Of course after that others had to be added, Clara with her nutcracker of course and the Mouse King.
After that I needed Herr Drosselmeyer and a Pirate
Next came a Santa Nutcracker
After that came more and larger nutcrackers
Mac began branching out after that and soon I had a Bear Nutcracker and a Football Player Nutcracker
Feeling really creative the next year he adapted some nutcrackers and made me a Jeeves and a Poirot
We watched some Duck Dynasty the next year and who should appear under our tree, why Uncle Sy
Then this year, after seeing DCI Barnaby's wife Sarah imitate Clint Eastwood he knew I needed a Clint Nutcracker so he adapted one for me.
Like I said, it all began simply enough.
This man's talents are unbelievable. I'm so impressed with your personalized collection. I don't have one!!! Maybe that's something I should start...at 73, maybe not...nice thought. I'll just enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection.
ReplyDeleteLove the Poirot one. How very clever of Mac.
cheers, parsnip
I'm with angry parsnip. I smiled broadly until Poirot came up. I howled. How perfect.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your New Year will be wonderful! Best wishes for all good things in 2015 to you and yours! xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous, a wonderful collection. All the very best to you and yours for 2015.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful collection of nutcrackers! We had a few and my daughter was afraid of them when she was little. In fact, she still doesn't like them. She says they are "creepy"! I think she might like some of yours, though.
