Krinkle.

  What is a Krinkle you ask?

Well it is only the most charming decoration that this holiday has ever seen and I fell in love with them in a tiny shop on the Pacific Ocean.  

This was one of my firsts...

When I laid my eyes on this resting santa, on his very own half moon, I nearly melted to the floor.  The following moments had me reeling with joy as I noticed a store full of these little guys in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

That day, after an hour or two of choosing, I believe I left with five or so.  I continued to visit that ocean, that store, that place where my mom lived, to collect more of these tiny wonders.

  Now I have enough to fill a tree!

I love this Santa, hitting the wintry slopes with his old school goggles on.  Santa is always so busy, it is nice to see him relaxing and enjoying himself.

He is a handsome fella he is...

And my dear thinking Santa.  Hard at work.  Getting ready for his big day.  

I hand carried these all the way from Arizona to Vermont but despite my efforts this one lost a little leg. I have it, hope to fix him right up.

What a dear he is...



Then one year, this happened...

and it was love in a glance.  The one and only, hands down, most amazing Santa I have seen to date.

Best. Topper. Ever.

So I am pretty sure that topper shown above is not an actual Krinkle, but I don't mind.  Actual Krinkles are delicately crafted by a one Patience Brewster.  If you google the name you are sure to find many delights...  
If I had my way I would choose this set for holiday 2011...

OK...I am new to these linky party thing-a-ma-jiggers... but they are kinda fun!

I linked today to these...
