Thomas Kinkade Illuminated Santa Claus Tabletop Decor

Santa Claus has always been one of my home's most unique holiday decorations. I had many Santa display pieces before losing them to a big tropical storm. I have since taken it as a challenge to find some of the Santa Claus decorations I once had and collected. So many of my pieces were from my great-grandmother's collection. Now there are so many reproduction pieces and classic statues available I see it as my job to make an even better collection.

This Thomas Kinkade Santa is a beautifully designed elegant piece. As with all of the Bradford Exchange collections, it brings quality to your home. The realistic fire in the fireplace, the little toys in the toy bag, and the Kinkade art hanging on the wall this piece demonstrate exquisite artistry. There are even toys in the Christmas stocking on the fireplace. Truly amazing.

The Santa figure is a first of a kind. It is illuminated by a realistic light decorating the artwork above the mantel. Each of these Thomas Kinkade pieces is handcrafted and painted, making it a truly unique part of the artwork. Since Thomas Kinkade was introduced into the Saturday Evening Post Hall of Fame, it is sure to be an excellent investment. These figurines are highly valued and in high demand. So don't miss your opportunity to get in on this piece. It is sure to be a collector's item and significant investment—something to pass on to future generations to treasure as an expertly designed and created work of art.

The Kinkade art collectible is seen in many homes across the states. You may even have friends that have them hanging in the living rooms. Next time you see one, look at how the light is used to add drama to the scene. The same is accomplished with the Christmas figures you find for tabletop displays.

It is easy to collect pieces over time. You may even ask your family to help you complete your Christmas collection with the gifts they give you. I know I am always excited to get a new collectible for Christmas.

You will soon discover many different types of Kinkade collectibles. The types of art include paintings, Christmas village displays, decorative plates, and even puzzles. I like to set up a puzzle table for my guests. The children enjoy placing the puzzle together while the adults reminisce about old times. Sometimes the adults help the children complete these puzzles and interact with the children creating memories and traditions that get passed through the generations.

The Christmas collectibles available are many. If you are beginning to collect, you may want to start by checking local ads or craigslist to find affordable pieces to add to your collection. eBay and Etsy also have select figures at affordable prices.

I like to search garage sales and flea markets to find items to add to my collection. I see things that are high quality and cost very little. The summer months are the best time to get the best deals. Many sellers want to get rid of these decorations and are willing to sell them at reasonable prices.

The friendly feeling that the Kinkade Collection incites is something that warms your heart. Sometimes when you are alone, you can just sit back in your chair and imagine yourself as part of the Christmas scene. I can still remember some of the times I sat in the living room with just the Christmas lights on and felt like I was actually in the holiday village myself.

The Thomas Kinkade, Christmas Village Collection, was designed as a collectible to be passed down through the generations. When you start your collection of tabletop collectibles, you will discover that there are many Kinkade designs to see. In addition, you may find other types of display items to add to your Christmas collection.

Many websites specialize in Kinkade art. The Bradford Exchange is a popular site as it is the Kinkade site. You will discover that there are so many pieces to collect you could spend your time just deciding which display to get first. Always start with a plan so you aren't overwhelmed by the immense collection of Christmas decor available.
