Merry Christmas to all! In honor of this, the most wonderful season of all, I'd like to share with you some photos of our home, and our holiday decorations old and new.  Featured are some of the vintage Christmas items I've been sharing with you these past few weeks. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, or whatever holiday you celebrate, full of love, family and cherished traditions.

On behalf of the Copycat Collector, I would like to thank you for reading my blog! I hope you enjoy this last wrap-up of the decorations of the Christmas season!

COLLECTION #24: Lori C. Mitchell Figures

 
Most of my collections are old things, but I do have the occasional modern collectible. These charming figures are designed by the talented artist Lori C. Mitchell. She sells both her original papier mache scuptures, and has licensed her art to the ESC Trading Co. for reproductions. (Of course, mine are the reproductions). I was introduced to Lori's work by my daughter Amy, who manages a charming boutique in Salt Lake City, where they sell many of her figures. Amy has given me some as gifts, and a couple of them I've bought myself. I think there will be a much bigger Lori Mitchell collection in the future! (Gee, why didn't I think to do this six months from now?)


I love them all, but do have a warm spot for the cowboy & cowgirl (since I love all things cowboy and cowgirl), and the elephant, which was Amy's first Lori Mitchell gift to me. And for those asking, no, I am not planning to sell any of my figures!
