If you've read some of my other blogs, you know that I love collecting House of Hatten Santas.
I've been fortunate to pick up a few this year off eBay for very reasonable prices. One particular style is that of Judie Tasch.
I paid a rather decent amount on both the Santa in the white robe and the Santa in the green robe, but I made up for up when I purchased the smaller ornament with a lot of other collectible Santas.
Judie Tasch is an amazing folk artist who crafts beautiful vintage style dolls with simple and subtly expressive faces. This is one of her originals. Unfortunately, I have house payments, so he's not in my collection, but I have a few with the same "face" that I love. I wish I had more to say about her but apparently she's very illusive and I found little about the actual artist available online.
Either way, enjoy looking at her beautiful work. If you get the chance (and your house is paid for), why not add one of her originals to your collection!

I've added a nutcracker made in Germany who was rather pricey and deserved a place of honor.
