Hi Kel: Do you have Valerie's Santa and Reindeer from last year.I think the item number is H201179??  I looked at it but didn't get it last year but I see there are still some available.  

---

I can't believe those are available. I received it as a gift, I think year before last, and I absolutely love mine (got the Santa and reindeer). 

I bought her set of three vintage pieces a couple of years ago, that are done in the same finish, one was kids decorating a tree, kids sledding, and kids building a snowman. I really like that vintage looking style, and the quality of all my pieces are really, really nice. I wish Valerie would bring more things in this style and design.

---

Mousie - I know what set you are talking about! I bought them on Ebay this last winter and love them! I love any of those vintage inspired pieces!

---

Hi kel, I have the Angels and the Santa & Reindeer.  I always find a place to use them.  I first got the santa several years ago when Valerie first brought them and I use every year.

Lucy - I have those angels too! HOwever, this last winter when i was taking them down, sadly (because i was klutzy!) one fell to the floor and the wing on it shattered - i was sooo upset! first thing i did was run to the computer to see if she had any left, but ofcourse not! fortunately, I was able to somewhat salvage the wing and put it together so when it is displayed on myself, you cannot see it. I am thinking these are not coming back anymore.

---

Aw, that's so frustrating when that happens.  With the texture of them the repair probably isn't that noticeable.  Speaking of klutzy, a couple of years ago I was putting batteries in one of the MG trees and stuck my hand right through the base of the tree.  The glass is very thin so just slivers and no  repair.  I have to turn it to the wall as it has a missing gap of glass. 

---

and it was just one of those things, I had one angel in hand taking her down and in the other hand I was in the process of taking a pick down. so which one do I try to save... yep the pick that is unbreakable!

oh wow! you didn't cut your hand did you??!

No, no cut on my hand.  I wonder how that happened as I live with "Murphy's Law".  I'm glad the pick survived the ordeal. LOL

Hi MTH - Actually the one I have is H196720. The pic is kind of funny because the bottle brush tree is blocking his face, but you can bend it back and see his face clearly when it is displayed - I just love it! I actually love this one so much that I have a "mini" of it that I found at HL one year.  The santa/reindeer you posted my mom actually has and puts it up every year; love that one too! I would LOVE to see your JS santas if you post pics this year. Actually I hope a lot of people post pics this year. I love looking at others' decorations!

---

Hi Kel: Sorry it is taking me so long to see this post....I saw the same one you have at HL last year. I was surprised to see that it was about the same. I saw it was less expensive and you mentioned it was "mini" compared to the one you bought here.  Other than that, it looked the same to me. Glad you have them both.  Thx for the info on the one I mentioned that yoru Mom has.  I always loved that reindeer.  I have added to my JS Santa collection substantially in the past few years so I will take a pic when I get them set up and post it.  I usually display them all together on a sideboard table and this year will be adding the scroll design reindeer Jill Bauer presented during CIJ to that display. They have that natural look that will match well with the JS pieces.
