Holiday Tips and Ideas

I've collected all sorts of "tacky plastic" Santas for years. I have several hundred different types of Santas, but when trying to display these particular ones, they were usually lost in the tree or on the shelf.

Last year I bought a large size grapevine wreath, grabbed my hot glue gun and got busy! Some collectors might feel this could damage some pieces, but I decided to go for it anyway. I love the display, it hangs on a door near my computer. These cheerful faces brighten up my December days.

Here is a closeup of the wreath.
