Since her childhood days in Rogersville, Missouri, Louise has never outgrown her belief in and love of Santa Claus. In 1995, she started collecting Santa dolls, and in 1998 she took her very first class and started making Santas as gifts for friends and family members. Since then, she has taken several more classes and continues to add new styles to her collection each year. Making collectible Santas has combined her love of sewing, designing, decorating and Christmas into each and every Santa creation.
Her husband Wendell is a very talented craftsman as well. He enjoys many woodworking projects, but his most favorite pastime is designing and building the wooden armatures for each Santa. He especially enjoys making the guns, fishing rods, fish, bows, arrows, staffs, skis, etc. He is very creative and helps Louise with many ideas for new Santa styles.
We do not reproduce any of our Santas, but we can make a similar Santa if there is a particular one that you like in the Santa Gallery. They are all hand crafted from the finest fabrics and vintage furs. (All furs are recycled)
NOTE: Some Santas can be personalized, or we can make Santas to your specific specifications, using your ideas, fabrics, or vintage fur coats, etc.
