My Christmas House - Vintage Display

Skating Snowbabies

Call me a romantic and storyteller. I love the images of old-fashioned Christmases and the tales they seem to tell. I'm not adverse to adding new pieces to my displays however, or even objects that seem out of proportion. In this scene, the snowbabies that my grandmother collected, are skating on a mirror (frozen pond) around a crystal ​paperweight that we can imagine is a sculpted piece of ice. The newer, larger snowbaby I imagine as a snowbaby angel overlooking the little ones. 

Perhaps I'll even expand on this scene in a story someday. Wouldn't that be fun?
