A professional graphic designer who uses her background in art history and restoration to create everyday objects you can enjoy in your home or as wearable art. It's a joy to bring the best art and design of ages past into everyday life, plus invitations and DIY party projects. If you don't already share my love for artists and illustrators such as Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Beatrix Potter, Carl Larsson and John Tenniel, perhaps you'll discover a new enthusiasm.

Vintage Santa Claus Christmas Postcard Post Card




Vintage Santa Claus Christmas Postcard Post Card

A wonderful Antique Santa Claus from 1909

A wonderful antique Santa Claus from 1909 all dressed for the snowy night in his fur-trimmed coat and hat of green. You can tell he loves the beautiful Christmas tree all lit with candles and festooned with glittering gold. He's carrying gaily-wrapped packages and a bag full of toys ~ dolls and marionettes ~ to delight the children on Christmas morn.

From a 1909 postcard. The reverse (where you write your message and address the card) is also done up in the authentic style of the period, but updated a bit for modern use (sorry, you can't send postcard these days for only "one cent domestic, two cents foreign"!).

Matching Christmas cards, postage stamps, address labels, stickers, note cards and more are available in my gallery's Vintage Santa Category.
