the same fabric I used for the band on his felt top hat. The Lamp post is a redesigned, recycled patio light and measures 6" in diameter. I altered it so it holds a battery operated candle that uses 2 AA batteries (included). The snowman is actually stitched to the lamp.

Bird in the hand Snowman
With winter comes the need for our fine feathered friends to find a warm cozy home in which to hunker down in to sit out the cold winter months. Our cardinal is busy negotiating a warm resting spot in our snowman's broom, a perfect place to build his nest. Based on the smile on our snowman's face, I would say it's a "yes".
Our snowman stands approximately 12" high, has a black top hat, scarf and warm wool vest. We used a 4" antique square head rusty nail for his nose, doll joints for his eyes, embellished him with rusty bells and pins and gave him a grapevine broom in one hand and our 3" red cardinal friend in the other.
Bird in the Hand is handmade by me, Laura Hakes, the original designer. He will come to you signed and dated, with a rusty heart on his vest, indicating he is an original Fiddlestix Design.

Handpainted Sewing Machine Drawer Christmas Scene
The evenings are always special here at Snowy Hollow Farm ... quiet & peaceful with a comforting blanket of snow : ) This antique sewing machine drawer is painted with a wintery scene ... perfect for the holidays but it can also be displayed throughout the winter season. It is OOAK.
The side of the drawer is painted with an adaptation of a Terrye French design. There's a full white winter moon rising over a lightly snow dusted landscape. Two little saltbox houses sleep among the leafless trees and a full coated sheep is in the foreground. The box is filled with snow dusted greenery, berries and pine cones. There's an altered book with a reprint of a vintage postcard decoupaged to its front and a snow trimmed lantern where a small battery operated flickering tea light casts a gentle glow. Measures approx 15 inches x 5 inches x 13 inches.
