If you came here looking for The Christmas Lady or The Cottontail Collection, you're at the right place! I recently combined my two webstites into one. I create a unique variety of one of a kind items, including santas, snowmen, rabbits, chicks, Americana and Halloween items. I take pride in my attention to detail, as I meticulously handcraft each creation using paperclay, papier mache, or cloth. Mica, vintage trims, German glass glitter and tinsel, give my items a look that's reminiscent of earlier times. Some pieces are crafted in the Folk Art tradition, some from vintage or reproduction chocolate molds, while others look like they were handed down from the Victorian Era. The Christmas section includes snowmen, santas, snowbunnies and Victorian Christmas stockings. My Cottontail Collection section has bunnies and chicks for the Spring and Easter season. Of course, the Halloween page has the Halloween items and last, but not least, is a section for all of the other holidays, including Valentines Day and the 4th of July! So sit back, relax, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and take a peek at what I have to offer! New creations are added weekly, so I hope you'll visit often! ~~Nancy Lee Malay~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love hearing from my visitors!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've started creating my Santas and Snowmen again! This Santa's face was sculpted from clay, with glass eyes, mohair beard and hair, and his body is a cotton batting covered wire armature. I made his little shoes out of two kinds of leather. His cotton velvet coat is trimmed in real lambs wool. He wears wool mittens and pants, and has a sleigh full of vintage looking toys!
