I first became acquainted with Patience Brewster's figurine designs when I wrote a page about her reindeer ornaments. Her nativity figurines are just as whimsical and interesting.
If you like the unconventional, home decorating for the holiday season should include some of these whimsical statues. The handmade popular sets sell out fast at Christmas time. And when the season is over, maybe you would like to keep some of her other cute figures sitting around the house just for fun.
The nativity set is a combination of traditional, with the holy family and wise men, along with some fun additions such as the shepherd girl holding a lamb, with a collie dog and corgi standing next to her. They are decked out in Christmas attire, of course!
Are you a collector of Patience Brewster?
Ya, I think you overdid it... ha! But you may need a new one just for fun. Only 10 months to go... get shopping......!!
Ah don't tempt me, Dusty. :) I love Nativity sets and crib figures and this Christmas I had just 7 around the downstairs of the house in various styles from one hanging on the tree to a mini plant pot Nativity that I made to stand on the dining room fireplace and a mini door hanging one on the front door . Lovely, lovely, lovely. Thank you. Not long until Christmas now ! :)
I have never heard about Patience Brewster before. Her work is surprisingly warm, it glows completely differently than the figurines I am used to. It's definitely understandable the collectors love it.
I went back and added the sizes according to the descriptions at Amazon. They are 6, 7 and 8 inches (with those little pups being shorter of course). Oops, I forgot the nativity. I'll go add sizes for that one too. Thanks for pointing that out @blackspanielgallery!
The images do not include other objects for a point of size reference, so what size are they, or do they come in multiple sizes?
These nativity figurines are stunning, I love the creative design and art work is outstanding.
