Thomas Pacconi Table Top Figures.

lucymo — Sun, 11 Dec 2016 02:39:52 GMT

14" Santa.

16" Santa

14" Snowman.

16" Snowman.

16" Santa & Snowman.

16" tree. I have a second tree that is similar to this one.

Carolers.

Church.

I also have the second tree, Teddy Bear, Nutcracker and Santa & Mrs. Claus. When I put the pictures on the computer they were too blurred to post here.

Who else has these pieces? I fell in love with them and went overboard and now don't use them very often. I still think they are beautiful and will keep them. I found the quality to be better in the first pieces TP brought to QVC than in the later ones.

You are fortunate to have them. Absolutely adorable. Nothing like that anymore on the Q.

@lucymo They are wonderful. I never saw these because either I didn't have cable then, or wasn't watching the Christmas shows as I was shopping elsewhere.

Do I see another tree, or is this the one you posted?

As usual, some ornament boxes didn't get brought upstairs, so tomorrow we go on a hunt, again. It's difficut to decorate a tree without all ornaments and picks being laid out, so I only decorated a fourth of the tree today.

@kjaeThank you, they really are beautiful. I've bought so much Christmas decor that I don't have space to use a lot of it so I try to rotate each year. You know, they aren't lit either, came before 'everything needs batteries'. I love my lit pieces but these look good without being lit, has vibrant colors.

@mousiegirl This tree is the one I posted. I'm about to run out of time to do much more.

I have to make cookies and candy for DH and my Sunday School classes this week. We have a breakfast and then some will come here afterward to see what I've done this year. I hate to say they may be disappointed as not as much as previous years. I finally figured out I can only be in one place at a time and I'm less stressed that way.

I don't remember what years I bought all of the Thomas Pacconi stuff including all of the ornaments that are still in their boxes, never used. Sorry you missed out, they are beautiful in person.

I know what you mean about the ornaments. I have to sort everything out by size and color before I start on the tree. Hope you find all of them or you'll be going shopping for things that you already have. Been there, done that. lol

@proudlyfromNJ Thank you. I used to live in Pemberton and Wrightstown, NJ. We were stationed at McGuire AFB and had two tours there. What a great place, near NYC, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and lots of good to shop or just visit.

@lucymo

I have the tree & snowman. I gave the tree to my friend who is my closest friend mom (she's 85) and she was bringing hers out and dropped it. I knew she loved it and it was her tree as she is in smaller place now, so I surprised her & gifted to her.

I love all his pieces I have many ornaments and pieces from Q. (Boy do I miss those old days of Q). I display my snowman every year - Oh, and I used to live in the Princeton, NJ area and still have family who live in Columbus (near McGuire) gee we could have been neighbors!

That was one piece I always regretted not buying. I think about it every year. Lol.

Your pictures just reminded me again how pretty they were - and a substantial size too

@lucymo - I bought a large santa and a gingerbread house. I also bought several sets of the ornaments that came in the wooden crates. I haven't brought them out in years, but they are well made and beautiful. I love your collection.

I have the ornament sets in the crates as well. Those little ornaments are so beautiful, but fragile. I haven't used mine in years as I have dogs and cats and doubt the ornaments would survive. Eventually I hope to give a crate to each of my children, but not until their children are much older!

@homedecor1 I wish we are neighbors now, what fun we would have with all of our decor habits.

So sad that your Mom broke her tree. I also got the second tree TP brought in and it's very similar to the first one but not as pretty, IMO. I could decorate with this collection and a few candles and greens but I keep buying every year.

lucymo, this is such a beautiful collection I love it all and I do not own any Thomas Pacconi. I really love the snowmen.

How kind of you ! I love your black snowman. Somehow this year I have been loving snowmen.

Beautiful collection! I remember seeing Thomas Paconi items but never bought them. Wish the Q carried stuff like that now.

Your Thomas Pacconi pieces are beautiful!!!! That's the kind of show and merchandise that used to make watching QVC fun during the Christmas decorating season......... Enjoy your wonderful pieces!!!

I purchased his large nativity set (which is on loan to my sister) it's beautiful....And I also have a large jewelry chest he sold too excellent quality......I also purchased an ornament set for my aunt too....I miss his shows....

Love your Thomas Pacconi large tabletop pieces! One of my family members has some of the originals... Santa, snowman, Church, tree...and does a lovely display on a sofa table in her living room each year.

I've heard that many prefer the earlier pieces to those produced later. Is it because the earlier ones were more vibrant in color? Is it easy to tell the earlier snowman from the later?

Love TP pieces, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful collection. Love Snowmen. Thanks for sharing.
