A Dickens Christmas (For Donn)

Today I have a wonderful set of Christmas stand up pieces for you to admire. They are a set of Dickens Christmas figures from Heartstrings.

Donn, I thought of you when I saw these.  Here's the entire set on the Artists Collection website (they distribute Heartstrings).  Stephanie and her friend got theirs through Needle Works in Austin.  They aren't on the NWKS website right now but any shop can order them for you.
