Santa Bear and his Sleigh - ADOPTED!

I created this vignette especially for the 1st Annual Softie Thanksgiving Day Parade being hosted on my friend Lisa's blog: http://qdpatooties.blogspot.com

Check it out, there's lots of great entries! On Sunday Lisa will be setting up an online voting booth so you can vote for your favorite entry. There are so many great entries, it will be hard!

Now that the Santa's have brought up the ending of the parade, I wanted to post my Santa here on my blog. Yes, he IS available for adoption!! I have not listed him on my website yet, but he can be adopted now, just drop me an email if you are interested at bears (@) TeddiesbyLauraLynn (dot) com

My Santa Bear is an 8" mohair bear. His outfit is actually mohair and part of his body construction - although his hat and belt ARE removable! (his belt is NOT mohair) His snowy white beard is actually needlefelted on with fiberfil. I used fiberfil as it is very hard to find real white wool!

His face has been carefully trimmed, needlesculpted and shaded to give him extra personality. He's been filled with tiny glass pellets for weight and fiberfil. Yes, he is freestanding! His sleigh is made from beautiful green metal trimmed in gold colored metal and comes with all the toys you see there. (both sleigh and toys were purchased)

This is a One of a Kind set. His adoption fee is $145 INCLUDING shipping in the US. International collectors need only to pay an extra $10 fee for shipping. I've got some more photos down below...
