A few weeks before Christmas I received a text from my friend, ceramic
artist, Patti Beck. She asked if I had any honey left. "A little bit."
She said she is making me a Santa Claus and she would like to trade me for honey. I felt honored. Especially when I saw the pre-fired Santa.
Every year Patti makes a new Santa with a theme. This year it was a beekeeper!
Look at the details.
A beekeeper's hat.
A bee skep.
A honey pot.
And check this out......on Santa's coat!
So while I was there, picking up my Santa, I saw this swamp woman with blonde hair! And I thought she looked like she came right up out of our pond. So I texted my shug an asked him to get her for me for Christmas!
Here she is!
She has several frogs and a fish on her,
and she even has algae hanging off of her cuffs!
My Shug got her for me for Christmas!

Wow! I love that santa! What great beekeeping details. What a treasure. I hope the weather is better for you. It hit 50 in MA today. I had lots of bee activity around my hive. Looks like mine survived the polar vortex. Now onto the next challange.
