Primitive Santa Doll + Halloween Fun

Santa Claus is comin’ to town! I just added this new primitive doll to the Old World Primitives Etsy shop – a robed Santa carrying a Christmas stocking. The sweet annie in Santa’s stocking came from Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm in Pennsylvania (I never miss their delightful Harvest Festival).

Although I have started making Christmas items already, I am still having fun getting into the Halloween spirit and enjoying the season. Last night I went to the Great Jack-O’-Lantern Blaze in Hudson Valley, NY. It featured over 4,000 individually hand-carved, illuminated pumpkins on display in the form of dinosaurs, pirates, snakes, spiders, mummies, an undersea aquarium, grave angels (my favorite part!) and more. Below are some of the photos that I took at the event that came out well enough to be recognizable (it was dark and spooky! which meant that sadly many of my favorite parts of the display didn’t photograph well).

Victorian Style Santa Ornaments

WSOAPP turned one year old yesterday – Happy Anniversary, WSOAPP! For our anniversary launch I listed a new set of 6 Christmas ornaments in the Old World Primitives Etsy shop.

New on Etsy Today

I listed a new item in my Old World Primitives Etsy shop last night – a bag of primitive candy cane ornaments. They had sold by this morning, so I have listed them again. 🙂

Vintage Style Halloween Folk Art Ornaments

Due to the popularity of my first set of chenille Halloween ornaments, I decided to create some more spooky new ornies. This set is also an Old World Primitives design and includes two of each design pictured, for a total of 6 ornaments in the set.

Chenille Halloween Folk Art Ornaments

Here are my newest creations – a set of Halloween ornaments that I designed. I created them with chenille and some of my favorite vintage Halloween images printed on card stock. I think they will be right at home on one of my feather trees or perhaps hanging from a pegboard.
