Possible Dreams Santas & ClothtiqueThe Possible Dreams collection of decorative pieces depicts Santa Claus in every imaginable situation or setting. Have you ever wondered whether Santa ever goes to the beach? Look at “Life’s a Beach,” a figurine of Santa relaxing under a Coconut Palm with his flip flops on and a cool drink in his hand.
Can you imagine him driving anything but a sled? Check out “Nick & His Chick,” in which Mr. & Mrs. Claus enjoy the great outdoors on a motorcycle. In this collection of Santa figurines you’ll find African American Santa, carpenter Santa, Santa making pizza, the Clauses playing cards – anything you can possibly dream of. Possible Dreams Santas and other collectible figurines from the same line are made with a unique process that has been in use for centuries. Craftsmen use porcelain, resin, and stiffened fabric to create decorative figurines clothed in realistic garments. These techniques and materials combined with the work of talented artists result in beautiful and imaginative figurines that recall Christmas past in all its guises – past, present, in every culture, in every walk of life. Santa Claus is the main event in this charming line of Christmas collectibles, but Clothtique by Possible Dreams includes more than just Santa figurines. You’ll find Walt Disney characters in Christmas scenes: the Little Mermaid in a Christmas cape or Donald and Daisy Duck with Daisy’s Christmas wish list. There are snowfolk – snowmen dressed for work or play – and there are angels: look for them among the Celtic Irish pieces. The Irish Guardian Angel Tree Topper was new in 2006. Clothtique by Possible Dreams figurines are readily available on the internet all year round. A number of online merchants carry large selections of the figurines, and some even carry a few of the retired Possible Dreams Santas, pieces that will likely become valuable collector’s items in the years to come. Internet buying offers the convenience of shopping for the pieces you want without having to comb the stores, as well as the ease of having your purchases shipped straight to your door, often without any extra charge. There’s one of the Possible Dreams Santas, or other Christmas figurines, for every budget. Some of the smaller pieces, like Christmas tree ornaments sell for under $20, while the larger pieces, most of them between 9.5 and 11 inches tall, are priced between $35 and $70. In general, the more intricate the design, the more you will pay – all of these collectible pieces have the look of quality craftsmanship to justify even the higher price tags.
Collectors of Clothtique by Possible Dreams meet online as well. If you’re a dedicated collector, you can join The Santa Claus Network and enjoy getting newsletters containing information on the newest creations. Members of this club enjoy free Santas and special offers available to no one else. Collectors who like to buy and trade older pieces also do so on the internet – there are many opportunities for the avid collector to expand his or her collection.
