This Gorgeous One of a Kind Waterless Santa Snow Globe is one of my newest creations. When I was a little girl me and my grandmother used to do crafts together. We used to use old jars and make snow globes for Christmas using plastic flowers, beads, mica flakes, pearls, and any other odds and ends we could find around the house. That was a very fond memory for me and I want to bring that same Warmth and Joy to your Holiday this year.

This is my waterless rendition of the old Snow Globes we used to make. It started off with an image copied from one of my Antique Postcards of a Victorian Santa for the Holidays. It was then Glittered with Vintage AB Glitter in just the right spots and then mounted upon a pedastal of faux snow and Vitnage Mica Flakes. The top has Vintage hand ruffled Lace, Vintage Champagne Ribbon & a piece of Vintage Jewelry. I hand colored the "Seasons Greetings" banner and then added lots of Vintage AB Glitter to it for lots of Holiday Sparkle.

The Bottom was covered with some Vintage Ruffled Eyelet Lace trim along with Vintage Pearls and a Vintage Rayon Ribbon Bow accented with another bit of Vitnage Jewerly with Shimmery Rhinestones. The back of the Santa is covered with Vintage Christmas Sheet Music. So no matter what direction you look at it from, it has something special to look at. This would look Lovely perched atop a mantle or as a center piece on your Holiday Table.

It measures 7½" high and is 3¾" wide at it's widest point. This would make a Gorgeous Christmas Gift for either yourself or someone special in your life!

I accept Paypal and All 4 Major Credit Cards. If you prefer to pay with a major credit card, then contact me further to find out how. Please pay for your purchases within 5 days. If for some reason you cannot, please contact me prior to your bid/purchase and I'm sure we can work something out. I'm fair, honest and easy going and would just appreciate the same in return.

All of my items are shipped using USPS Priority. It is the fastest, most cost effective, and safest way to ship. I will however ship UPS for large items as long as they are not fragile, if it is more cost effective to do so. I do charge a small handling fee to cover my costs, but nothing that I myself would not be willing to pay.

I do combine shiping on items won or purchased within a 7 day period as long as you pay for your items in one payment. If you are watching or bidding on other items, then please let me know and I will send you a combined invoice once you let me know you are finished shopping.

I do ship Internationally, just email me for shipping quote if there isn't anything in the shipping calculator for it. Also due to time restraints and gas prices, I will only be shipping 2x per week, usually Mondays and Thursdays until further notice. I will however accommodate if you need something fast, just let me know prior to purchase.

I always hate to have to add terms, but it is necessary to protect you as well as myself and other bidders. So please read over my terms before you bid or purchase so that we can all have a smooth and pleasant transaction.

If you have any questions about the item or my policies, please send me an email through the ebay "Ask the seller a question" system. All sales are final. I do not accept returns unless items are grossly exaggerated and I do not pay shipping charges either way. I do my best to describe items to the best of my knowledge. Most of my items are either handcrafted or vintage, so some signs of wear might be present and should be expected in the used or vintage items. I would only sell items that I would proudly display in my own home.

If there is a problem with your purchase, then please contact me before you leave me negative feedback. If I don't know that there is a problem, I can not try to resolve it. I'm fair and honest and I think my feedback says it all. I'm always willing to come to a compromise if there needs to be one.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but it must be done to protect the interest of not only me, but other bidders as well. If you have any negative feedback within the last month or only have a feedback rating of 20 or less, you must email me first. If you do not, I will cancel your bid, no questions asked. That does not mean that you cannot bid, it only means I want to make contact with you.

* Please don't be scared to bid on my items if there is a reserve price. If there is a reserve pricing on my items, it's only there to either cover the cost of the item or to cover the cost of materials used and a little of my time for making the item, but in no way reflects all of my time. I want each of my pillows and other handcrafted items to be the perfect accent to your home. So, I spend a lot of time and attention to detail on each item to make sure that they are perfect. I also spend a lot of time to add detailed accents that others may overlook to sell more pillows and other items. That is why I don't sell as many as others may, but the time I take shows in the quality of my items. Just look at my feedback. My reserve prices are always reasonable!

I take pride in all of the items that I sell, whether it be a new, used, vintage or hand crafted. I will only sell items that I would want and display proudly in my own home or garden. I use only the best materials that are available to me. So you can bid with confidence in knowing that your item will be cherished and loved for many years to come. I do custom orders on some of my items if possible. If you are interested just contact me.

My Studio is smoke and pet free! 

We do not smoke at all, but we do own a cat and two birds. Although, my studio is seperate from the rest of the household and the birds and cat do not come in, I just want to be honest.

Please use my creations to inspire you to create your own beauty in your life, but please do not copy my designs. I work very hard to create unique and one of a kind creations to bring romance and joy to others lives. It saddens me when others copy my designs and claim them as their own. I do know that there are always going to be others out there with similar ideas without the slightest knowledge of my creations, since creative minds do think alike. But my creations are my copyright, intellectual and sole property. I will report any infringement of my copyright or intellectual rights to eBay's VERO program or whatever means necessary to protect my integrity. It saddens me to even have to add this disclosure and I hope that you can understand why I must.
