Have any of you ever heard of "The Whimsical Whittler"? He and his wife carve and paint old world Santas, which I find incredible. As a matter of fact, after seeing their work in a magazine a few years ago, I knew I had to learn to carve! Apparently, there is an Early American Artisan Show taking place in PA in Sept and they will be there. As luck would have it, it's only about 45 minutes from my home so I already have the date written down! For any of you who may be interested, I copied the link. It seems really cool. There's a calendar of events too so maybe the show will be brought closer to some of your homes too.
