Collecting Chalkware Santas from Vaillancourt
For over twenty five years, the Vaillancourt family has been making Santas. The recipe is simple, take an historic collection of chocolate moulds, add an apparent love of the holidays, involve the entire family and the results are apparent.

Bethany Lowe Designs
Terrific vintage-look pieces for every holiday, I was particularly excited with the Halloween designs. The collection of reproduction Halloween was well researched and nicely done. It should appeal to collectors of both vintage and new Halloween folk art. Vintage Halloween is rapidly becoming out of reach for many collectors and the Bethany Lowe collection can easily satisfy the "need" for the vintage look, but at very affordable prices.

Antique, Vintage and Plastic Santa Claus Figures
Antique Santas are very collectible as evidenced by the prices at antique shows and shops. It pays to do a little research if you are looking for the very old pieces. Some of the materials used to make the antique Santas include bits of cotton batting, paper mache, chenille, twigs and die cut scraps. There are also old glass light bulbs, tin toys and blown glass ornaments.

Bavarian Heritage
From Coyne's & Co, the Bavarian Heritage Collection of Santas are gorgeous and, although they are inexpensive, these Santas have the look of the much more expensive pieces.
