Snowy Photos
It is next to impossible to get over to our island once the snow falls...so we look from the main land and dream about summer...We rarely plow causeway and the cove really is never safe as there are so many active springs under the water that it takes an incredible amount of time to freeze even when the temps are below freezing for a week or so...The last time we actually skated on the cove was in 1996...the springs are very very active....the main pond freezes over very quickly but our cove is a different story...

Old Holiday Teaser...Our Antique Snowman Collection
I love old snowmen. I have collected them for years...when the cold weather starts to come around one can't help but think of the holidays. So I thought I would share a little of my snowman collection as a type of teaser for all those that love old Christmas items.
I keep all my old snowmen in antique oak vitrines. I have American, Japanese, German, Russian, Czech and many other snowmen of different origins. As you can see they are composed of all types of materials...glass, cotton batting, hard plastic, plaster, cardboard, scrap, paper and more.
I also collect old Christmas trees..feather, brush, glass, hard plastic and more. I also have a few Santas but for some unknown reason Santa just doesn't get to me like a snowman does.
In this vitrine I have more snowmen and as well as our kugel collection...these are glass ornaments...blown glass balls of different colors and silvered . They come in a variety of shapes and colors...some very rare and can be very expensive.
In this china cabinet are more snowmen as well as some old Halloween items. The turkeys were my grandmother's and they are very dear to me.
