It can't be helped. Visitors to Mitford always wear a smile, / and that's especially true of these snowmen who've come / for Christmas. Year-round residents have been most generous / with their gifts of scarves, buckets, flowerpots, knit hats--even / apples from Miss Sadie's orchard...and not many snowmen / get a chance to ski or race down Main Street in a wheelbarrow. / No wonder these lucky fellows have decided to stay! / Inspired by Jan Karon's novels set in Mitford--a charming little / town in the Carolina Hills. / Sculpted by / Sue Tague / For decorative use only. Not for young children. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux jeunes enfants. / Handcrafted - Dated 2000
