This was my first find today, and it made me so happy I almost didn't care if I found anything else. I have my childhood Santa mugs (just a little different than these), and some tiny ones I've picked up here and there, but sadly, we lacked a Santa pitcher. Things are lookin' up in the Oodles household.
However, I found something even better at the same yard sale, and something even better than that at the auction that followed. I can't wait to show it to you ...
But first I've got a little sorting to do.
Is that MORE fabric? I guess that auction must have been good! (too good?)

Better than the Santa Pitcher??? You must have learned from Beth Leintz how to create a cliff hanger. Do you know that it's one am over here and that I want to sleep now and don't want to get too excited huh?

Thanks for leaving us hanging, and to put icing on the cake you had to show the boxes. Do you know what stacks of boxes full of "stuff" does to me?
Oh, and love the Santa mugs and pitcher.
