I seen her setting there and for hardly nothing in price compared to other Santos I have priced. So all I could do was bring her home. Wouldn't you for under $20?
She is 25 inches tall and I can see white paint coming her way though I sort of like this brown chippy metal that she is. Would you paint her ?
It is so cold here today down to zero tonight with wind chills negative in the single digits. When I went to work this morning the streets wasn't cleared off from our snow last night and early this morning. However my neighbor with his new snow blower cleaned off my drive way for me LOL Bless his heart
linky parties I will join in
She is lovely...and the cold won't bother her a bit! WHAT a buy!!! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteShe's perfect just the way she is! No paint needed. What a great buy. I hear you about the cookies! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful just the way she is!
ReplyDeleteI love her distressed finish, too. And, you can always paint her, later.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful and what a great price. Great score.

Thank goodness for the kindness of neighbors! Stay safe and warm. I would have bought her, too, and she is yours now so do what makes you happy!
ReplyDeleteOoohhhh...she's beautiful! I love her just the way she is BUT.....you paint her the way you like. Make her yours and do what makes you happy. She'll be lovely in whatever you choose! Great score by the way!! Happy creating.

I think she is beautiful and even cheap hearted me would have taken her home.
ReplyDeleteI like her just as she is, but you could paint and distress her to match your decor if you like.

I love your Santos (new word for me!)--I don't think I'd paint her. She looks lovely as is :) I found you through TTF (Thrifty Things Friday) and started following you today.
ReplyDeleteoh I love her!! YES....under $20 is awesome :) Hope you had a lovely Christmas & New Year...AND that you are keeping warm....oh how we love the winter weather right?!!!
ReplyDeleteShe's delightful and don't change a thing! A great buy for sure, and we do need to treat ourselves sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI have two large repro santos dolls - both are wood and were quite expensive - and I enjoy them so much in my home. Both have removable wings which I usually put away after Christmas but this time I'm leaving them in place because they are so beautiful. I first fell in love with them when visiting the Spanish missions outside of San Antonio, TX.
Visiting from Elizabeth's post!
Happy New Year to you and yours - stay warm and safe through the winter.

oh my gosh how lovely
ReplyDeleteShe is fab, but you know me, I paint everything. Having said that, I would probably "live" with her as is, for a while (she's beautiful)....then someday come up from behind her and jump her with a brush full of paint! :-)) Okay, maybe not "jump" (been in the city too long, picking up the vernacular) but a bit of "war paint" always makes a girl feel good!
ReplyDeleteIt is STILL freezing!! Be careful out there, missy.
Happy New Year!!
Big hugs
Elizabeth
A great find! I didn't buy any new Christmas decorations this year either. Cold here too, try and stay warm, Laura
ReplyDeleteShe is a beauty, Janice!
ReplyDeleteOh ya..I would have snatched her up in a heart beat!! She is gorgeous! Now stay warm and let me know when you and your cousin get to Florida lol!
ReplyDeleteCarol
