They're made by Enesco and called Heartwood Creek. Available in gift shops like Hallmark or several places online, including ebay, and even Kaufmann's by me started to carry them.

Last year I bought the large Nativity with creche, holy family, animals, shepards and wise men. Also the Santa with sleigh and 3 reindeer.

After cleaning out for our garage sale in early December, I really pared down on a lot of our Christmas decorations. So, I've kind of treated myself to some new items. I seem to mostly like the Christmas items and snowmen. I figure I can leave the snowmen sit out all winter.

At after Christmas sales this year, I was able to find the 12 Days of Christmas ornaments and a large 31" snowman for 1/2 price!

I also have a scarecrow for the fall and two pieces for Easter. I don't care for any of the angels, personally. I think I'm really drawn to his work because of the use of color and also because I'm a quilter and love fabric and colors. But I'm really not into country at all, so I was suprised that I liked these items so much.

Guess I just needed a break from spending ALL of my money on AG!
